U.S. Open Cup 2016

My tickets for us playing the Cosmos arrived in the mail today. It's official!

 

[LionNYC]

Got my tickets today too. Disappointed they didn't even say NYCFC though.

Wilmington take on RSL tonight at 10pm

 

[LionNYC]

Up 2-0, our affiliate Wilmington loses in PKs to RSL after they score two late and send the game scoreless past extra time. Wilmington did terribly on their PKs only scoring one, one was saved, and two went over the crossbar.

What a difference a year makes as Chris Wingert, yes that same Chris Wingert scored the winning PK to send RSL to the 5th round of the US Open Cup.

Hopefully we fair better tomorrow, well, today.

Minnesota bossing this game late against SKC starters.

SKC is a mess.

 

[Ulrich]

DC didn't take the game seriously either by playing scrubs and lost in PKs.

How awesome would it be if the Strikers beat Orlando City on June 29th?

Burn it!

If anyone is still watching, it was the perfect night for NYCFC:
- The Red Bulls lost, fielding their starters less Robles to Philadelphia 2-1. Although the match didn't go into extra time, it's still a benefit for us.
- New England beat the Cosmos 3-2. Kei Kamara got his first goal for the Revs.

VERY AWESOME INDEED!

The Semifinals are starting. Chicago is at New England tonight. Dallas is at LA tomorrow night. Both games are on ESPN2.

I am rooting for Chicago tonight, and not just because it would be amusing to see the worst team in the league make the finals of a knockout tournament. We play Chicago two nights after the Open Cup final, so it would be nice to have that advantage (assuming the league doesn't reschedule).

They better not reschedule if we had to play two days after the Allstar game.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did, but that is scheduled to be a national game on Unimas, so my bet is that they don't.

Not on a mainstream network at least. I'm pretty sure I remember the old Fox Soccer Channel airing the semi's, but that was only in like 25m households with many not even in HD. I think ESPN may have experimented with airing the tournament in the early days of the league, but not sure.
