So three USL teams survived their MLS opponent to move onto the round of 16. 
Louisville and Nashville beat the New England Revolution and the Colorado Rapids respectively, and will get to play against each other in the round of 16, so at least one USL team is guaranteed to make it to the Quarterfinal round.
additionally Sacramento beat the Seattle Sounders, and will face Los Angeles FC in the round of 16.
Full round of 16 bracket: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_U.S._Open_Cup


The Round of 16 will take place June 16-20.

Wow that Spain-Portugal match was just incredible.  I'm not a huge Ronaldo fan, but I'm also not a hater, and that was a masterful performance.

Blainville beat Oakville 2-1 in the first leg in Quebec. The second leg will be in Ontario June 13th.
And 1-0 in the second leg.

Blainville will play The Ottawa Fury from the big bad USL on June 20th and 27th. The winner gets the four seed, and goes up against Toronto in their National semifinal in July, with the Montreal Impact taking on the Vancouver Whitecaps in the other semifinal.

------------------------

Portland, Philadelphia and Sporting KC have already advanced to the July 18th US Open Cup Quarterfinals, by beating the LA Galaxy, Red Bull NY and FC Dallas, respectively.

The rest of the games in this round are on Monday - Wednesday.

------------------------

And now back to your regularly scheduled World Cup updates...

Without a rooting interest, I'm struggling to get any more into this than say, Champions League.  Can enjoy some pretty good soccer, but honestly if it wasn't running unopposed while I had my coffee in the morning I probably wouldn't have watched any of it yet.  And I'm the guy who is watching Qualifying and Gold Cups when the US is playing.

So far pretty fun for me actually. Brazil looked amazing for 20 minutes but then looked disorganized. No one has looked particularly great. Might make for some drama.

ISL continues to play better than their parts.   They won't win it all, but I certainly could see them being disruptive.   The best teams so far, imo, seem to be Spain and Portugal.    But we will see.  It is early.
Like the Stanley cup playoffs, so far I've been impressed with the matches.

England with a late goal to win against Tunisia. England looked like the bad news bears at times in that game, but I'm probably rooting for them this year.

I love international soccer, even when the US isn't playing.  There are plenty of national teams I enjoy watching that aren't my own-- and a few that I love to root against, as well. ;)
