SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC AND SPORTING KANSAS CITY SET FOR U.S. OPEN CUP FINAL:

The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final figures to be an exciting clash between two Major League Soccer sides as Sporting Kansas City hosts three-time defending champion Seattle Sounders FC at 8 p.m. CT (9 p.m. ET) on Wed., Aug. 8, at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. The match will be broadcast live on GolTV. Fans can also follow live updates on ussoccer.com's Match Tracker and on Twitter @ussoccer.

Seattle is shooting for its fourth straight crown, which would be an unprecedented streak in the 99-year history of the tournament. Kansas City is vying for its second Dewar Challenge Trophy after winning the 2004 title as the Kansas City Wizards. The last time the U.S. Open Cup title game was held in August, the Richmond Kickers defeated the El Paso Patriots in a 4-2 shootout on Aug. 27, 1995, in El Paso, Texas.
