No better way to elevate the national team than to have them play "meaningful" matches against El Salvador and Granada without a manager

It's a madhouse.

The scrub round is over. USL enters round 2, then MLS rounds 3 and 4. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_U.S._Open_Cup#Bracket

Pittsburgh will enter in round 3, since their round 2 opponent, the Rochester Rhinos, have folded. They were the only sub-MLS team to ever win this thing, along with the subsequent champions league bid.

The semifinals conclude on May 2 with the second leg of the series. On the USA side LA hosts Philly following a 1-1 draw in the first leg. The other semifinal is Liga MX Lions and Tigers. The Final will straddle the next month change in late May, early June. 

US Open Cup

Canadian Voyageurs Cup

All the matches up to the WC are pretty much friendlies. With 48 teams qualifying will be a joke. 

At least in the past the gold cup was every 4 years and everyone really went for it. The competetion wasn't great talent-wise but it was fun and intense. Now its bring a B or C team so they can squeeze out 1 more US-Mexico match prior to the Confed cup.

Columbus Crew stomped Louden United 5-1 in the Open Cup this week. They play at the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in the round of 16 next.

Let's Go Crew!
