Roll the Union on!

For those all-important end-of-season MLS matches, a catchy, classic Union song, suggested by BroadStHooligans.  

When Chester met Rochester

We've been busy, but must note that the Independence ended their second WPS season in eerily similar circumstances to their first: second in the league to a Marta-led team. 

Wait til next year

Run the World (Ladies)!

A huge shout-out to the ladies of the Philadelphia Independence as they play Saturday against Jack-in-the-Box  Magic: The Gathering  Magic Johnson magicJack of Boca Raton* in the Womens' Pro Soccer league semi-finals (4 PM at PPL Park).

The Son(g)s of Ben

Songs for the Second Half

Before the long, hot summer of 2011 gets any hotter, we attempt to calm the waters with two reader song suggestions.  First: reader Tim P.  writes with a Roger Torres song. Take it away, Tim!

Another opportunity to treat Dwayne De Rosario with the respect he deserves...

Gaga for Mwanga

A new Danny Mwanga chant was mentioned on BigSoccer.com after the Toronto FC game spanking, but partial credit must go to Typhoon29, who wrote way back on March 12, 2010: 

Coming Back!

Philly fans know adversity, first-hand. Reader Ryan C. writes with a song suggestion for tough times:

Post-Match Analysis/Haiku of the Week

This week, we're delighted to feature the triumphant return of special guest, Joey from Pennsauken.  Joey sits in PPL Section 129.

Joey

旅に病んで
夢は枯野を
かけ廻る

Ill on my travels,

My dreams do wander about.

¡Golazo Ruiz!

Thanks, Joey!

Chicago Fire Song Sheet (Saturday, May 21, 2011)

The Sons of Ben song sheet for tomorrow's match, graciously provided by SoB singing-master Chris H., shown below:

Gameday preparations

Faithful to the End!

A different marching song:

Brava!

Congratulations...

Shake, Rattle & Roll

We've been busy, and the April 30 San Jose Earthquakes Sons of Ben song sheet was OBE (overtaken by events).  Our apologies to SoB song-master Chris H., shown below:

Delivering the Song Sheet

A City of Readers

Not a song, but certainly a good idea!  

Behind the Music: "Mahna Mahna" ("The Sons of Ben")

Before there were the Sons of Ben, even before there were the Muppets, there was Mah Na Mah Na.

Let The River Run!

PhillySongs.net began its run one year ago today. Thank you for your support, your song lyrics and suggestions, but most of all for learning the songs and singing them on game day! 

Frere Seba

With the Union's offense conspicuous by its absence, reader Billy B. writes with a helpful song suggestion: 

Make it Quick!

Quick Stadium* at Widener University is the place to find the Independence this Sunday at 6 PM; their home opener against the Boston Breakers is a Fox Soccer Channel match of the week. Come on, you ladies in gray!

Shiver me Timbers!

Time flies! Two years ago, the Philadelphia Union name was announced, one year ago the Union were playing everywhere but Philadelphia, and tomorrow los Zolos visit that new MLS team, the Timbers of Timberland Portland, Oregon.
