Who is D.C. United going to end up playing in the 2017 US Open Cup?

The Lamar Hunt US Open Cup is already well underway, with a first round full of semi-professional and amateur teams (including several from the DMV) kicking off last week. We covered the basics heading into those games, but now it’s time to tackle a thornier question: who, exactly, is D.C. United going to play?

At the time this piece is being written, one team - the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the USL - has advanced to the third round. The rest of the second round takes place tonight, weather permitting (the weather gods usually do their best to put a halt to at least one USOC game per round, though, and in the first round forced a two-day postponement and a venue change between the PDL’s Chicago FC United and the NPSL’s Grand Rapids FC).
