Hopefully Rochester will do well this year. They made it to the quaterfinals last year, but then we lost to Charleston which was a bad loss. I think we can fo it this year, our team is finally gelling together ot be a great team.

what about the Mid-Michigan Bucks ? :nape:

So who are the favourites to win this cup, i presume Kansas?

That was our very first year as a soccer club and we made it all the way to the finals. What about 1999? Huh, remember that one?
