[2012 US Open Cup Semi-Final] Union vs. Sporting Kansas City [R]

Let's do this!

 

We Want The Cup!

 

Win this one, host the Goats in the final... Everyone still have their DOOPIN FOR THE CUP rally towels from the playoff game last year?

 

You're not going to have wait long to know the result of that match, they play Tuesday Night, so we'll know before our match if we have a chance to host the final or not.

As for lineup..........I'd expect the same lineup that played against TFC. Our 18 on Sunday only had 5 international players on it, so it would meet the USOC rules.

This match will be tougher then one a few weeks ago. It'll be interesting to see what sort of adjustments each team makes.

 

Thought this as well then double checked, game is at 10pm on wednesday after our game.

Btw, was wondering what the attendance is going to be like so i chcked out best available tickets.
134 row H is the best available in TRE. Thats a good sign right? I remember doing the same day before the harrisburg game and finding tickets in 137 row A.

Also found field seats row A, but id expect those to sell last, or at least not first.

 

Good catch. They must have changed it, as I could have sworn it was originally scheduled for Tuesday July 10.

 

I have season tix and if i don't have tickets I buy at the stadium, decided to do it online this time.... DAYUM they get you all this extra money... 4.50 a ticket processing fee and 8.00 to leave them at will call.... I WANT THE F***IN CUP

 

I hate the Wiz and I hate their style of play. Beating the Wiz again would be incredibly satisfying. Our players are smaller and more technical. A Union win would help invalidate this stupid idea that putting big, super fit guys in front of the net is the best way to score goals.

 

I hope Kansas City are ready to LOSE!

 

Ready or not, here we DOOP.

 

I like the Union's chances but don't expect a 4-0 drubbing like last time.

 

Unless someone got banged up Sunday (and I haven't heard of any injuries), Hack should start the same lineup. Why mess with a good thing?

Hoppenot, Torres and Gaddis can provide speed off the bench which may be helpful if the game goes into extra time. Daniel and Lahoud can provide extra physicality if necessary.

 

if you are adding josue, which if the other internationals are you dropping?

 

Their bidding for the final shows they are serious about this competition. They know all about Hackworth's style from the 4-0. I'm not confident.

 

Odds makers have us as dogs.


Wed Jul 11 19:30 Philadelphia vs Sporting KC 2.90 l 3.20 l 2.50

 

I believe it means that if you bet $100 for the Union to win and the Union wins in regulation, you get back $290. If you bet $100 for SKC to win and SKC wins in regulation, you get back $250. If you bet the draw and the game goes into overtime regardless of who wins, you get back $320.

Am I correct about the winning in regulation part? In other words, if you bet the Union and they win in overtime without PKs, you lose, right?

 

Yeah those seats are way overpriced for what you get, the person looking at those either goes cheaper for club or splurge for Manager's row.

 

We wanted the cup... and got it? What an attentive Front Office!
