So how is this gonna go for the next round? Everyone gonna re-align their picks and go again?

I think everybody is a little demoralized after last night's massacres.

Not me. Me, the Dark Clouds, and the Minnesota stars are feeling just fine.

You get to pick the next round completely your prior picks do not determine whom you can choose from in the next round. I will get the scores updated soon.

A big congrats to Cal FC, who with the Michigan Bucks are the first amateur (or at least non-pro) teams to beat MLS teams without a shootout... (at least, according to their brand new Wikipedia page!)

That's a great accomplishment for the Bucks, too. They were also the first amateur team to knock out an MLS team, period. Like you said, though, they did it on PKs.

And it was against the Fusion, hehehe.

One more thing, there would have been a pretty interesting scenario had the Dutch Lions failed to upset the Crew. That would have put the Bucks and the Crew up against one another in the fourth round, which would have been hilarious, as the Bucks are the Crew's minor league affiliate. Would have loved to see the A-squad and reserves get it handed to them by the JV. It would also have been a bit of a rematch from the Bucks' 2006 run at the USOC, when the Crew took them out.

Make your selections for Round 4 of the USOC.
