The Open Cup at home:
Breaking; Absolutely wild story. Miami United players are alleged to have gone into the Hard Rock and bet on their own game in the US Cup via the betting kiosks (they won 2-0). Traders recognized it after a few bets were made and the Tribe notified the gaming commission.
And with that, 6/9 American MLS teams in

are eliminated before

even kicks off, and 8 weeks before they would have played. (Round of 32 May 7-8)
Only Houston out of that group will still play in the

Soccer in the States has come a long way in my lifetime and/but every so often you take a bracing splash of cold reality to the face. Like this: The payout for the deeply, delightfully mid, meme-rendered-incarnate Pop-Tarts Bowl... is 20 times larger than the US Open Cup final's.

Y'all. This round had EVERYTHING...Cupsets, matches in extra time, penalties, goalie penalties, so many red cards, incredible comebacks, a legit thunderbastard, dudes on bikes...
There is a burrito toss going on right now at the Oakland Roots versus El Farolito match during half time.
Usually a hot dog toss, but the Roots staff got a little festive.

Viva Underdogs | The Magic of the Cup Poster Series
With our Third Round upon us, thoughts turn to the underdogs. All those strivers of the amateur world who take aim at their so-called betters. El Farolito was founded in 1985 and stands at a crossroads of family, food and
Can confirm that Arthur Matteson has resigned as chairman of the USSF’s U.S. Open Cup committee. He said he was asked to “stand down” by higher ups on multiple occasions in terms of finding a solution as it relates to MLS participation. Says the Cup is in “grave danger”.
Y'ALL WE'VE GOT 12 GAMES TONIGHT ON OUR 2ND DAY OF FIRST-ROUND ACTION AND WE'RE HOPING FOR AS MUCH OR MORE MAYHEM AND FUN AS WE HAD LAST NIGHT -- YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE GAMES AT THE BELOW LINK(S), HERE WE GO!

Anyone betting on Miami United FC vs Club de Lyon in the second round of the Open Cup should be arrested anyways, that’s insane degeneracy even if you’re not a player

"Yeah, it's great...they play it on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and in the early rounds the draw is geographically influenced but from the Round of 16 on it's a regular bracket"
So proud of our team, our fans, this community, and everyone that works hard to make these match days such a beautiful thing.
Our first

See you all in May! 💚🏔️
