Ouch.
I don’t think a heartbreak will stay with me as much as the Philadelphia Union’s loss to LAFC on Saturday. Philadelphia was two minutes from winning an MLS Cup on the road. In a season where they could have finished with the Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup, they got neither.
But I digress. This isn’t a rant about the loss. This is a column about my experience as one of those loyal 2,000 fans who made the trek to the City of Angels.
I write this on Sunday, on a flight from Phoenix back to Philadelphia.
