Locker Room Jams: A DOOP inspired Philly Union Playlist

After Yael Averbuch revealed songs the top women in the world of football listen to on the regular, SWOL decided to bring that investigative curiosity to the men’s side. Our adventures brought us to Philadelphia and specifically inside the Philly Union’s locker room at their very impressive stadium: PPL Park.

Will the Sons of Ben new pregame ritual include the playlist of their very own Union players?

Below we take a look at some of the current favorites of the boys that represent Philly. If you’ve ever wondered what your favorite player was listening to as he got off the bus in preparation for a big match, then wonder no more. Is that Justin Beiber blaring through his headphones? Perhaps. Maybe its the catchy flow of Meek Mill or even the legendary chords of Carlos Santana. Take a look at the songs and our brief player bios. Match ‘em up and see how you did at the bottom. We’ve included a link to Spotify so you can give the songs a listen as well.

Spotify Link to Philadelphia Union Playlist
Freddy Adu: (Midfielder) All you have to do is watch his first goal celebration in the Sept. 23 match against the Houston Dynamo to figure out this talented playmaker’s favorite song. Freddy’s all rap all day.
Zac MacMath: (Goalkeeper) This up and coming, young goalkeeper likes to his local artists, but when it comes to thisâ€"he’s all about getting a different perspective.
Roger Torres: (Midfielder) One of the original fan favorites of the team, Roger went with a club banger of a song with his pick.
Chase Harrison: (Goalkeeper) Always one to bring the energy to the locker room, “Chaser” went with a Rock Band classic.
Josue Martinez: (Winger/Striker) “El Senor” blasts shows of his appreciation for his mom with this reggae song everday.
Porfirio Diaz: (Defender) “Porfi” is one of the characters of the locker room but when it comes to this artist’s Spanish guitar he’s all business.
Amobi Okugo: (Midfielder/Defender) Sometimes calling himself “The Nigerian Nightmare,” Amobi is all about Young Money records, “No Lie” man.
Michael Farfan: (Midfielder) Michael keeps things pretty simple with his music. You can say it’s part of his “Motto”.
Jack McInerney: (Striker) A man of few words, “Mc” chose a song that has a lot to say about his Georgia roots.
Chandler Hoffman: (Striker) Probably one of the most peaceful dudes on the team, it should be easy to guess which song “Chandala” mellows out to.
Ray Gaddis: (USA) Quite the self-proclaimed dancer, any fan of Brazilian music will be able to see why “Ray Ray” sambas to this song.
Cristian Hernandez: (Midfielder) Don’t let his smooth passing and silky feet fool you, “Cristina” will “Burn” You if you don’t watch out.
Keon Daniel: (Midfielder) In pure island fashion, “Kee” brought some upbeat reggae dancehall to the list.
Jimmy McLaughlin: (Midfielder) “Glock” is one of the hometown kids of the future, but this Philly native likes some west coast “Coffee” with his music.
Sheannon Williams: (Defender) A young dude with an old soul, Sheannon is a big fan of this 90’s throwback song.
Gabe Farfan: (Defender) One of the California guys on our team, “G” feels pretty “luminated” with this song.
Chris Albright: (Defender) “Albridge” has done it all in his long career, but surprised a few people with this heartfelt tune from a young, east coast music group
Bakary Soumare: (Defender) “Bak” might be an intimidating presence in person, but when it comes to music, he shows his sensitive side with this song.
Greg Jordon: (Midfield/Defender) Greg “Young Geezie” Jordon only his “Time” on his mind with this current alternative rock hit.
Krystian Witkowski: (Midfielder) Polish by heritage but not with music, “Wiki” shows off his inner rap soul.
Brian Carroll: (Midfielder) What you see is what you get with “BC.” When it comes to music, he’ll tell you he’s all about this Los Angeles native’s music with no relation to Roger Torres.
Danny Cruz: (Midfielder) Danny is a fighter on the field but he like to give thanks to his “Momma” with this R&B classic.
Chris Konopka: (Goalkeeper) Being the pride of the Jersey Shore burden, but for “Pred” saying goodbye is never easy.
Antoine Hoppenot: (Striker) With more energy than a Duracell battery, Antoine and young girls across the world are listening to this artist’s songs.
Zach Pfeffer: (Midfielder) Humble as can be, “Pfeff” likes to connect with his Latin hip hop roots with this song.
Gabriel Gomez: (Midfielder) You might remember this smooth R&B song back in 2005 with its English and Spanish version. “Gavi” certainly does.
Carlos Valdes: (Defender) To youâ€"he’s el Capitan but to the rest of us he’s “Carliche.” “El Modelo” totally caught me off guard when I found him listening to this song. I think I might know this artist pretty well.
