It was a long time coming.
The past eight months have been horrible for Philadelphia Union fans. A winless streak that was approaching the ignominy of MLS all-time winless streaks does a lot to a fan. It stops being fun to watch the team find new and creative ways to not win, be it a David Villa golazo that we will literally never stop seeing or giving up three unanswered goals to Montreal. It wears on you.
Last Saturday felt good. It was cathartic. It re-instilled pride in the team. As Jim Curtin said in the post-game press conference
“I wanna thank our fans, the ones who have stuck with us through this time.
