Here are some video highlights from Peter Nowak's postgame press conference after the Union's 3-2 win over Chivas USA at PPL Park. It was definitely one of the more upbeat I can remember.
For whatever criticisms you might have wanted to level at the Union during Saturday's game, just remember that a certain segment of the population out there won't care about much else besides the fact that the Union are alone in first place in the Eastern Conference after the Red Bulls were held to a 1-1 tie by the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park on Sunday afternoon.
The complete standings are here.

This is an expanded version of my story that appears in Sunday's Inquirer. Go buy the paper, then come back here for more quotes and video highlights.
VANCOUVER, B.C. - The Union made a long trip across the continent this weekend to start the first of two straight games against the worst teams in Major League Soccer.
The Vancouver Whitecaps came into Saturday’s game firmly planted at the bottom of the Western Conference. But playing at home for the first time since director of soccer operations Tom Soehn replaced Teitur Thordasson as head coach, Vancouver looked nothing like a team that had not won since its home opener.
