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.

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.

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
