TFoA Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Dayton Dutch Lions just beat the Crew as well. Both of those teams are currently winless in their respective leagues. I'm sure TFC was an inspiration in these upsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Bucks win, only the 4th time in the MLS Era that an amateur side has knocked out a MLS side (and the second time that the Bucks have done it!)Also, there were 6 goals scored in the City Islanders-Revolution match. They all came in extra time, and the Islanders came back from 3 down to send it to penalties. What a wild night!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 MN Stars up on RSL 3-1 as well. What a night of US Open Cup play!Revs lose in PKs. City Islanders always a tough out for MLS clubs.

TFoA Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Harrisburg City Islanders win it on PKs, so there's another upset. I'm watching Sporting KC get all they can handle from Orlando City right now. Orlando dominated the 1st half, SKC took control in the 2nd but now Orlando is pushing hard for an equalizer. Crazy stuff goin on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 While not every MLS team has lost, Don Garber has to be pretty unhappy right now.

TFoA Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Charlotte Eagles are currently beating FC Dallas 1-0.

Don Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Down goes Dallas! Insanity. Only hope that Seattle goes down next. Dynamo, gone.

BigMac12 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Will the Revs and DC United ever get a soccer-specific stadium in, say, the end of the decade?Not saying that Gillette Stadium is a bad stadium, but RFK is past its prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Stars complete the upset, down RSL 3-1.Interesting to note that RSL broke the attendance record for a non-final/non-doubleheader Open Cup match. Really a shame that those fans showed up like they did, only to see a loss. But on the other hand, these upsets are awesome.And we may not be done yet: Fort Lauderdale just went up 1-0 on the Earthquakes in the 38th.

-kj Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 As part of the deal to buy the home game, RSL had a webcast of the game. There were around one hundred people at a bar in St. Paul to watch the Stars take the money and run.Not often I hope for Ft. Lauderdale to win, but c'mon Strikers! A Striker win means the next round is FtL at Minnesota....and, damn, SJ won 2-1, so the Stars have to play there next week. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

The planned stadium will be within walking distance of Nationals Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Aware Eagle Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 HUGE night for soccer tonight!I'll be watching USA-Brazil at 7:00 tonight. Then I'll be catching the online stream of Silverbacks-Sounders. Yes, I root for teams all over the place. And I apparently favor birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Cal FC (USASA) 1, Portland Timbers (MLS) 0Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest upset in United States soccer history.Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 16 MLS teams entered the 3rd round of the 2012 US Open Cup. Only 8 will even make it to the 4th round. An absolutely incredible two days of soccer in the U.S. It might be embarrassing for the MLS, but this was the jolt that this tournament needed. HUGE shot in the arm, can't remember a round of the Open Cup as crazy as this one was.Too bad the Silverbacks got throttled. EDIT: First time in the 99-year history of the competition that 2 amateur sides (Cal FC & Michigan Bucks) advanced past Round 3. Cal FC the first amateur team to defeat an MLS side w/o penalty kicks.
