This is peak US Open Cup. Might need someone to rip up the ref's notebook.

True, and I'd even argue we can beat Honduras so it doesn't come down to FG's bush league crap.

First half of extra time brace, at that.

Looks like the Quakes will play SKC. Hope they get the home game.

I don't think so, but you'd have to check the rules. In the other direction, Bernardez and Sarkodie took red cards against Atlanta in the league and they weren't suspended against LA on Monday in the Cup.
Main highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGG52G7wRlw
Blessing's second (cheeky back heel deflection) goal not in the first highlight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltHeq3Zbl9Y
Only carried over to the next Open Cup game(s) they would be eligible to play in. You can see the carryover list for the start of this years tournament in the hand book, page 16. The card carryover rule is on page 26: https://www.ussoccer.com/~/media/fi...up-handbook-finalists-edition-v4-05.pdf?la=en
The roster for the MLS Homegrown Game has been released:
Goalkeepers: Jesse Gonzalez (FC Dallas), Evan Louro (New York Red Bulls)
Defenders: Marco Farfan (Portland Timbers), Kortne Ford (Colorado Rapids), Justen Glad (Real Salt Lake), Auston Trusty (Philadelphia Union)
Midfielders: Tyler Adams (New York Red Bulls), Alphonso Davies (Vancouver Whitecaps FC), Derrick Etienne Jr. (New York Red Bulls), Derrick Jones (Philadelphia Union), Brooks Lennon (Real Salt Lake), Djordje Mihailovic (Chicago Fire), Paxton Pomykal (FC Dallas), Ballou Tabla (Montreal)
Forwards: Andrew Carleton (Atlanta United), Jesus Ferreira (FC Dallas), Jordan Hamilton (Toronto FC), Bradford Jamieson IV (LA Galaxy)
Notable absences for me are Nick Lima, Ian Harkes, Raheem Edwards, although the latter doesn't count as a homegrown apparently. Nice to see Davies, Hamilton, and Tabla on here though, and I think the roster is overall pretty damn good, although clearly lacking on the defensive side of things.

There is some interest. The 2015 thread got 3000+ posts. In general I think most people don't care about this year's cup since all the big teams sent weaker squads.
Didn't know there was a separate thread, just saw it now. It's an off year gold cup but I still enjoy watching the nats when the steaks aren't very high.
I enjoy watching it when there are B teams too, because it gives Canada a better chance!

This isn't fun to watch. Hope we actually try to win this one tonight.
Yea, that match should have been a shooting gallery for the US. The midfield and attack needs a revamp for the knockout stages or we won't be getting very far.

Zardes' only good touch was when he laid it for Morris on the 3rd one

Toronto signed Liechtenstein int'l RWB Nicolas Hasler
Seems to be a Beitashour replacement, at least in the interim. I trust Bez, he's made some good pickups recently (Mavinga) so I'm not worried.

Not Cornballer, but Francis is alright. Decent cover until Oyongo gets back. Very poor as an offensive full back, but relatively reliable defensively.
hey anything will do a better job than our current "let's just line up 3 defenseman instead" solution
thanks!

Mediocre player that many Quakes fans were happy to see the back of. Serviceable as a backup but I wouldn't want him as a starter. Left backs are hard to find, so hopefully the Quakes management has someone in mind.

Argh, I thought the Quakes had a good shot with a home game, but they'll have to put in a really good performance to beat SKC on the road.
EDIT:

LA played their second and third string guys, no shit they got killed.
Why the f would you put your shitty players against Man U tho, even if it is a friendly?
Dr Campino

Because they're below the red line for the playoffs and have a game that matters on Wednesday.
I'm so glad TFC doesn't do these kind of friendlies anymore.
Some guys are away for the Gold Cup, they want to rest others for the regular season. The last time RBNY was in the ICC we played RBII against pretty much everyone (including Premier League Champs Chelsea).
It's just not worth using your starters for games where the main draw is the other team, especially when you have important games that same week.
Saw that a day or two before the game they still had about 8k unsold tickets. Not a huge incentive to go all out in general.
ManU just isn't a huge draw after their last season I guess.
