I’d really prefer to see brackets.
Also, in Cosmos B and Miami FC 2 really their first teams folded into their B teams so they can play in a league and USOC?

yes...however i think in the cosmos case they lost players already as they went to USL teams i think ( i dont know if they were starters or not etc) so i dont know how strong they are. Since the game is very early in May all the college kids may not be there for the brooklyn italians ( i assume they use some at least since NPSL is amateur) so cosmos can win.
If anyone cares the cosmos were eliminated in the play in game vs brooklyn italians
they were the only "NASL" team eliminated...miami and jacksonville advanced

Fun Fact!
Brooklyn Italians have actually won two U.S. Open Cups (1979 and 1991) and have made the final two more times.

im actually very happy that the open cup media team is doing lots of these mini docs on these teams...there is lots of history to cover that no one ever covered not even in a book or something.
Is there a bracket for the Cup posted anywhere? Curious which advancing winners could end up being our eventual opponent.
All I could find is this, and it doesn't break down possible advancement: https://www.ussoccer.com/lamar-hunt-us-open-cup/2018-us-open-cup-schedule
there is no "bracket" per se yet....apparently there will be draw for us when we come in and i think then a bracket will start to take shape
only rd.1 and potential rd 2 matchups with USL teams are set for now.
There are geographic groupings after each round, so it depends on who gets through. When we enter we’ll be in a group of 4 teams based on geography with either 1 or 2 third round winners. We can probably assume that YouKnowWho that just kicked our ass is one of the 1 or 2 other MLS clubs in that group of 4.
ETA that they can’t be grouped with their U-23 until the final. So it’s also possible we end in an Eastern group with RB U-23 should they get through instead, and if we ever lose to them with our varsity then I fucking give up.
Yep. Here is what the U.S. Open Handbook says about the round when the MLS teams enter.
Fourth Round (12 Third Round winners and 20 Division I clubs): After the completion of the Third Round, the teams in the Fourth Round will be pooled and divided geographically into eight groups of four, with four groups having one Third Round winner and four groups having two, with any teams who are precluded from playing each other until the Final being placed in different groups. A random draw, scheduled for May 24, will determine the pairings within each group, with all Third Round winners paired to face a Division I team and not another Third Round winner.
A few takeaways.
- Since Red Bulls and Red Bulls U-23 cannot be in the same group of 4, we can be in a group with one of them but not both.
- 12 MLS Clubs will face a lower division team in the 4th round, and 8 will face another MLS team, so our generic odds are 60-40 in favor of having a lower division team in that round.
- USL teams enter in the next round (2nd round). There are 22 of them, and they will enter the pool against the 26 first round winners. The winners of those games will then face off in the 12 3rd round games.
- Our game will either be June 4 or 5, after our June 2 game against Orlando and before we play Atlanta on June 9. Perfect.
I’m pretty sure that is exactly how it will work. I believe they have to win 2 games to have a shot at a MLS club. Geographically I bet they would draw the Revs unless another lower div New England team advances.
I'd be really happy either way if they can get that far. If they hosted the Revs I could without reservation support my actual Home Town team. If they were to ever host us I could hopefully meet up with some of you after you guys have to do the commute to the game to see NYC for a change
