US Open Cup Tonight

Posted by: WVHooligan In: Chicago Fire| DC United| FC Dallas| KC Wizards| MLS| New England Revolution| US Open Cup

Quarterfinal round of the 2008 edition of the US Open Cup kicks off tonight in a few cities around the country. Plenty of interesting match-ups in all.

Below are the times and broadcast information for each game.

All Times Eastern

U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals

Crystal Palace Baltimore (USL-2) at New England Revolution (MLS)
Veterans Stadium, Willow Brook Park; New Britain, Conn. – 7:00 PM
Broadcast: Online Radio (New England)

Chicago Fire (MLS) at DC United (MLS)
Maryland SoccerPlex; Boyds, Md. – 7:30 PM
Broadcast: Spanish & English radio (DC United)

Charleston Battery (USL-1) at FC Dallas (MLS)
Pizza Hut Park; Frisco, Texas – 8:30 PM
Broadcast:
Video (FC Dallas) Radio (no webcast): REAL 1340AM WQSC (Charleston)

Kansas City Wizards (MLS) at Seattle Sounders (USL-1)
Qwest Field; Seattle, Wash. – 10:00 PM
Broadcast: Video

Like I said, all the matches have some interesting aspects behind them. New England is going up against the biggest underdog in recent Open Cup history. Could a USL2 club really make it through against the defending Cup champions? I think we will get at least one upset tonight in terms of a MLS club going down; look for Seattle to be that club. I am eager to see the outcome of the Charleston/Dallas match, this is the third straight year these two clubs have met in this competition. And as always, a DC-Chicago game is going to be interesting.

Stay tuned for results later on tonight!

Always good to read about soccer and football.

Can I ask though – how did you get this picked up and into google news?

Very impressive, is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?

Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..
