Time for some housekeeping.
It came out late last week that teams from Major League Soccer will be entering into the 2016 edition of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup during competition's fourth round on Wednesday, July 15th.
With a number of players sure to be gone for the Copa America Centenario from June 3rd to 26th, the first round of MLS matches will certainly be missing some first team players. However, thanks to MLS's scheduled two-week break for the Copa America, the increased fixture congestion from the start of the Open Cup should be minimal.
