Revs win U.S. Open Cup
The New England Revolution finally has something to put in its trophy case. Congrats New England - you've been working hard for years to have some hardware.
After three previous failures in the MLS Cup finals and one loss in the U.S. Open Cup championship, the Revolution beat FC Dallas 3-2 on Wednesday night to win the U.S. Open Cup.
The Cup, which has crowned a national champion since 1914, is open to all amateur and professional teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. The winning team receives $100,000.
The full name of the tournament is the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, named for the Kansas City Chiefs owner and soccer pioneer who owned three MLS teams, including FC Dallas.
