There is more to it than this. First, US Soccer gets the money, not MLS. Second, the tournament is not a money maker. If it were they would probably be able to have a more random draw. Finally, the Fire have certainly benefitted from the system in the past.
That is, literally, the first time that thing I have even used this thing and have it work. Good job.
Starting line up for tonight game, same as the last two games expect Paladini in for Pardo. [LINEUP-4-4-2]Oduro,Nyarko,Pappa,Paladini,Grazzini,Pause,Segares,Anibaba,Gibbs,Gargan,Johnson,[/LINEUP-4-4-2] I can't believe that with us playing on Saturday and Tuesday that Chavez (who played a total of 36 minutes in the last 9 games, 24 coming in a US OPEN CUP game against New York) didn't get a start. I guess FK doesn't want to mess with a winning lineup, I guess I can't blame him (hopefully it will be a three game winning streak). GO FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't expecting a big crowd, but it is absolutely empty here. Disappointing that the fan base is so weak for this team.
This feed is pretty rough. I look forward to the day when US Open Cup semifinal games are broadcast nationally.
segares maintains his average of letting one pass per game straight to him go over his foot and out of play
