I don't know if I "love" the Cup. I love what it could be though if more teams cared about it. I do love that they'll play a round on the weekend since that weekend opened up due to MLS being on break for the WC. I do love that it extremely and purposefully regional now. I wish the NCAA basketball were actually regional, rather than just a few seeds being based in a region.
I am very serious, I love the tournament and the big upsets it dishes out many times, I love to see small teams kicking MLS teams ass at times, I love to see teams I wouldn't otherwise have an occasione to see when it happens, I love seeing DCU games at the Soccerplex!
