I want to be very, very, VERY clear on this. We've read the Open Cup rules. A LOT. US Soccer has ZERO, and I mean ZERO restrictions on the roster that MLS teams can put out in an Open Cup game. None whatsoever. If a roster is league legal, it is Open Cup legal. Period.

If player development is the true aim here, #MLS can work with U.S. Soccer (and MLSPA, as appropriate) as necessary on roster rules to ensure MLS Next Pro players can appear in the Open Cup. Teams can make their own decisions on how to prioritize as they always have.

MLS typically advances in 75-80% of their matches vs. lower divisions. When you’re a part of the 20-25% that don’t, this is probably the opposite of what you should say after. Any other coach in American sports would be crucified for this.

Gonna tell you right now, Dan, that's a common sentiment from MLS teams after losing in the Open Cup in any round, and especially to lower league opposition. US Open Cup matters until you lose, then it doesn't matter. Funny how that works.

I'm being told by my soccer sources that this USOC is basically an exhibition game. It does not count in the standings. The loons did not play all their starters. So yes, bad loss but not sure it's calamitous. I'll open it up for discussion though.

@usopencup MLS roster rules don’t allow teams to play academy players on the first team without an MLS contract. It’s not like England in that way where youth players don’t count against first team registration limits. MLS would have to change longstanding roster rules to make this work.

@CaptainUniball @MenInBlazers US Open cup has been around for 100+ years and nothing has improved. The stadiums are empty as ever for those games. It’s time for something new.

IT'S OFFICIAL: For the first time in the tournament's 106-year history, the #USOpenCup has been cancelled. Because of #COVID19 , #USOC2020 is no longer the 2nd-oldest continually-operating cup competition in the world. FULL STORY:

I don't normally nitpick about what makes a #SCtop10 list, but on the same night a lower division team advanced to the #USOC2022 Final with a dramatic PK shootout (on ESPN+, no less), 2 of the Top 10 were above average catches by WRs during NFL practices. 😐

Only a MLS nerd would come up with an unreadable mess of a thread to make sense of what billionaires want to do and then conclude to eliminate the one historical soccer tournament we have in this country. Y'all are weirdos sometimes.

I’m begging @MLS to put its teams back in the @usopencup . While we’re at it, lower-division teams REALLY should be hosting these games. I’d LOVE to watch #SportingKC games up here.

Another bit of misinformation out there yesterday that we should clear up. No, US Soccer does not take 50% of a cut of the gate from each match. Here is the complete form from last year. In short: It's a flat fee charged and then a % of net ticket revenue minus a deductible. ⬇️

We just had an entire round where all 17 MLS teams played lower league. What more do you want? This is the exact same number of MLS teams in the Round of 32 as 2019, but now we had a whole round of great David vs. Goliath matches first. It worked out great.

2024 US Open Cup Handbook: Hosting fees based on match revenue, more travel money, “ringer” rules

TheCup.us has recently gotten a copy of the 2024 US Open Cup Tournament Proper handbook which outlines both of these items in detail, along with many more organizational and operational items that…

Josh really wanted to clarify this. Not just the Modern Era. The 10th highest attended @opencup match OF ALL TIME. And this is golden... but who did they replace? The 2017 Final that Sporting KC hosted and won. Let's fuel that up some more!

Since MLS hasn't had to play up to 6 matches in one Open Cup before this year, this is (we're still verifying, but pretty sure) the most matches any one team has hosted in a single tournament. @OrlandoCitySC will play all 6 of its #USOC2022 matches at Exploria Stadium.

We do have one fact check on this. He was wrong about implying that a lot of other countries allow both a first team and an affiliated reserve team. That is actually rare to see today, the largest country we could find that still does that in their domestic cup is Poland.

Everything Nelson said about improving the Open Cup is true. But MLS needs to step up and be a better partner. So does the USL. Use your media deals to make the broadcasts better. Get more financially involved. Fix the game together.
