I'm sure Dan R will have the final say on this but I've seen alot of conflicting reports about how many semifinals the Metros have actually made it to. My count is 4. (Final in parans) We lost in 97 to Dallas 2-1 in OT (Dallas beat DC) We lost in 98 to Columbus 1-0 (Chicago beat Crew) We lost in 2000 to Miami 3-2 (Chicago beat Miami) We beat DC last week 3-2
How the Metro haven't hired you yet as their stat person is beyond me? This is from the official Metrostars.com report of the match. "The Metros had twice been to a U.S. Open Cup Semifinal (1997, 2000), however the club had never been able to advance."
