            The schedule was released and then came the announcement of the nationally-televised broadcast.  The match between Union Omaha and Greenville Triumph had already been circled on many calendars, but then add a first-ever national broadcast for the league?  I don’t know about you, but I used the rest of the ink circling last SundayContinue reading “Battle on the Main Stage”

Well, the belt is still ours. And while that is sort of all that matters, there are a few very interesting things worth looking into following our match against the Triumph on Sunday. Let’s dive in. 1) No backline rotation. The disastrous affects of rotating our backline last year looms large in my memory. InContinue reading “Data Dump: at Greenville”

            It was the Championship that never happened.  Union Omaha and Greenville were set play the 2020 USL League One Championship when COVID-19 came crashing into the world like the Kool-Aid Man.  With the Championship cancelled, Union Omaha stayed home empty handed and Greenville was announced as the 2020 USL League One Champion.              Sunday’sContinue reading “Greenville Preview”

From a personal scheduling perspective there were a lot of advantages to getting my 2nd vaccine shot on Wednesday. Unfortunately, part of the downside was that I was not up for writing a recap. (Brief aside, get vaccinated!) But we should review the appetizer from Wednesday before the main course on Sunday, so let’s diveContinue reading “Data Dump: at New England”

            There were fears of this match being a trap game.  To get to the Sunday marquee match against Greenville, they’d have to get through the Wednesday match against New England Revolution II.  Thankfully, no one within the Union Omaha club was looking past Wednesday.             In a largely empty Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachussetts,Continue reading “New England Revolution II Recap”

Except for the fact that Union Omaha’s match took place on a Friday, last week actually felt like a normal USL League One kind of week.  Union Omaha and Greenville won their games, nobody scored more than two goals in their respective game, and we finally had our first draw of the season after 14Continue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 6”

            Union Omaha continues their road tour on Wednesday, May 12th when they face off against New England Revolution II in Gillette Stadium.  Kickoff is scheduled for 4 PM (CST) and will air on ESPN+.             The Owls are coming off a 2-0 road win against Fort Lauderdale last Friday.  After five days of rest,Continue reading “New England Revolution II Preview”

Life intervened and prevented me from having a comprehensive watch of this game. However, I have watched every minute of it at least once. And, *lowers voice to a whisper* it was a little boring. *returns to normal volume* We’re so very good at defending, and pressing, and counter-attacking, it all kind of melds intoContinue reading “Data Dump: at Fort Lauderdale”

Two matches, two victories, two clean sheets.  Not a bad start to the 2021 season.  On Friday, May 7th, Union Omaha defeated Fort Lauderdale CF 2-0, thanks to goals from Evan Conway and Dámi Viader.  With the three points, Union Omaha sits tied for second place in the current USL League One standings.             InContinue reading “Union Omaha Duplicates Win, Remains Undefeated”
