US Open Cup 2017

Ran across highlights late last night on Sportscenter (not included in these was the procession of Cincinnati fans heading into the stadium,which was awesome). Fantastic atmosphere and a great win over Chicago. They will play Miami (who upset Atlanta) in the quarterfinals guaranteeing someone's Cinderella run ain't over.

I watched the Chicago-Cincy match from about the 54th minute and thought the right team won.

 

Come on you Quakes!!!!

 

A fitting result for FC Cincinnati since they were arguably robbed of the winning goal due to a poor offsides call.

 

And a penalty for a handball.

 

My daughter went. It was electric. Hate to say it, but they deserve an MLS team pretty much before anybody else right now, including Louisville.

 

It's going to be a sold out house again tonight in Cincinnati as Cinderella is one win over the NY Energy Drinks from the Final (Sporting KC is awaiting the winner).

 

Great run by FC Cincinnati. Bradley Wright-Phillips is a superstar. No shame in losing to his team.

 

Wish the Final tonight (6 pm pst, espn2) had Cincinnati in it. However, the clock struck 12 and it's Sporting KC hosting the NY Energy Drinks. KC has the 'the Lamar Hunt Trophy belongs only here' attititude as they are going for their 4th US Open Cup. New York has never won a trophy in their history and the above mentioned Bradley Wright Phillips will need to be on his game.
