U.S. Open Cup 2018

Then US Soccer is picking favorites because they can make more money of US Open Cup games in LA than in Portland.
US Soccer officials don't even understand their own rules for the U.S. Open Cup. Which means they likely also don't understand the rules for the qualification for the CCL 2019.
Complicating the decision will be the complexity of the regulations. A series of calls to soccer officials on Thursday elicited a flurry of comments along the lines of “I don’t really fully understand the rules.”

Toronto’s 2018 campaign in a nutshell:
It’s not difficult - the rules are pretty damn clear. Portland should sue their asses if they “rule” in favor of LAFC.
Means nothing except LAFC won the game. I would not expect them to revise stuff like this every time someone files an appeal. They postponed the hosting draw. That’s what counts.
MLS is advertising that LAFC is in the next round when they aren’t. Neither team has advanced yet because there’s an appeal. That’s false advertising by MLS - they should list it as LAFC/Portland since they don’t know which will go through.
And still no one posting about Dio apparently suffering racial abuse from Portland?
Damn. I'd figure that would at least merit a post.

I mean it's the mls site, same site said we we were not in ccl, the changed post to yes, then back to no
Canadians have a reputation as among the nicest people on the planet. Fans of Toronto teams (all of them) seem to be doing their best to change that narrative.
U.S. Open Cup Delayed as Officials Try to Figure Out the Rules
Complicating the decision will be the complexity of the regulations. A series of calls to soccer officials on Thursday elicited a flurry of comments along the lines of “I don’t really fully understand the rules.”
i dont think the rules are hard to figure out. I think i read that open cup committee ( or what ever its called) is not full time job ( i doubt volunteers but probably just US Soccer staff who probably do other things there), so the may not even have the man power to verify everything in time. This is why i dont think LAFC gets kicked out, US soccer will say its my fault so get a pass.
That thing about Canadians is bullshit. They are actually wildly possessive and overbearing freaks. So I hear.
But yeah. They do often apologize for being raging, dickless morons.
Married to a Canadian, eh?
