On Saint Patrick’s day at Talen Energy Stadium, the Son’s of Ben were gifted with a start from the new Philadelphia Union number 10, Borek Dockal in a 0-0 draw with the Columbus Crew.
Replacing Anthony Fontana, Dockal looked like he needed time to settle in in the early going. But while that happened the Union defense held firm and kept the fast-starting Crew off of the scoreboard. In their second game together, the pairing of Auston Trusty and Jack Elliott looked more assured and were able to keep Zardes at bay.

Wednesday’s news of Borek Dockal signing with the Philadelphia Union provided a sigh of relief for Union fans everywhere. The long-awaited attacking midfielder not only provides a solution for a position of need, but allows the rest of the offensive weapons on this squad to thrive at their positions. While the attacking core of this Union team is far from the most potent on paper across Major League Soccer, there are blue chip pieces on this squad that can wreak havoc should they gel in the ways expected by head coach Jim Curtin. Here’s your preview of who’s getting the minutes and what to expect from the Union attack this seaso

With a preseason injury to Ilsinho, it looked like the Philadephia Union would open the season with a combonation of the unproven duo of  Adam Najem and Anthony Fontana. While it would be good that the team would be playing their kids, it wouldn’t bode well for a team that needs to win now following their investment in David Accam earlier this offseason. 
Luckily reports are showing that the Philadelphia Union are in negotiations with an attacking midfielder/right winger, Borek Dockal. The Czech international is currently playing for Henan Jianye in the Chinese Super League following stops with AC Sparta Praha, Rosenborg BK, FC Slovan Liberec and Atiker Konyaspor during his career. Dockal has Europa League experience which could make this a very interesting get for the Philadelphia Union. His agency broke the news that he is traveling to the states for contract negotiations.
