Too bad none of the USOC is on real TV. The story of the run Omaha and even Sacramento is/are making would make great TV sports.

The last quarterfinal is next week but the USSF is going to do the draw for hosting in rest of the tournament tonight.
----------- USOC has had this problem for years and blame lies squarely with USSF Hell, they put the USM WCQ on bizarre channels as well. This should be soccer's equal to B-Balls March Madness. Almost too bad we could schedule it for 1 month like that
The results of the draw: Semifinals: Kansas City @ Sacramento NY Red Bulls @ Orlando/Nashville winner Final hosting priority order: Orlando/Nashville winner Kansas City NY Red Bulls Sacramento
I'm curious as to why they'd even mention Sacramento in the finals hosting priority. I'm pretty sure that just listing three covers all cases.

Is this the furthest a lower division team has made it since the Rochester Rhinos won it all? Edit: I see that the Charleston Battery made the final in 2008.
There have been quite a few semifinalists in the MLS era. Cincinnati made the semifinals in 2017 when they were still in USL. Richmond Kickers were in the semis in 2011. They were in USL Pro then. Rochester Rhinos made it back to the semifinals in 2009. The league was called USL First Division at that point. In 2008 one semifinal was Charleston Battery versus Seattle Sounders. Both were USL-1 at that point. In 2007, Seattle Sounders and Carolina RailHawks (USL-1) were both in the semis against MLS teams. Minnesota Thunder made the semis in 2005 from USL-1. In 2004 Charleston Battery made the semis from the A League. Charleston Battery and Rochester Rhinos both made the semis from the A League in 1999. In 1997 the San Francisco Seals of the USL D3 Pro League lost in the semifinals. And of course, Rochester in 1996.
