"Because, Frankly 11 Trophies is Not Enough"
Now, in this clip D.C. united are asking "Will you be there?" That's the public line on the U.S. Open Cup final. But this one has a little more zing to it.
"Because, Frankly 11 Trophies is Not Enough."
That's the line a D.C. United insider says the club from the capital is taking internally in it's bid to lift the U.S. Open Cup this year. As an avowed RBNY supporter I hate to say it but their trophy case has indeed reached levels of gauche-ness not seen since Slick Rick last walked out the front door of Jacob the Jeweler's. Still, history won't help them one bit on Saturday.
But I'm trying to talk Atlantic Cup trash here. What I'm trying to do is remind you that the U.S. Open Cup final is coming on Wednesday Sept. 3rd. United will be facing Charleston Battery in a battle for...whatever it is that the winner gets. Tickets for this one-night-only affair (no home & away legs in this tournament) are available here. If you don't live within crossing distance of RFK you can tune in to the 95th installment of the USOC final at 7.30pm EST on FSC.

Thanks for letting me know it's televised, but the game is actually on Wednesday, September 3rd, not the 6th.
I'll be there! I'm not taking this one for granted. DC United has been way too uneven to claim this as an easy win.
The Atlantic Cup will be gift wrapped to red bull this year as a useless trinket that means nothing.
Why?
Because this year it is. While we (New York) pissed away our opportunity at being the in teh Champion's League next year by playing a scrub side, DC United took that shit more seriously then the first 8 weeks of league play.
This weekend they are playing as weark a roster as they possibly can against Red Bull in order to assure success in the USOC final.
Red Bull will surely win as long as they take this trip to trip south a little more seriously than the last one against DC and clusterphuck at a high school in Annapolis.
We'll get the win, they'll get the victory. And Metro supporters should be very upset by that.
SF, I love you brother, but "a battle for . . . whatever it is the winner gets"??
That would be a trophy. A champinonship. Something Metro/RB has never won.
Oh, yeah. THAT.
The oldest team sport trophy in the US, if I remember correctly. And one of the oldest team sport trophies in the world.
Obviously a trohpy but what kind of cash or bonuses(if any)are given out for this? And does this winner get a CONCACAF Champs league berth? Or due they just get the silverware and that's it?
"And does this winner get a CONCACAF Champs league berth? "
Yes.
"Or do they just get the silverware and that's it?"
If New England will actually let the thing go. :)
