In news that will surprise no one, Sporting Kansas City were drawn to face an MLS opponent in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. SKC will face the Houston Dynamo... again. It is the 16th time in the last 18 USOC games that Sporting have played an MLS side. There was a possibility that they could have drawn USL League One (third division) side Union Omaha. Instead, Minnesota United are hosting Omaha. Sure, make the lower division team travel.
My colleague Mike Kuhn has some stats worth noting. That’s two-thirds of all the games against Houston, FC Dallas or Minnesota.
