MLS football.

New York doesn't have a club in the traditional sense โ€” it has tribes. Chelsea fans at Flannery's at 7:30AM, Arsenal faithful at The Pint, Liverpool supporters packed into Banter Bar in Brooklyn. A hundred flags, a hundred accents, one game. When a big match kicks off, this city doesn't sleep.
