MLS 16 plus

What a game on Sunday, the USA played a fantastic first half on Sunday, and then crumbled in the second half. Vasco has taken lots of flak for rooting for heritage rather than where I live, including insults and a serious infraction bestowed on me at big soccer. Vasco still believes that it was best the US didn't win, because I believe US soccer is doing it wrong and winning Sunday would have set back the US for a generation. You would only know that if you work at the lower end of the ladder.

The US Open Cup third round starts tonight, and ends tomorrow night, and Vasco thought he would take a few predictions to go with it, after going 6-2-1 last week, missing the US/Spain game and LA winning.

Harrisburg on the road at New England, NE lots of injuries, and Harrisburg is bad on the road tough call on this game. With all of the injuries, Vasco sees a Harrisburg upset.
DC over Ocean City NJ Barons, the last remaining PDL team.
Wilmington at home over Chicago.
Columbus at Rochester, Rochester has only played two home games this year without a win. Columbus rolls.
Charleston at home will win versus Chivas
Austin at Houston, Houston doesn't play well in the open cup. Austin an expansion team this is their biggest game ever. Houston rolls
Tomorrow night
Minnesota at home vs Kansas City, Kansas city wins
The big game of this round Portland 7-1-5 vs Seattle in Portland. Vasco sees Seattle winning this one.
