not me....losing to them twice already....i feel we must get that win as a first step en route to a run in the cup
We obviously beat them after that.
damn i just realized that the cosmos have to play two games before they even potentially play us....not one game like previous years...NASL/USL div 2 really screwed NASL teams in this
Well they shouldn't have even been let into the tournament technically, so I'd say they've come out quite well on this.
yes i recall that in 2010? ( whenever that USSF DIV 2 thing happened) they were not allowed in since the sanctioning did not take place in time.
is that what it was? something about sanctioning which was caused some teams to miss the cup
I'm not certain on this, but this isn't what I was referring to. I was referring to someone bringing up earlier on this board somewhere else that there was a deadline to have a schedule published for NASL in order for them to compete in the US Open Cup. NASL did not release their schedule in time, and thus, none of the teams should have been eligible for the US Open Cup.
I'll do a little bit more digging if I can find the info on this, but I do remember reading that on this board.
Looking forward to this. This tournament is underrated.
First game could be played at Coney Island too which would be fun to see.

Also much more important this season since it's the only way to qualify for CCL other than winning the MLS Cup (also referred to as the World Cup in the Midwest).
Nope. Because of the change of format only MLS Cup and USOC winners for the next 2 years will qualify*.
*unless a Canadian team wins the MLS Cup. Then it's assumed the SS winner or highest non-Canadian team in the SS race will go through.
This is actually pretty great news. It makes the Open Cup more important.
Hope we do better than that brutal game at Fordham last year.
Oh, here it is. Earlier in this thread from you yourself,Fantazma haha.
lol yes this i was aware.....i was referring to 2010 since i cant remember that and didnt feel like digging for it.
I know technically none of the NASL teams needed to be in this but USSF is always iffy with these rules.....i mean RGV Toros cant play but Reno 1866 can even though they are both affiliates.
EDIT: I meant they are both Hybrid teams
