Alejandro Bedoya, the U.S. national team midfielder and recent addition to the Union, answered a question with a question Tuesday as to why he has surfaced with Philadelphia's Major League Soccer team.
When asked why Philadelphia, the 29-year-old Bedoya replied, "Why not?"
That drew appropriate laughter, but Bedoya got serious. He had played his entire professional career in Europe, and the product of Englewood, N.J., wanted to come home.
"I wanted to be able to be back in the states. I've always had that, always wanted to be a part of the MLS, and I thought Philly was probably for me the best fit with everything that they're doing, what they're putting in place here," Bedoya said during a morning press conference at Talen Energy Stadium.
