At the beginning of July, Philly Soccer Page posted an article about the MLS is Back Tournament, entitled “Darned if you do, darned if you don’t.” If the reader missed that day’s content (shame on you), the gist was this: there was no good way to move forward with soccer in America given the state of the virus in America, and that the bubble option was the least worst one.
The league made that least worst option into a fun Norway WhatsApp number list and entertaining spectacle, culminating in a great final between Orlando City SC and the Portland Timbers.
The day after that final saw the aforementioned Dallas and Nashville kick off the first phase of the league’s non-tournament regular season, no rest for the weary and such. By now fans know that this season will happen in phases, with regional matches setting the stage for whatever is possible in a month’s time.
At this time, MLS has announced the initial phase of the revised schedule through September 16 and plans to announce the balance of the regular season schedule by early September. Attendance at matches will be determined by MLS and club leadership in accordance with applicable state and local guidelines.
The Union have six matches scheduled between Thursday and September 12th, all against conference sides that can be reached and returned from in a single day. PSP’s own Peter Andrews covered the announcement when it was made, and as of publication it appears fans will not allowed at any of the six competitions.
