Almost forgot to put this up for those who care about the oldest soccer tournament in the US. But there is some US Open Cup semifinal action tonight!

DC United plays host to New England first at 7:30pm ET at RFK Stadium and will only be broadcast via two radio streams (available at www.USOpenCup.com).

The Seattle Sounders vs Charleston Battery game also kicks off at 7:30pm and will be shown on USLLive.com.

More from these games later on tonight or early tomorrow morning! Enjoy!

It sure appears to be the case. I just got word about the possible championship scenarios for the 2008 US Open Cup today. Under three of four possible scenarios, either Seattle or Charleston from the USL-1 will host the title game next month.

DCU at Seattle, Sept. 3, 11 p.m. ET.

New England at Seattle, Sept. 15, 10 p.m.

New England at Charleston, Sept. 22, 7 p.m. ET. Continue Reading…

The results set up an all MLS semifinal and an all USL1 semifinal. No matter what, each division will get a club in the final game later this summer. Continue Reading…
