The passion of the USFA Cup

You are a complete idiot.

 

You should tell yourself that too.

 

What is the USFA Cup? I've never heard of this thing before...

 

I see two English flags and a person in an England shirt. Is this somewhere in England?

 

1914
The U.S. Football Association (USFA) was granted full membership in FIFA, the world's governing soccer body.
1945
The USFA changed its name to U.S. Soccer Football Association (USSFA).
1974
The USSFA changed its name to the United States Soccer Federation (USSF).

Wilmington Hammerheads 0 - DC United 1

 

Which continues to beg the question, what is the USFA Cup? The USFA does not exist, and hasn't since 1945.

There is a competition called the US Open Cup, or to be more exact the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. I wonder if this is what he means, but we'll likely never know.

 

It still exists-just under a different name.

Only NYR Metros can say for sure. I would imagine USOC is what is being meant: since the photos are from the US Open Cup Quarterfinal game - DC United at Wilmington Hammerheads.

 

OK, you are going to have to accept the possibility that I was being facetious at the time. It makes you sound less nerdy.

 

So what you're saying is that you're about 60 years behind the times?

 

I'm not sure why everyone's so upset with the initial poster. He may have gotten the name of the tournament wrong, but I for one am happy he posted the pictures; they're way cool and they do show some of the passion which exists in this tournament, and I always love to see stuff like that.

Well done.

 

No you don't.

 

that is quite a good turn out there!

was it a semi or something?

 

An MLS team came to town.
