Remember the reason the Open Cup is directly competing with Copa America tonight is because
@ussoccer let MLS bully it into changing the Open Cup schedule to accommodate the Leagues Cup.
MLS also bullied U.S. Soccer and
@Concacaf into giving it an exclusive monopoly to 29/29 spots in the Leagues Cup and 4/5 U.S. spots in the Concacaf Champions Cup.
The final CCC spot is awarded via the Open Cup, in which MLS bulled U.S. Soccer into giving it unearned byes past all other competitors.
Then MLS bullied U.S. Soccer into letting all but 8 of its teams leave the Open Cup.
We need new U.S. Soccer and Concacaf leaders who stand up to MLS bullying.
