This includes matches versus CHI/MIA in 1998, CHV/RSL in 2005, TOR in 2007, SJ in 2008, SEA in 2009, and PHI this season (2010).
Note that SJ, while a returning franchise, was still considered an expansion team in 2008 whereas Houston in 2006 was not.
Eight teams still have to play another match vs Philadelphia this season. They are CHI-CHV-CLB-COL-HOU-LA-NY-SJ.
This only takes into account regular season meetings. Like always, shootouts are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by PPG.

- Chicago's only loss was to Toronto, which was their first ever win, at BMO field.
- Chivas went 2-2 against RSL, but haven't lost since then. So that's 9 straight matches unbeaten against expansion teams, which is tied for the longest streak in league history (LA 2005-08). The Fire also currently have a 7 game streak.
- The only teams to get at least one win in each expansion season that they played in are KC-SEA-SJ-TB (Chivas can join them with a win on 9/25). That's especially impressive for the Wizards, since they're the only one of those teams to get a chance to play against every expansion team. In fact, they're also the only team to beat every single expansion team.
- On the flip side, four other teams have lost at least once in each expansion season they played in. They are HOU-SEA-TB-TOR . Colorado can join them with a loss on 9/29 (though they haven't lost to every expansion team; they were unbeaten against Chivas).
- The Rapids currently have a 5 game winless streak vs expansion teams. That's only matched by Dallas (2008-10), whose 5 game streak was broken in the recent 3-1 win over the Union.
