Battle for the Cup

Yes, MLS is the top dog

Is MLS the Top Dog ?

Nick Rollins on the 2000 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup

TheCrew.com will once again be running a live scoreboard for all 6 third-round games on Tuesday night (no word yet on what we're doing for Wednesday's DC-Rochester game - the Crew are playing Newcastle United in an exhibition game at that point).

The main page for Open Cup news is:
http://www.thecrew.com/news/opencupnews.shtml

The live scoreboard will be located here:
http://www.thecrew.com/news/opencup_scoreboard.shtml

We'll also be running a chat room for all of these games, which will be located here:
http://www.get-innovative.com/crewchat/

Its a Shockwave 8 plugin, so if you need time to download and install everything, you might want to do that before everything kicks off tomorrow evening.

The first game (Mid-Michigan vs. Miami) kicks off at 7:30 - so hopefully we'll see everyone there!
