Sounders at Philadelphia Union, live stream: Game time, TV schedule and lineups

At some point an executive at ESPN thought “let’s put soccer up against the NFL”, and so there would be games on Sundays. At some point that same person thought “even the early time slot when two-thirds of the NFL plays.” At some point that executive decided that putting a West Coast team at a 10 AM start was a good idea.

Sorry, I just fell asleep.

Where were we?
