So it's just an MLS knockout tournament featuring Ft. Lauderdale and the Cosmos? Lame.
Uhhh this is how most knockout tournaments around the world go: the teams from the top division end up taking almost all of the spots in the later rounds.

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.

We need PDX to play SEA again for the sideshow.

The best part about that is that they have a league game two days before, also in Portland.

This is usually true, but they'll be playing at Belson Stadium in Queens for the Open Cup, and have played a few games at MCU Park in Brooklyn (including the NASL final last year, IIRC).

Fan behavior forced Hofstra to ban USOC matches at Shuart

quote:

“The issue we are facing is we have been told by Hofstra that we cannot host any MLS teams in the Open Cup at Shuart Stadium,” Stover said.

The reason for the University’s decision isn’t due to a congested schedule. Rather, fan altercations in past matches are at the heart of this ban.

“This stems from some security issues and altercations, fan behavior over the last couple of years of matches we have hosted there,” Stover revealed. “We spent time trying to change their mind of that decision. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to do that.”

LA at home is the best possible pairing for Portland thanks to Il Bruce's lack of USOC fucks to give. It's obviously not a sure thing, but I'd much rather play them than RSL or Seattle.

Also, I'm a little shocked at possible 3 home USOC matches. Looks like the coin finally flipped our way.

You missed a party then. Tons of stupid capture the flag bullshit, guy getting popped in the mouth, lots of skirmishes

Basically there's a subset of NYCFC people who are idiots that everybody hates, and the Cosmos folks fight back.

Seattle's starting XI looks like total poo poo, so I expect RSL to win by 3 goals...or Seattle's going to 2013 DC this competition (with a rather poo poo season instead of a historically lovely season).

Either way, I won't be able to watch.

Shitposting in Seattle

Somehow the Sounders USL team (Plus some Bench Players) managed to win on PK's against RSL's first team sans Rimando. Our backup goalie Tyler Miller killed it and made 8 saves to keep us in the game and blocked two penalties to win it and somehow broke the curse of the Olympic White jerseys.

I watched the game from the 70th to 100th minute, and there was no way Seattle should have won that.

Union came back from a horrific first half to win 2-1. New York's coach was a pissy little baby, getting ejected near the end and slamming two soccer balls at Jim Curtins' feet on his way off the pitch.
