Tomorrow is Game Day, and New York City FC will be in Philadelphia Chester to face Philadelphia Union in a grudge rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference Finals.
In case you’re new here, NYCFC won that game after defeating a Union forced to start several benchwarmers after COVID safety protocols sidelined some key starters. New York City went on to win the title, and Philadelphia has been simmering in their own resentment ever since.
But that was then: The Union are the No 1 seed in the Eastern Conference this year, and arguably the best team in MLS.
