    a quick question: http://www.eufootball.biz/Clubs/6871-barcelona_philadelphia_mls_franchise.html

    in this article (and others ive read but i cant recall any other specific ones) it says that our team still owes $35 million of the expansion fee, but wasnt the total fee supposed to be on $30 mil? does the extra $5 mil come from interest on a loan taken out to pay the expansion fee? if not why do we owe $35 mil?

    I imagine they're all just plagarizing the original (incorrect) article.

    Sorry Dills, but I must. You just can't quote yourself, regardless of how brilliant the original comment is.

    We're getting a soccer team?!? HOORAY!!! What do you think we should name it, anyway? I've always liked European sounding names myself. Have you ever seen that English side from Charlton?

    Soccer will never work here and no county would be stupid enough to even consider putting money into a league that will fold in a few years.

    I hope Barca stays away from MLS Philly. Reading that BILLIONAIRE Jay Sugarman lost $38 million doesn't really disturb me like it used to.

    The original article referred to Comcast. Does two constitute a string?

    Humor: Barcelona-inspired Team Name

    Because we've had a poll drought as of late, what would/should the team be named if Barcelona has a say in it?

    :p
