It's common knowledge that Philly fans are nuts. They even take pride in that fact. But this may officially be going too far.Philly has it's own soccer firm, known as the Sons of Ben. They're exactly like European firms, in that they're violence-prone, swear like it's their job, are frequently drunk, and have poor oral hygiene. But there's one small problem.....they have no team.

So hop to it Philly and get yourself a team. I can't wait to start posting about people smashing beers on each others heads while calling you all bloody wankers.
