    Not yet. Whitecaps will play Forge in the semis. They had a draw among the final four rather than stick with geography.

    We're guaranteed a first time winner for the Open Cup at least, and should be decent attendance from here on out unless the Red Bulls win.

    DC United still doesn’t have a HC and Son played mere days after his signing.

    People say that the Liga MX vs MLS every year is getting tiresome but damn USOC is on a another level of tiresome. Same matches every single year! They need to change it up. At least make a draw in the semis to get random matches. Having less MLS teams in it helped but this tournament needs some randomness.

    Especially now that it offers travel reimbursement.

    A competition that doesn't make money, costs teams to play in and takes a percentage of ticket sales.

    Why on earth did MLS partially pull out?

    The extra cost for flying across the country vs. a short trip is really a negligible part of the cost.

    Are you sure? Try buying 30 tickets plus excess baggage to fly from Detroit to Sacramento at 3 weeks notice and add two nights in a hotel and food.

    Minnesota has had some pretty disappointing attendance. Nashville is getting 20k+ which is great.
