NYCFC to Play at NJ Red Bulls in U.S. Open Cup

[QuigrNYCFC]

This will be a pretty marquee match-up for the USOC. I imagine they'll PR the crap out of this.

the only other match up is seattle vs portland....but they tend to play that at starfire complex not at century link

I'm assuming this will be played at RBA?

Btw, absolutely no mention whatsoever on the NYCFC front page, nor the RBNY website. I guess that's a good indication of how much the clubs intend to hype/promote this match.

In the past, RB have played their home games at at RBA

Oh and that's flag day. TIFO anyone?

Do RB season ticket holders get the US Open Cup as part of their package?

I know US Open cups generally draw a pitiful crowd, but could be a chance for NYCFC fans to make a ruckus because we know RBNJ fans aren't showing up for this one.

Yes, they get tickets to every round I believe.

RBNJ fans aren't showing up for anything.

FTFY

Hey Intern,

US Open Cup tickets are cheap. Why don't the front office buy like 1000 tickets for fans? Let's fill more fans in blue than those in red at this game in their building.

That's probably the profit from five-ten kegs of beer at yankee stadium. The team really should start throwing fans a bone after some of the shitshows we've endured.

I understand why they do it but I hate the regional format of this tournament wouldn't it be a lot more exciting if say one year you ended up with Sounders-Timbers and Us V the scum in the semis instead of the first round ?

I want to buy supporter toickets. How do

For the record, I think we will have Callens. But he has been called up in the past to the Peru national team, and Transfermarkt listed him on the bench for their last WCQ though I can't remember that actually happening.

Herrera is obviously playing great for us now, we'll see if his U20 performance earns him a call up to their senior national team for their WCQs.

The others I expect to be gone.

Well, there's also the argument that Venezuela is just playing out dead rubber matches, so he should stay with us.

But good look keeping a 20 year old out of matches in CONMEBOL that would showcase strong performances against elite league level talent.

So...

Given no: Matarrita, Wallace, Ring, Chanot, Herrera, and Callens

---Harrison--Villa--Lewis---------
-------------Maxi--Pirlo--------------
----------------Lopez------------------
--Allen--Sewat---White--Gomez--
----------------Johnson----------------

Bench: Johanson, McNamara, Stertzer, Awuah, Shelton, Okoli, Camargo

That would literally mean the only player not in the lineup aside from international absences (and loans, Mena) would be Rawls

What's the rule about how many internationals each team can field in the Open Cup?

I think it is five but am too lazy to look it up.

Am I the only one who doesn't like this "derby"? Does no one else see how fake and manufactured this rivalry is?

the 7-0 , our record against them. the celebrations in locker rooms after the games. The heavy tackling......jesse marsch feeling offended about villa's comments....and the fan scuffles outside games.....if it wasnt a rivalry before the first game it is now.

EDIT: red bull will always show up for this game even if they are playing like shit.....the still feel like "new york name" is being taken away from them

Yes, teams are allowed five players that are not U.S. citizens or green card holders.
