For Star subscribers: The Men in Black are part of the six-month, 103-team Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup that encompasses America’s vast soccer community.
Greg Hansen Imagine the Saint Peter’s Peacocks bracketed in a months-long basketball tournament that included not just Duke and North Carolina, but also the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors.
It’s a lose-and-go-home format — knockout rounds, as U.S. Soccer likes to call it — and FC Tucson gets its first shot Wednesday, when it plays the Las Vegas Lights of the next-level-up USL Championship division. In effect, it’s like a Triple-A baseball team, Las Vegas, playing at Tucson’s Double-A USL League One franchise.
This is the 107th U.S. Open Cup, dating to 1914, and Pearlman isn’t the only coach eager to make the most of such opportunity. "They’ll give concessions to a lower league," says Pearlman."It’s not unusual in the early rounds for an amateur team to host a game. It’s a great opportunity to grow the game, draw more fans. That’s how I look at being able to play at Kino on Wednesday."
He was up early Tuesday, cutting up and studying video from Saturday’s season-opening loss to the Richmond Kickers. It didn’t help that Pearlman and his team got stuck in the Denver airport for eight hours Sunday, stalled by a canceled return flight from Virginia following their season opener.Not only is Pearlman tasked to prepare for the Las Vegas Lights, but for FC Tucson's April 16 home opener against Forward Madison FC of Wisconsin. Not that he’s ducking the opportunity.
