Chester, Pa. (March 26, 2012) - After suffering a tough 1-0 loss in Chicago on Saturday night, Philadelphia Union look to bounce back when they host the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday, March 31 at 4:00 p.m. EST on 6abc. The Union are 1-1 all-time against the Whitecaps and 1-0 at PPL Park, having defeated Vancouver, 1-0, on March 26, 2011.

Freddy Adu, Amobi Okugo, Sheanon Williams and the U-23 U.S. Men's National Team continue their quest for Olympic qualifying today, when the squad faces off against El Salvador at 9:00 p.m. EST. The squad holds their destiny in their own hands, as a victory against El Salvador would guarantee a spot in the tournament semifinals. The U.S. could also advance to the semifinals with a draw against El Salvador if Canada loses against Cuba. The top two teams from Group A and B advance to the semifinals in Kansas City which will be played on March 31 at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. The semifinal winners will join the 16-team field for the 2012 London Olympics.
