2015 U. S. Open Cup

[Seth]

I am in Section 27, right below the supporters.

Pretty sure that's one of our sections. 25, 26, 27, and above those 25A, 26A, 27A.

All the lower-left blue ones are us.

NYC needs to put as much pressure on the USOC then MLS right now. Were not gonna win the MLS cup, but winning the USOC is deffinetely possible

Results for MLS teams last night but what happened to Seattle:

[...] Brad Evans was sent off minutes later after picking up his second yellow for a tackle on Portland’s Jorge Villafana. [...] Seattle took another hit when Martins went down with an injury and had to be carried off the field on a stretcher, leaving the Sounders with nine men in extra time. [...] The contest deteriorated late, with Micheal Azira and Clint Dempsey each being shown red by referee Daniel Radford, forcing the Sounders to finish the game with seven players.​

Dempseys red was for grabbing the referee's card out of his pocket, then ripping it up.

I kind of thought you were joking....

Seattle going out knocks off the biggest obstacle to our winning the cup.

They were our toughest competition.
If we ever get to that point.
Let's win tonight.

I love what he can do with the ball, but he is a total dick. Flopping, constantly whining to the ref and the opponent...

Wow, that was dick move by Dempsey. How professional.

Sucks that Martins had to be carted off and according to what I just read on mlssoccer.com, Loyd Sam got hurt last night too.

The night, however, was not wholly positive as Sam suffered injuries to his groin and ankle early on, forcing the winger out of the match in the 23rd minute.

This is why MLS views these early round matches as the pita they are. I'm going to be awfully disappointed if Villa and Mix are anywhere near Nassau County tonight.

Fucking Hilarious!!! I can only hope the clown running our twitter page can be this funny.

I'd say everyone should start calling him Clint Idiotface, but I do believe that name has already been taken.......

Everyone all over Reddit has had this attitude as well. I don't see what's funny about this. Dempsey was a huge dick and deserves whatever suspension he gets.

I can't believe Seattle would allow their social media accounts to act giddy about this.

I dunno about everyone - here's the top coments for the two threrads on /r/MLS

Man, it seriously pisses me off that people are praising Dempsey for this.

As a referee, you are CONSTANTLY being harassed by players, coaches and fans. At the professional level, you're then torn apart online for every perceived mistake you make.

This is LITERALLY assault on a referee as defined by the Laws. It's disgusting to me that the message the majority are choosing to send is that it's okay because it was funny, or just a cup game, or whatever. A league star assaulting and humiliating a referee and then getting praised for it is bullshit and an embarassment to this community.

http://www.reddit.com/r/MLS/comments/3a5swx/technically_dempsey_should_get_a_3_month_ban/

This is the man who's captaining our Men's team, right? Completely childish and deserves to be banned.

 

[LostAnvil]

The ref had to be escorted out by police

I guess I missed the part where this tweet directly referenced Dempsey's actions.

Yeah it seems like a general response to the whole mess off a game

Mandatory 3-month ban.

(1) The person committing the referee assault must be suspended as follows:
(a) for a minor or slight touching of the referee or the referee's uniform or personal property, at least 3 months from the time of the assault

(2) A State Association adjudicating the matter may not provide shorter period of suspension but, if circumstances warrant, may provide a longer period of suspension.
