As an impartial reporter on Major League Soccer, you are never really meant to have favourite teams. Like any sports reporter, it is important to remain objective and rational when covering teams, especially if done in a league-wide context as we do here at MLS Multiplex.
However, it is natural, when covering the league, to be attracted to certain teams. I, for instance, have always had a soft spot for the underdogs, those that are smaller, either by finances or reputation, those that play in the right way, with moral principles and attractive styles.
And this season, one of those teams has been the Philadelphia Union.
