— When Playing It Out of the Back Goes Wrong (@wpiootbgw) May 11, 2022
2022 U.S. Open Cup
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Definitely worth posting, but
- Does a throw-in near your own end line constitute playing out of the back?
- What's makes this a trifecta?
- Good for him, but I still am surprised Khiry Shelton remains in MLS.
- For those who subscribe to this account, the vagaries of what constitutes playing it out of the back reaches talmudic levels.
- There were other examples in the same game, which is rare.
- He's a perfectly good backup striker.
If you like ASA's Goals Added metric, Khiry is dead last in MLS (across all positions) at -1.56
. @CharlotteFC will play its Rd of 16 U.S. Open Cup match against NY Red Bulls on the road...at Montclair State in New Jersey.

If they win, they'll host NYCFC/NE Revolution winner at Bank of America Stadium.
Lol red bulls trying to play away to increase their chances
i suspected this would happen, i think the same happened in 2019. i wonder if we had to play them if they would of still played there or open up RBA.
Edit: i think red bulls still win but charlotte have been doing alright.
I think it would be RBA. I saw on Twitter that they have to play somewhere else as there was already a community college graduation planned for RBA during the timeframe for this upcoming game.
Out of context, it’s kinda funny that they are kicked out of their own stadium

"Us hosting HCCC graduation is part of our community obligations as part of our stadium agreement"
right i forgot the stadium is owned by the county now.
“Us hosting the New York Yankees is part of our community obligations as part of our stadium agreement”
The RBNJ blog site (once a metro) spins this as the Red Bulls wanting to play at a smaller stadium because it’s the open Cup, uhhhh that’s not what happened here. They got kicked out of their stadium (which they laud over the fans across the river) because the community actually owns it, not RBNJ.

This is an outstanding finish by a third division player.
What a moment and accomplishment for Sacramento.
Semifinals. Another chance for Union Omaha tonight against SKC.
