I was hoping that if Seattle wins they would have played in New Mexico - that would have allowed my mum and sister to watch the Sounders in person. No such luck.
In case you are bored and wondering how to pronounce the "Puyallup Tribe", as mentioned on the signs behind one of the goals, here's a song that will provide illumination (Puyallup is also a town south of Seattle that is home to the Washington State Fair). "Puyallup" is one of those names that quickly tells you who is and who is not a local in these parts (another is Sequim).
OPEN CUP LIMBS IN NORCAL as USL side Sacramento Republic score twice in extra time after falling a goal down, to beat MLS' San Jose Earthquakes, 4-3, in US Open Cup Round of 16.

Edgar can also help with the pronunciation, and he'll also pronounce geoduck (and get a Cougs reference in for @Ismitje)
This time Seattle is the beneficiary of a penalty for a handball by the Phoenix defender. Alex Roldan converts Seattle 1-1 Phoenix

Out of the teams left LAFC is the better team. It is their Cup to lose. And it's why I think they won't win it. For some reason the better team (on paper, at least) hasn't won USOC.
