Q: How seriously does any MLS team take the LH Open Cup? Like, here we are in the "Sweet 16," so do we try to win this thing, or what?

I bet they wait until the final 4 to really give a crap. I watched the Railhawks beat LA Galaxy the other night. It was great to cheer for the underdog, even though LA was short all of the big names.

I went to the SKC v. Chicago Fire Gold Cup Match last year. Chicago didn't have names on their jerseys. I later found out that it was basically their practice squad. crowd was so small that they closed 75% of Livestrong and packed everybody into the west side of the stadium.

US open cup is prettty low. They used to play the Open Cup games at Blue Valley Northwest if that tells you anything.

Seattle takes it serious the entire time, other clubs don't really field their "A Squad" until the semi finals.

Similar to the Carling Cup if you follow English Soccer/Football

Going to the game tonight. Tips? How bad will we smash these denver rapids guys?

scottwildcat · « **Reply #432 on:** June 05, 2012, 10:33:23 PM »

good win in the USOC for Sporting. Hopefully we don't lose to some lesser division losers in the next round

AbeFroman · « **Reply #433 on:** June 05, 2012, 10:41:06 PM »

Was colorado playing many starters? I know we were for the most part, but I don't know much about other teams players

Refs were exceptionally bad tonight, the old guy next to me let the f bombs flow

I enjoyed the game. I didn't realize they hit it with their heads so much.

The chant I liked the most was the chant during the "corner kicks." Very catchy.

20,488 on Saturday. Largest crowd so far this season at LSP

watched on TV. seemed like lots of empty seats on the East side.

Fun game.

Seems like we could really use both Beasler and Kamara back asap, though.

Also, why was convey not playing rather than peterson?

Convey has an nagging injury I'm pretty sure. I wanna say it's his back, but I don't know.

I think he twisted his rear hair-flopper

I was there and there were a few empty seats but not many.

played w/ half of our starters out.

That was probably the most exciting MLS game I've seen. Really good attacking play from both teams. Probably should have won, but a point up there isn't the worst result.

Saad has to be really wishing he spotted that one a little differently.

Also, that game was very JYC on both sides. Espinoza and Colin simply don't give a eff and I love them for it.

mocat · « **Reply #447 on:** June 22, 2012, 08:33:24 AM »

Yeah Espinoza is a fantastic JYC. Well put.

OT: it's really amazingly way more fun than it should be to yell "RODGAHZ!" whenever Espinoza touches the ball, in the discount double check voice
