This, my friends, has been the summer of our discontent.

It started with Cal FC.

It continued with some really stirring losses.

Spenny got fired. Perkins got traded.

We lost a match 5-nil.

Kenny scored on us.

Merritt called us idiots.

And we’re still here. We’re frustrated, but we’re still here.

The Army is gathering.

There’s a Cup on the line.

With waning hope for a playoff spot, we focus on what really matters: we will bring the Cascadia Cup to the Rose City where it belongs.

It starts now.

Vancouver this weekend. Seattle in a few weeks. Road trips to each in October. I’d prefer to have it wrapped up before the bus trip.

Let’s have it.
