MLS teams join the US Open Cup starting tomorrow night in Round 3.

NYCFC joins in the next round. Draw for that one is on Friday (April 22). The 32 teams will be divided into 8 groups of 4 teams each based on geography. Looking at the 3rd Round matchups, we would probably be placed with the winners of (1) Hartford Athletic vs. NY Red Bulls and (2) Rochester Rhinos* vs. FC Motown (Morristown, NJ).

The 4th team is a little harder to pick. If Flower City Union (Rochester, NY) beats DC United, then they would likely be the 4th team. If not, it is harder to figure. The likely choice is New England, who, like NYCFC, joins in that round and doesn't have any teams nearby other than those already mentioned.

Games will be played on May 10-11. Citi Field would be available on the 10th, for whatever that's worth.

I respect your choice, but I prefer not to waste any time thinking "Rochester has a second lower division team?"

And neither kept the Rhinos name. Terrible decision(s).

If we play the [Rhinos] and if I go, maybe I wear my Rhinos jersey.

With Flower City fading late against DC United, it looks like our Group of 4 teams will be:
(1) NYCFC
(2) New England
(3) winner of NJ Red Bulls vs. Hartford Athletic
(4) winner of Rochester Rhinos vs. FC Motown

yes the chances for a MLS team is very high since by the time nycfc gets in thats all thats left. i know nycfc played RB twice before. When they played North Carolina, i think the other two were MLS teams in the group.

 

[Gotham Gator]

In the past, you could either draw a group with two MLS teams or three MLS teams. Because of the concentration of MLS franchises in the northeast, we always drew a group with three MLS teams. This is tough because it changes the odds that we play another MLS team from 1/3 to 2/3.

 

[FredMertz]

FC Motown being from MOrrisTOWN, NJ should be against the law.

Does the US open still offer a spot at Champions league?

Does the US open still offer a spot at Champions league?

it should, they changed rules for the past two years because us open cup didnt happen, though it was kinda BS atlanta got the spot in 2021 just because they won the cup two years earlier.

i know our players also try to get fouls with calls and actions similar to this, but man the older i get, the more i hate the flops. so much that i start to literally get annoyed and may start saying stuff when our players do it.
