Hometown hero? Watch new Union GK's emotional reaction to debut win

Stop the Philadelphia Union goalkeeper jokes for a second and watch the above video of John McCarthy, the local kid made good. McCarthy got his first career MLS start on Saturday, and backstopped his hometown team to a 2-1 win over NYCFC – Philly's first win of an already-difficult year.


It remains to be seen if McCarthy has won the job for good, but chances are he won a bunch of fans for life.
