We seem to have hurt our sister site to the north by not including them in Elite -ist these last few days. To show that it was nothing personal, we present this extra-special Elite -ist, dedicated to you, Torontoist! If you don't like it, readers? Well, blame Canada.

Okay, so you might be wondering at this point why we keep writing about the World Cup. We are well aware that the Philadelphia sports landscape rarely extends beyond the Eagles, Flyers, Phillies and 76ers unless something really weird happens (like St. Joe's going undefeated in basketball in a regular season).

Phillyist is, of course, just as patriotic as all of our other Ist brethren out there. And while we might not go crazy flouting it the way we suspect our friends at Londonist will over the next few weeks, we'll still be rooting hard for the good ol' U-S-of-A. Specifically, we'll be rooting for two players on the U.S. roster who hail from Philadelphia: Bobby Convey and Chris Albright.
