On Saturday, Jack McInerney was in Vancouver playing forward as the Philadelphia Union snagged a road win over the Whitecaps, 1-0.

On Sunday, McInerney was in Chicago on the sidelines and watched the U.S. Men's National Team defeat Panama, 1-0, to win the Gold Cup championship.

On Wednesday, McInerney will be in Kansas City to participate in his first Major League Soccer All-Star Game.

The Union striker was added to the roster on Sunday after New York Red Bulls forward Tim Cahill had to bow out. In 19 games this season, McInerney has 10 goals and is in fourth place in the Golden Boot race.

He missed three games this month after a call-up to the USMNT, but while he was on the bench for the three pool play games he did not make an appearance. He was released from the team after the pool play round, but was invited back with other players that were released by coach Jurgen Klinsmann for the final.

The MLS All-Stars will take on AS Roma at 9 p.m. He is the fifth Union player to be selected to the All-Star game in the team's four-year history.
