    A lower division team loses in the Open Cup and there's a conspiracy theory? That's a new one*.










    *not actually a new one.

    Do you remember what MLS was like during the 2016 season? Neither do I.

    Let's not revisit those days- instead, learn to appreciate the upgraded and positive publicity AUFC has given the league.

    Meanwhile, amidst all the other soccer taking place these days the USOC kicks back into action. Atlanta visits Columbus for a 7 PM kickoff, while opposite that match Houston is hosting The Fighting Loons.

    Is Atlanta missing anyone besides Josef Martinez?

    Not many more fans in the stadium for the Houston game than there were for the Atlanta game last week ;)

    If Minnesota played at home, there could have been a triple-header.

    Atlanta up 1-0.

    Brandon Vazquez continues his goal scoring trend from the previous Open Cup game.

    Vazquez with his 2nd for Atlanta. 3-1

    He has 4 goals in 2 games. He may be headed for top scorer of this tournament.

    Weather (rain) delay in Columbus...

    meanwhile in Houston there is a hydration break...

    I guess technically they are both hydration breaks ;)

    With the Open Cup, what counts as a complete game? Does a full 90 have to be played?

    I think so?

    Was that Houston @ DC a while back that was the most cursed fixture ever?

    I think it went:
    Game @ Houston cancelled due to weather
    reschedule game @ DC cancelled due to weather, moved to next day
    3rd attempt at the game had like a 3 hour weather delay before the final 20 minutes

    I might be misremembering though.

    Crew players are apoplectic with the ref, at the final whistle.

    They were upset that an Accam flop in the area wasn't a free goal. But in fairness, the ref was marvelously terrible for the full 90.
