USOpenCup.com: Among the best
Soccer America honors the site

USOpenCup.com is honored to have been identified as one of the top U.S. soccer
web sites.

In the "Year in Review" in the December issue of Soccer America, Ian
Plenderleith ranks the site along with USLSoccer.com, Yanks-Abroad.com,
TheGlobalGame.com, USSoccerPlayers.com and the American Soccer History Archives
among America's best.

"The following recommendations, however, generally approach the game from a less
partisan, and therefore less predictable, point of view, providing insight into
the game¢s uncovered corners, and opinions that aim to promote discussion rather
than rancour and ticket sales," Plenderleith writes of his top sites.

"With the memory of the 2006 final still fresh in the minds of soccer fans
across the country, qualification for the 2007 edition of the tournament has
begun in Illinois and Wisconsin,¢ " stated a recent lead story on the site. Who
knew?" Plenderleith wrote. "The answer, obviously, is the only independent site
that is deeply committed to the history and the present of the country¢s oldest
surviving soccer trophy."

The staff of USOpenCup.com would like to thank Ian Plenderleith and Soccer
America for recognizing the work that goes into this website, and all the fans
and media members who frequent our pages. We look forward to bringing you even
more coverage in 2007.
