Daily News | The best Philly sports stories of the week
Were you on vacation this week? Out enjoying the warm weather rather than sitting by your computer? Or maybe there were more important things going on in your life than scrolling through Twitter or browsing your favorite sites to get the latest sports news. And you know what, we don’t blame you.
For the first time since 1994, the men’s World Cup is returning to the United States, which will co-host the event with Mexico and Canada. And for the first time ever, Philadelphia will be one of the host cities, which is appropriate considering the tournament will coincide with the nation’s 250th birthday.
Among them was Union captain Alejandro Bedoya, who played for the United States at the 2014 men’s World Cup. Some of his current and former colleagues — including Pulisic, Downingtown’s Zack Steffen, and Medford’s Brenden and Paxten Aaronson — could play in the 2026 tournament. Pulisic, Steffen, and Brenden Aaronson are on course to play in this fall’s edition in Qatar, and they star for some of the world’s most famous club teams.
