Maybe it's because it's a World Cup year. Maybe it's the three cups of free work coffee coursing through my veins. Maybe it's because I just bought FIFA two days ago. I don't know what it is, but dammit, I am PUMPED for the Philadelphia Union's premier season.
I, like white people, love the idea of soccer. I don't know all of the stars...or rules...or particularly enjoy watching an entire match, but I LOVE the idea of my city getting a pro "football" club. Especially one with the greatest soccer scarf in the world. It's so Ben Franklin -- so American. Just look at our badass logo and colors (after the jump). It's like we took the St. Louis Rams and fucked them with the girthy dick of America!
