Wizards 4, Railhawks 2 AET
Well, I guess Curt Onalfo doesn’t really give a shit about the U.S. Open Cup until he realizes his side is down 2-0 in the second half to a mid-table USL-1 club.
That’s when he throws Claudio Lopez into the game and tells him to start pushing forward. One goal and one bad penalty — which led to Railhawks fans singing, “Who’s your father, who’s your father, who’s your father, referee?” — and suddenly, we’re in extra time. A breakaway goal by the Wizards and another late penalty sealed the deal.
Then the Wizards decided to start a fight in the final minute of stoppage time for no good reason, and they got a Railhawk player sent off for it. None of their players were shown the red card, despite some punches being thrown. Then one of their players capped it off by sending the final free kick of the game into the stands. It appeared he wanted to peg a fan in the head as people were leaving. Classy.
I may not care that much about MLS, but at least I have a team to hate now. Eat shit and die, Wizards. I hope you chimpfuckers rot in the MLS East cellar until the day MLS forces you to move to St. Louis.
*sigh* I’ve had better nights than this…
Anyway, it appears only three USL clubs at the most will make it out of the 3rd round this year. Crystal Palace Baltimore upset the New York Red Bulls, 2-0, much to the consternation of Ives Galarcep, and the Charleston Battery advanced on PKs over the Houston Dynamo. As I type this, the Seattle Sounders are up 1-0 on Chivas USA early in the second half. I’m watching it right now on USLLive.com. I might update this later.
UPDATE: Seattle won, 2-0, which means I’ll be cheering against the Sounders on Thursday and for the Sounders next Tuesday. By the way, I estimate the Railhawks saved about $15,000 by losing tonight, so there’s that.

Dave, as soon as I read about the shenanigans at this game, I thought of your site. You didn’t disappoint. I LOL’d.
So, did you learn Photoshop so as to create that “fucktards” logo, or did you lift it off of some teenage hater on BigSoccer?
Speaking of which I need to learn to use Photoshop or its equivalent; creating hypothetical new Rowdies crests and uniforms seems to have become a major new virtual cottage industry.
I did that. Clearly, I suck at image manipulation, but I can’t exactly afford two eight nine over here.
You must feel very pleased at the moment.
You have no idea. =^)
