Okay, so today I wanted to check out the lineups for the D.C. United vs. Philadelphia Union match. Here’s how I went about it, step-by-step.

Finding the Lineups
First, I fired up my browser. I usually just use Google for this kind of stuff. I typed in something like “D.C. United vs Philadelphia Union lineups”.
The search results popped up, and I saw some familiar names.
I clicked on it, It usually has the lineups pretty quickly once they’re available.
Checking the Starting XI
Once I got to, I looked for the match. I looked for the date and match time that make sure I am looking at the right match. I saw pre-match details at first.
I scrolled down a bit, and, there they were! The starting lineups for both teams. I saw each player’s name and their position. Simple as that.
Looking at Substitutes
I also wanted to see who was on the bench. You know, the substitutes who might come on later in the game.
So, I kept scrolling down and found the list of substitutes for both D.C. United and the Philadelphia Union.
Double-Checking Formation
Sometimes I like to check the formation, if show the formation, that let me know the basic shape of the time, 4-4-2, or others.

From my experience, this is the most straightforward way to get the lineups. I didn’t bother with other websites or apps this time because I’m get used to it.
And that’s it! That’s how I got the D.C. United vs. Philadelphia Union lineups. Pretty easy, right?
