I don't understand this mentality. For NASL/USL-PRO teams, sure. This is a cap to their season until fall kicks back in. It also helps a team's recognition in the miniscule US soccer market; however, MLS teams kicking on glorified college teams for a piece of molded metal with Lamar Hunt's name on it isn't something to shoot for mid-season. Especially during a world cup break. If your team is (un)lucky enough to not lose key players to international call ups, than rest/rehab/train for regular season games.

I'm guessing it's largely for hype or whatever, but the storyline of "So many upsets!" is laughable considering half of the people on the field are there trying to fight for first team minutes down the road. I hope there will never be a day when the Crew resort to "gently caress it" mode and just shoot for the shameful monument to Lamar Hunt. That's what happens when you get a listless three win D.C. United team only striving for a meaningless trophy.

Also, my pops is fine. He needed a hip replacement. :corsair:

Lucky bastard gets to spend the entire World Cup off work to recover. Thanks for the sentiment, though.

It's just a tradition for Chicago. Some teams and fanbases care about it more than others. :shrug:

And a domestic cup is a domestic cup.

Kickoff should be coming in Bridgeview momentarily.

I forgot LA was still in this. When Los Dos went out, I stopped paying attention. I hope Hoffman and Zardes score a million goals.

Chicago up 1-0 after a period of sustained pressure. Grant Ward with (I think) his first Fire goal 20 minutes in.

That did not look like the ball at all crossed the line for the Pittsburgh goal. Might have been a bad call.

At 50', PSA recorded their first shot (and it was on goal too!)

And Kenny Cooper with the worst-looking bicycle kick goal. 4-0 Sounders.

It's not a true USOC game until we have an awkward white man bicycle kick. Good work Cooper.

Delays in Chicago again. It looks like the match will probably be called off, which would mean the Fire win.
