Greetings from the pastoral Maryland SoccerPlex, set in Boyds, MD. The Fort Lauderdale Strikers cheated their way here by starting their Third Round match at the crack of dawn, and their reward is a thousand extra feet of sea level to face a DC United squad starting a man that could die at any moment and a literal teenager they signed on Monday.

There's so few people there I think I could pick you out of the crowd. Also lol @ starting a literal high school junior.

Adu has not suited up for a Rowdies NASL or US Open Cup match this year - not just is he not a starter, he's not even on the bench. Fortunately they are paying him next to nothing.

Lightning delay for both the Columbus and Carolina matches; Rowdies getting blown out but Revs still 0-0. So I still have at least one dog in this fight.

Would NASL teams be doing better if they weren't exhausted from finishing their season this weekend? Or would MLS teams have taken it more seriously and started better lineups?

Also it looks like the OKC Energy are taking FC Dallas to extra time, wow!

In addition to just finishing the NASL spring season, the MLS teams are just coming off of a two week break for Copa America. So, I assume that the MLS teams are not only well rested but can play their better players if needed, due to the time off? Just speculating.

I feel bad for the Ralph's Mobsters who drove 16 hours last night/this morning/this afternoon to be at the game in Columbus Ohio. Long drive for a pretty bad performance.

What a trash fire DC is. Literal teenager, health risk, and putting Mancini out on the field like he's any good at all. We've punted this cup for three years in a row now, even though winning the cup saved Olsen and revitalized this team.

If I could get a refund for my season tickets, I would.

Indy had a ton of fans at Toyota Park last night. It was really cool to see.

Glad we beat their team, though. Losing to a lower division side is about the only way the Fire can sink any lower without just folding like the Mutiny.

After the second pk from Indy, the player was being a little ridiculous in hyping himself for hitting the back of the net and some guy near me yells "yea!? well you still live in Indiana rear end in a top hat!". Couldn't help but laugh my rear end off.

LA/PDX and SEA/RSL should be fun to watch, especially because then winners will then play each other. All 4 teams usually play very hard against each other, so any combination there will be great.

And even though they'll probably both lose this round, I'd love to see the Cosmos and Strikers make it to the semi-finals.
