    City of Brotherly Soccer Love?

    Thursday, January 31, 2008, 06:07 AM EST [MLS Stadiums]

    Today, something kind of neat could happen to Philly.

    At 2pm, looks like a stadium decision could be made, carrying the balance of the decision if Philadelphia is awarded it's own Major League Soccer team.

    To have Philly get it's own club in this era of Major League Soccer would really be incredible as slowly bust surely MLS is starting to attract world talent....even this week as DC UNITED has signed Argentenian star Marcello Gallardo. Are we the premiership? No, but slowly but surely, Major League Soccer is moving in a positive direction.

    Now setting it's new club up in Philly? This would give the fans a chance to see some great talent....talent like Juan Pablo Angel, Eddie Johnson, Landon Donovan, Luciano Emilio, David Beckham and Blanco, come to Philadelphia, which, for Philly Soccer fans, makes things much easier than planning a road trip to see the NY Red Bulls or head down I-95 south to see what DC UNITED is up to.

    There's already a fan club for a Philly Soccer team that does even exist yet! They're an 1100 person club called THE SONS OF BEN. They've been outstanding in this Philly campaign. If as of 2pm, Philly is awarded their own team, the SONS OF BEN should be recognized for their tireless effort. They have a great site over at www.SonsOfBen.net

    This opens a new team in a new city with new opportunities.

    The possibilities are endless.
