That 2 min stretch where they tied it and took the lead was like having an adrenaline injection

And to think they were a (phenomenal) Blake save away from going down 2-0! But once they got that momentum back, it was over. Amazing.

Yeah sadly union won’t get the love the Phillies did qualifying for the World Series. But as a bandwagon boy who doesn’t watch MLS I’ll be watching the cup! Let’s goooo

Union just had to pick the year that the eagles are undefeated and the Phillies are in the World Series to get to the final lol. Phillies when good are on eagles level of popularity.

lordredsnake t1_iuhnrtz wrote

Honestly you couldn't ask for a better year to make this run. In a normal year the Union would be drowned out by the Eagles no matter what, but this year they get to be in the "Phillies are in the World Series, Eagles are undefeated... And oh yeah, the Union's going to the MLS Cup" conversation and feed on the insane level of sports enthusiasm flowing through the city's veins right now.

Wu-Tang_Killa_Bees t1_iuimlyv wrote

Yeah I think you're right with this take. Last year the Union was competitive but the other teams weren't, and as everyone talked about how much it sucks to be a Philadelphia fan, I was like "Hey, they Union are great!" and it seemed to piss people off more lmao

Ehhh if you live in the philly area then you can’t be a bandwagon fan. It’s your team as much as it is anyone else’s, you just hadn’t realized it yet.

electric_ranger t1_iuhz95x wrote

I like this mindset. Gate's open, come on in.

That said, as somebody who was there for the dark days, it's so rewarding to see the run of success they've had the past few years with winning the Shield and now advancing to the cup final.

Yup. We're not at a place to gate keep fans away. As long as you're loud you're welcome here

Nobody actually cares about soccer. Its the lamest sport.

Its exhausting seeing soccer get lumped in with things people in this city actually care about. It's just not going to happen.

People are weirdly obsessed with hating soccer. There are plenty of other sports people don't like/watch but there's this excessively vocal sector that need to tell you how much they hate soccer.

For real. Hockey isn't all that popular compared to the other major sports and you never really hear people going out of their way to shit on hockey

MLS attendance far outstrips NHL attendance lol.

Wu-Tang_Killa_Bees t1_iuk7sv2 wrote

Is that true? Regardless I'm sure NHL gets much higher metrics in TV and web viewership

Mike81890 t1_iuk9g6y wrote

Average attendance in NHL is somewhere around 16k, MLS in 2021 was 22,800 so less, but decently close.

NHL 2021 tv average viewership was 361,000 and MLS was 285,000 so more, but decently close.

NHL tv deal is 225m, MLS is 250m.

Looks like most metrics I pull are pretty damn close.

My voice is fried. Just got back home after roasting (and toasting) some NYCFC fans after the game. Holy shit! Sent those pigeons packing. Let's fucking go! How much are flights to LA?

Cheaper then a ticket to the World Series, in fact your whole trip may be less 🤣

Philly sports is a riot right now. We're visiting from the UK (booked many months ago, before both seasons even started), and going home on Friday. Sadly won't be around for the MLS final or games 6 and 7 of the WS.

I'll be watching the Union from home next weekend, but if the Phillies could just win the next 3 on the bounce, which would also coincide with our elopement day, that'd be great.

I was so obsessed with them when I was younger, if only I still tuned into them. Kid-me would be so hyped by the news of this.

Rule 3: Sports news is usually redirected to the relevant sports subreddit (/r/phillyunion) but like we did for the Phillies, we make exceptions for major events like championships.

The rule against low effort memes, screenshots, and duplicates (Rule 9) still applies.
