PrintLooks like a busy week for participants in the 2011 U.S. Open Cup with a series of games being played by MLS teams, usually paired against PDL sides. Both the Seattle Sounders and LA Galaxy will be partaking in the festivities playing against Kitsap Pumas and LA Blues, respectively. Personally, I'm rooting for the PDL sides.
It's a shame the Portland Timbers didn't make it this year as both the main team and the U-23 PDL side fell to their respective league rivals. Maybe next year...
Enjoy the day's news.

You need to put out a “WARNING” whenever you are linking to a Bleacher Report article. Just kidding, thanks for the link.
that's no joke, Bleacher Report is actually a waste of time and internet
