Why not Clark in Kakus spot, Stroud wide?


Carnell has had an aversion to playing him at the 10 where he played with the 2s. I guess to keep things more simple and not overwhelm the kid, idk?

Some precedent with USL canceling both the League 1 and Championship finals.

But earlier rounds? Would have to be a forfeit to keep things moving along unless MLS allows the USL team (if the team has one) to be signed to short term contracts under a COVID exception rule.

I don't see them waiving the 10-day quarantine rule for a USL call-up and if I were the other team, I would certainly protest. That would be risking the health of both teams.

"It was always six weeks away. Every month, [Nick Sakiewicz] would say, we're six weeks away from the stadium. It's been the longest six weeks of my life." - Mike Petke

This is going to be a long week, I haven't had this much free time in years and it's driving me crazy... I can't wait to see them play.. I wish I could see them person but it's just not worth getting sick from this crazy Pandemic even if they allow fans at the game..


I really think Carnell will have them play as good or better than last match and I like those odds.. Can't wait for this match.
I just want Metro to win a title sometime in my lifetime.

Fair and good points, and most the teams with a USL team have integrated at least some of those players into their first team training already meaning they wouldn't be eligible either.

I might have time to watch the playoff game this weekend. Are the Red Bulls any good this year?

Did you see any NYRBII games in 2018/2019? If so, its those guys plus a few other guys that have underperformed.

best you usually get is the all access video from the last game until the team releases interviews the day before the game.  Otherwise listen to Seeing Red haha.

MLS is chartering flights to get players back from international duty and avoid quarantine.

Serious question:
 
What if a team has enough COVID cases that would have caused postponement/cancellation during the regular season? It has to be a forfeit, right?


About to find out?

If we're tied after 90 mins, does it go straight to PKs or is there extra time?
