Philly Soccer Fans Still Philly Fans

Manchester United -- the richest and most famous sports team in the world -- played its first stateside match in six years yesterday at a sold-out Linc against our expansion MLS Philadelphia Union. Although Man U ended up winning the match 1-0 without several of their starters, the Union looked impressive by all accounts. What am I most impressed with? The all-star play of F Sebastien Le Toux? The grit of MLS rookie Danny Mwanga? Nope. I'm impressed with Philly fans.

According to the Philadelphia Union Facebook page, the Sons of Ben (our cheering section) held shit down for Philly and massaged the ears of the Man U players and fans all night with "You Suck Asshole" chants and other miscellaneous vulgarities.

But it seems as though not everyone in Philly was happy with the chanting.

Whatever lady, your mom is lower class.  And I've used F words to get my point across for years now and its ALWAYS fucking worked!

Also, were we chanting "You suck, Asshole" or "You suck asshole"? Very different meanings.
