THE SONS OF BEN (as in Franklin), a group of MLS fans in Philadelphia, have all the accessories: a website, embroidered scarves and outings to games. But they have no team. The group formed in January to lobby for a club in Philly; they've made do by making a racket at other MLS games. Co-founder Bryan James's message to MLS: We're "waiting for you."
