THIS is the best cup in the world… seriously

[@3xl382]

I learned 100 years of U.S. Open cup history in 11 minutes, wow. Great video, now I feel like I can truly appreciate this tournament as it was meant to be!

[@meninblazers]

Appreciate you 👊

[@Queensizemusic]

Agreed.

[@zone07]

I'm a casual soccer watcher but I tell you what, if it wasn't for Messi, I wouldn't know this cup existed; now I have my DVR ready for tonight's game.

[@Adud]

Such a shame such a historic cup is facing possibly the biggest threat to its existence in the modern era

[@javiojeda521]

Such awful news that MLS is choosing greed over the history and significance of this cup. It’s good to hear though that the NASL teams skipped it too and that the Open Cup didn’t include professional teams for 45 years. With USL teams still participating I think the cup could survive. Especially if winning it will still qualify you for the Champions League. MLS owes the Open Cup for so much, it’s a great way to grow the game in non MLS cities. Cincinnati got its way to MLS because of the Open Cup. Fuck the MLS for this.

Rumors of Messi having a hamstring injury seem to be true. I still hope he plays.

[@meninblazers]

It’s all a plot to lull Houston into a daze

[@meninblazers]

Nothing like a hot and sticky final.

Share this with everyone! Beautiful video about an amazing American soccer cup competition. Hopefully the US Open Cup can grow and possibly get a big sponsor with a bigger money prize.

[@ricardogomez3943]

MESSI 🐐

[@meninblazers]

GOATED.

[@spainishheron]

9:45 wrong. They have won the USL Championishp before

[@EncryptedRug]

Wasn’t Bethlehem steel in Pennsylvania not Maryland?

[@EncryptedRug]

@@meninblazers (curious nerd here) that’s even more confusing. A quick google search tells me (and I forgot) Bethlehem steel (the company) owned a shipyard in Baltimore but the team that play 1907-1930 and won the cup 6 times was from Bethlehem steel factory in Pa and not the ship yard in Baltimore. I’m more curious because this is a whole other side of US soccer that I didn’t know existed.

[@EncryptedRug]

Also, I put 5 minutes into this. You put a lot more so I just want to know where to look so I can annoy people at parties with my fun facts.

[@meninblazers]

@@EncryptedRug You are correct! We are wrong!

[@EncryptedRug]

@@meninblazerswell that just makes me feel bad! Thank you for all that you do, love your channel.

[@jerrymcma]

Haha wow fascinating story. Great build up to the final. Had no idea it's the oldest cup in America. Bethlehem vs Brooklyn. A crossroads in American history whereas the yanks chose baseball over soccer. What goes around comes around. From 800 people watching 100 yrs ago to 800 million tomorrow. Even the Kardashians lol.

[@jerrymcma]

And if only Deward's Whiskey were still sponsoring!! 😂😂😂❤️🐐🐐🐐

They need to get back in the Dewar's Cup game!

[@BinkyMarsh29]

Brilliant stuff! I see a book in our future: American States United Complete History

[@smulrich1234]

Bethlehem Steel is in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

[@meninblazers]

You’re wrong twice my guy but I still love ya

[@MrZen08]

@@meninblazers Rog- I just checked the team's wiki page as well as the history written on Philadelphia Union's site, and there is no mention of Maryland, only the Bethlehem outside of Philly, as the winner of so many USO Cups. Doesn't take away my appreciation for your channel though!

[@meninblazers]

@@MrZen08 everyone else is correct! It was the team from Bethlehem, PA!

[@smulrich1234]

There is Bethlehem, PA in Lehigh and Northampton Counties, so where did Maryland come in?

[@meninblazers]

@@smulrich1234 The Bethlehem Steel plant was in Baltimore Maryland, but many other commenters are correct that the Bethlehem team was from Bethlehem PA.
