Seattle going for 2nd-straight Open Cup title

More than a year after some harsh words for U.S. Soccer, the Seattle Sounders FC get their chance at winning a championship before their home fans.

The Sounders host the Columbus Crew in the 2010 U.S. Open Cup final Tuesday night.

A year ago, the Sounders felt slighted when D.C. United was awarded the final, leaving Seattle general manager Adrian Hanauer to engage in a media war of words with United president Kevin Payne. Seattle walked away with the satisfaction of a 2-1 victory and its first championship in its inaugural season.

Don't think we've forgotten about you! Consecutive Open Cup championships taste oh so sweet.

You really should change that web page - "We win trophies" should be past tense. You WON trophies, before the new kid on the block showed you how it's done.
