CHESTER, Pa. — Major League Soccer introduced Philadelphia as its 16th team Thursday, with a gala bash in an old electrical plant on the waterfront of this city just south of Philadelphia's airport.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber said St. Louis is now at the front of the line to be team No. 17.

"I've said this many times before, and I'll say it again," Garber said. "We'd like St. Louis to be our next team. ... We want a team in St. Louis. We need teams in the Midwest."

Garber emphasized that the only impediment — "The last piece of the puzzle" — is the financial depth of Jeff Cooper's ownership group. Solve that problem, he reiterated, and St. Louis will get a team.

ST. LOUIS — Friday night at the Missouri Athletic Club, Jeff Cooper served as the keynote speaker at the annual Hermann Awards banquet, which honors the top college soccer players in the nation.

Cooper's words resonated, and I wish everyone in the local soccer community could have heard them. Much of Cooper's speech addressed the heritage, history and role that soccer plays in the St. Louis culture. Cooper is passionate about the game and dedicated to bringing a Major League Soccer expansion franchise here.
