Ahh, the hallmark of a lost Internet argument. A truly successful troll would never acknowledge his actions, making the victory that much sweeter. Thx, Jay!
So......SKC made it to the Open Cup final against Philly. That must be a mistake because I've read that the Open Cup is only for teams that have nothing to play for while SKC is likely to be in the playoffs and fighting for the Supporter's Shield. I guess no one told them this trophy doesn't matter.
We could have handled the QuarterFinals on July 14/21, but a congested schedule would have hampered us since then. The SemiFinals were last night (Wed) and we play NYCFC tonight (Thurs), with a CCL game next Wed and San Jose on Sat. And the Finals are scheduled for Wed Sept 30th, right in between Montreal on Sat and NYCFC (again) on Fri. Now maybe that could be pushed to the following week, since we have a big gap then, but the real problem isn't Supporters Shield and US Open Cup, its the CCL and the US Open Cup at the same time.
Having nothing to play for doesn't excuse the way we got bounced … When you're up a man and a goal and still lose, you deserve shame and ridicule. I don't mind an early exit from the Cup, especially in a CL year. But at least do it with some dignity and lose 3-0 …
US Open Cup should be played before MLS season starts, so you have some "real games" in the legs where the 3 points matter
