Thirty-five thousand made it out to Lincoln Financial Field Saturday night to see the Philadelphia Union play their first ever home game. I, along with VP Joe Biden, was in attendance.(We didn’t go together) It was a promising start to the Union’s MLS career, as the home squad took down a 3-2 victory.

It’s impossible to imagine the MLS becoming as big as the EPL is to England, La Liga is to Spain, or Serie A is to Italy, but I was surprised to see such a strong showing Saturday night. It was a nice event to be a part of and I can see myself going back. If you’re a mainstream sports fan, I suggest you prepare yourself for a little different scene. The fans are just as aggressive and have some pretty sweet chants. (At least the United fans do) My particular favorite was “F#ck you Ref!”

If you are an up and coming soccer fan and have an MLS team near you, I would recommend checking it out. I’m just giving the MLS some due respect.
