The Kansas City Wizards were squeezed out of yesterday's quarterfinal round on penalties, following a 0-0 draw with the USL-1 Seattle Sounders. FC Dallas also crashed, getting pounded 3-1 at home by perennial pesky second divisioners Charleston Battery.

Charleston has a good side. That attacking midfielder...(forget the name now) was MLS quality IMO.

There are a lot of MLS quality players in USL-1. As someone on BS put it, because of MLS's salary cap and structure MLS is full of the 1st tier and 3rd tier MLS quality players. The 2nd tier players play in USL-1 where they can make a living wage and improve themselves by actually getting playing time.
