MLS Enters the Chat: U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 Draw (Soccer 4/17)

The magic of the U.S. Open Cup is back—and the Round of 32 draw did not disappoint. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola break down the biggest matchups and storylines as 16 MLS teams enter the fray, with plenty of potential for upsets. Indy Eleven head coach Sean McAuley stops by to preview his club’s showdown with the Philadelphia Union, the gap between USL Championship and MLS, and where he stands on promotion and relegation in American soccer. Then, former USMNT midfielder and two-time Open Cup champion Michael Parkhurst joins the show to talk about building Rhode Island FC from the ground up, the buzz around their new stadium, and why their draw against New England Revolution couldn’t be more perfect.
