MLS Commissioner Don Garber didn’t say a lot about expansion but what he did say was very telling.
First, he said that the race to land the next expansion team was indeed a two city event between Philadelphia and St. Louis, meaning that even if Miami moves ahead on their stadium idea or if Montreal pulls together their group, they are non-factors. Second, he said “If Philadelphia is able to finalize their plan, they have been leading the charge and have a step ahead of St. Louis.” So if both team are equal, Philadelphia will get the nod.
The idea that Philadelphia is the more desired of the two cities should not come as a big surprise as they are a bigger market and is the last major city along the Northern East Coast without a team.

Facing a quick turnaround with his body clock all out of whack, Hewitt returned to Rod Laver Arena with concerns about his ability to recover from his epic four-and-three-quarter-hour battle with Marcos Baghdatis as debate continued to rage over whether Open officials should have even sent him on court 11 minutes before midnight Saturday.
