Title: US Open Cup Final
Post by: btings on August 09, 2012, 07:36:19 AM
Well, I didn't see it, as I don't get GolTV.  SKC 1-1 Seattle, with SKC winning on penalties, after Eddie Johnson pulled a John Terry and put the final Seattle penalty over the bar.  Apparently a previous SKC penalty had been retaken after the ref called Gspurning for being off the line.  It sounds a little dicey, but as a Quakes fan I'm happy to see Seattle lose.

I did go to the Quakes/Sounders quarterfinal match in SF this year (brought my coworkers, as our office is near Kezar Stadium), and had a good time.  The USOC is a weird little tournament but I wouldn't mind it gaining some more traction.
