Don't you guys have to play a Quarterfinal match against the Milwaukee Rampage around the same time for the US Open Cup?

F- that. Cancel it.

hehe... I don't think that's gonna happen Ben. The guys want to go back up there and get revenge for Diego.

I am neither a Wizards fan nor a big supporter of Diego, BUT what happened in the Rhino USOC game is absolutley out of bounds. Cancel the exhibition game with them, leave them holding the bag on a big gate. That's much better revenge than getting into a brawl. No MLS team should be permitted to play the Rhinos for a two year period and they should be barred from participation in the next USOC.

[Merlin172]

I'm with you on that one. But the players supposedly really want revenge.

BTW- The Rhinos have already sold 9,000 tickets.

All the more reason to leave them hanging on those ticket sales. Teach them more of a lesson.

Oh, the Wizards will go, but with the Milwaukee Open Cup game on the 24th and the Morelia Champions Cup game on the 28th, I'm not sure what kind of team we'll choose to field on the 26th.

[ojsgillt]

I say we call up the entire Pittsburg roster.

Yeah, fielding a team of absolutely nobody that was there for the USOC match will pi$$ them off more than if we just cancelled.

That is what Santos did to us, this year in the Champions Cup.
