Episode 413 - Cavan Sullivan Scores First MLS Goal in 4-3 Loss to Orlando City #doop x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We’ve got to believe. We shouldn’t just do things. We have to believe it,” Carnell said. “This is the plea to the guys to continue to believe.” My match recap on yesterday’s 4-3 Philadelphia Union loss to Orlando City with quotes from Bradley Carnell, Cavan Sullivan and Nathan Harriel. 🔗 thefreekick.substack.com/p/match-recap-… 📸 Philadelphia Union #doop

Dragging Mark Kelkenberg (@MarkKelkenberg) out of the college soccer and USL world to join me tonight for a special, perhaps suboptimal, edition of The Free Kick Podcast (@FreeKickPod) . Todd is on vacation, so the inmates are running the show. Join us at 9 PM as we talk about the seven-goal thriller that ultimately ended in a Union loss. youtube.com/live/3FNjRCgSs… See you then!

Cavan Sullivan has been named to MLS’ Team of The Matchday 13 for his performance against Orlando City last night. Sullivan played 47 minutes last night off the bench where he scored one goal, created five chances (the most in the game). The 16-year-old was a consistent threat on the right hand side of the field for the Union. 📸 MLS #doop

Cavan Sullivan came off the bench in the 44th minute replacing Jovan Lukic, as he made an impact right away with his cross finding Geiner Martínez, who hit the post. Sullivan played 47 minutes, registering five chances (most in game), and scored his first MLS goal. “That late first half push will probably go under the radar because of how good the second half was. But we came out flying once I came on the field. I felt like we had our moments. I’m always looking to come in and make an impact, and I felt I did that tonight.” #doop | #usynt | #usmnt

Cavan Sullivan talked about the frustrations of blowing the game late against Orlando City tonight. "We're giving it our all, and it just never seems to be enough. We keep giving up in the late 80th minute. It sucks. That second half push was great, it was incredible. Ben Bender had himself a game. Nate Harriel fights so hard for us. You see Raffanello out there working, working, and working. And it sucks. To the fans, we're sorry. You guys deserve more. But I feel good things are coming, and that second half push gives us good momentum going into the break." #doop | #usynt | #usmnt

Goodnight from Orlando 😴 @JoserNunez91 and @MarkKelkenberg with an all new @FreeKickPod tomorrow at 9:00 PM! #Doop

MARYLAND IS THE GREATEST STATE EVER!!!

GOAL CAVAN SULLIVAN!! His first MLS goal for the Philadelphia Union. Sullivan has been EXCELLENT since coming on late in the first half. #doop #umsnt #usynt

As I was saying: x.com/FreeKickPod/st…

These 43 seconds here from Cavan Sullivan is enough to show he's been the Union's best player coming on since replacing Jovan Lukic. #doop

Rain coming down hard here in Orlando now. Teams not out yet from halftime. #doop

Not sure what the injury was for Jovan Lukic here, but he can no longer play the rest of this game and ask for a substitution. Cavan Sullivan on #doop

Nathan Harriel had called the team to circle up after the Union conceded the second goal 27 minutes in against Orlando. Indiana Vassilev was clearly frustrated with what he’s seen from his teammates. #Doop

@nichenurse @FreeKickPod We’ve definitely noticed it’s less crowded! Seems to be a fair bit of people here from the UK.

@ItsAToddLife @FreeKickPod We used to visit in May only. Less crowded. Not as hot yet. Kids still in school. Enjoy!

15ish minutes until kickoff here at Inter&Co Stadium. 80° out, with 74% humidity. Very, very muggy here in Orlando. We’ll see how much of a factor the humidity plays on the Union players. #doop

@nichenurse @FreeKickPod Im still down here until Saturday. But it's been great! Hot and humid, but defiantly manageable. First time coming in May.

@ItsAToddLife @FreeKickPod How was Disney ?! It’s my favorite place to go visit !

Tonight's Philadelphia Union starting XI against Orlando City. Rotation from Bradley Carnell tonight as he makes four changes from Saturday's starting XI. Bender Bender slots in at left back, while Nathan Harriel moves over to the right. Jeremy Rafanello gets the start in midfield over Cavan Sullivan, Bruno Damiani starts up front over Ezekiel Alladoh and the biggest change is Andrew Rick in goal over Andre Blake (knee). Needs to be three points tonight. 📸 Philadelphia Union #doop
