2012 US Open Cup Third Round: Cal FC gets world’s attention with historic upset of Portland Timbers | TheCup.us - Full coverage of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup

That's a tier 5 team beating a tier 1 team.

And the Timbers did not play a team full of reserves either... Perkins in net, Nagbe, Chara, Boyd (missed a pk) were all on the pitch.

Next up for Cal FC... Seattle Sounders. Cmmmmmmon Cal FC!

At least "The Worst Team in The World" pays it's players and has a few Internationals on it.

These guys are probably what?... VMSL Prem Calibre?

Sounds like some "pros" took some "weekend hacks" a little too lightly.

Didn't the FVSL Allstars beat the Whitecaps a couple of years back?

 

[Sir M]

They finally won a game?

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Only 15 shots on target? That's a LOT of shots on target......for most games

I think they play Seattle tonight... interesting that it is Eric Wynalda's team - I read something about he started this team because he was trying to get (what he thought were) talented players on to professional teams but always heard excuses on why they weren't good enough.

Three weeks ago they were playing in Chicago Fire Jerseys complete with Best Buy sponsorship.
