Once again, we are in a regional group that has 3 MLS teams and one USL team. It will be this way every year since the US Open Cup doesn't seem to want to balance that out.
U.S. Open Cup 2019
- Thread starter Fantazma
- Start date
red bulls it is then. ( well find out in like 15mins)
EDIT: I also think they do this to guarantee USL goes against a MLS team, which is something i think they push for anyway.
still up in the air, we lost to cosmos twice same level ( on paper) as North Carolina
Our best chance to win a USOC match since we were founded. Let’s not screw this up!
Our roster was not even close to as deep with green card holders the years we lost to the cosmos.
Right. I'm pinning my hopes on that being down to us still being a young team, not yet fully formed........
id say since the cosmos games, both were winnable ( we were winning the first had control then kresi fucked it up)
fair, just that the mental block this team has throughout the years freaking surprises me
See my response to your pessimism above. USL may be a bit better these days. But our roster is night and day compared to years 1 & 2.
Potentially we will be missing Johnson, Matarrita, and Parks for international duty. I didn't look up all the specific dates but I think they are all gone barring super fast tournament exits. Also Ofori but no green card so not relevant here.
true, just that i really want barraza instead of stuver in goal. with stuver i already know its two goal minimum with him
We can put 5 non-domestic players in the 18 for a US Open Cup game. We have exactly that many on the entire team. So, the whole roster is available to us for these games (other than guys hurt or off on international duty).
That first Kosmos match was won until Kreis’ birthday present substitution.
