    AKA @joelrip 's Excellent Adventure

    Soooo, the above says 8:00 pm PT, while the club's website says 7:00 PM. I guess it's 8:00 pm MT, 7:00 pm PT. They don't make these mistakes in MLS.

    If only we can get them into a penalty-kick shootout and somehow Newton comes up big.

    I like the scoreline so far. I don't like the commentators, who are the most ridiculous homers I've seen in a long long time. Two-footed, studs-up tackle by a Monarchs player: "I'm not sure there was anything there."

    Damn, son. Got any other successful predictions you'd like to lay on us? Perhaps some SuperLotto numbers?

    I jumped up and down and ran around the room.

    It's been so long since I've had any genuinely good soccer news.

    Damn that felt good.

    Onward!

    Well. I'll be damned. I know I said we'd have to get to penalties and have Newton come up big but I didn't think he'd do it!

    Next up: Still TBD

    Phoenix & Swope Park played a scoreless first half, then a lightening storm struck with heavy rain. The game was suspended and will resume this afternoon.

    OKC upset Reno 1-0 to advance to San Antonio, winners over Tulsa.

    Apparently, we play in a D2 league that has D4 decision-makers.

    I’ll agree with you if “D4” is code for “dumb-ass”

    I like Sac but if they do this, USL a joke. Regular season means nothing.

    After working with all parties, the Swope Park Rangers and USL agreed Saturday’s playoff contest, and future contests in the 2017 USL Cup Playoffs, would be held at Children’s Mercy Park, one of the finest venues in Major League Soccer.

    The League would like to thank the ownership and the executive teams of both the Swope Park Rangers and Sacramento Republic FC for their professionalism and commitment to the game. The USL sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience caused to the supporters of the Swope Park Rangers and Sacramento Republic FC, and to the players and partners of both organizations.

    We look forward to the upcoming Western Conference Semifinal at Children’s Mercy Park and to the remainder of the 2017 USL Cup Playoffs.
