Here is a good ESPN preview of the US Open Cup semifinal matches, coming up Tuesday.

And this week we received word that if the Sounders advance past Charleston to the final, that championship game against either D.C. United or New England Revolution will be played at Qwest Field.

“We’re ecstatic to have the chance to host the U.S. Open Cup final in what is the final USL season for the Sounders,” Sounders general manager Bart Wiley through a media release. “Of course, we have work to do and a tough game in Charleston but we’re confident we can get back to Qwest and play an Open Cup final.”

Details at the Sounders' site.
