Crew got bounced from the Open cup by Hot-lanta yesterday.

Everyone see US woman's team sublimly golf clap after scoring so as not to upset the internet world who was upset that they cheered in their previous match?
Did they allow fans at the Crew match?

New Mexico United (USL) adds Dallas to their MLS scrap heap in the US Open Cup. Up next? Minnesota United in the quarterfinals. 

Also St Louis took down Cincinnati. So that's two USL teams in the quarterfinals, each with a pair of wins over MLS teams. They have to play Atlanta next. 

There's a late West Coast game late tomorrow night, so I'll search out the quarterfinal bracket after work on Friday.

Are the losing MLS teams playing without key players? Atlanta is without top scorer, Josef Martinez, who is playing for Venezuela in the Copa America Tournament.

Some drama here with Australia routing Jamaica, meaning France or Germany would have to play Brazil in a round of 16 game.

Right now Brazil, Italy and Australia would all have 6 points, Italy would be +5, and both Brazil and Australia +3, but Australia with the edge in goals for at 8-5.  So Brazil would finish 3rd
Appears that England or the Netherlands will have to play Brazil. Assuming the teams tied with 9 points are seeded by goal differential. They are tied with 4 GD, which is low for the 9 point teams. How else would they do it? The rout of Thailand put the USA at the top of the heap. So why did they catch so much grief!?

It's a valid question.  To be fair, most of the "grief" I saw wasn't from the fact that they scored the goals, but rather that they chose to celebrate those goals.  I'm not sure where to draw the line between celebration, and excessive celebration.  But it seems pretty obvious that at least some of the outcry from the global audience was nothing more than rancor at the mean old USA being such big bullies.

Why the hell is the US having to play Spain? They should be playing the fourth best third-place team which is Nigeria. Guess France gets Nigeria. :smiley_confused1:

NCAA must have learned seeding from FIFA.

Upcoming Australia-Norway is most even, and correct, match up of WWC knockout round. If 1-16 seeding had been used they would be #'s 8 & 9.

Even matchup indeed.  And fittingly, it went overtime, and then to PKs.

Anyone watch the USAMNT play Trinidad and Tobago?  Their keeper sure was a mouthy little shit, right up until the US scored its 3rd or 4th goal.  Then he just quietly moped for the rest of the match.

I really can't stand CONCACAF.  I hate the way all the small Central American and island nations play the game.  So much flopping, so many fouls, and the CONCACAF officials just let it ride because if they called every single one of them, most teams would end up with 11 red cards and no players to finish a game.  Obviously it can't happen, but I'd love to see the USA petition to join UEFA instead.

I think merging with CONMEBOL is the more likely scenario.

Bit of a shaky looking first half for the women.  1-1 at half.
