This is pretty incredible. Christos FC, a Baltimore amateur team that doesn't even train regularly, plays DCU tonight in the US Open Cup.

They beat the Richmond Kickers (a USL team) and a fourth-tier team to set this up.

It's basically just a bunch of ex-college players who still play some competitively. Their name comes from the liquor store that sponsors them.

Really cool story.

Haha, there was a Christos close to where I lived in DC in 2006

It appears as if they are the only non MLS, NASL, or USL side left in the round of 64

IF Christos were to win tonight, can they add new players to their roster for the next game? Is there anything stopping them from "signing" a recently retired Landon Donovan?
