While the Philadelphia Union don’t have a major rivalry like some of the other teams in Major League Soccer, there is an interstate highway (I-95) that connects them to four other teams in the Northeast (and three teams now in the Southeast). The proximity of the New York teams, New England and D.C. United make it easy for travel to away games and generally speaking these are the teams we see most in a season both in league and Open Cup play.
I caught up with my colleagues at the websites that cover the other four teams in the region to get their thoughts on the Philadelphia Union.
