Sporting, United Advance In USOC Play


  Love or hate the MLS qualifying, last night the two games proved to be good ones in the US Open Cup. All four MLS sides involved put out mostly starters instead of going with the heavy reserves for this game like the Colorado Rapids did a few days ago in their loss to the…[continue reading]
