With the Mickey Mouse COVID Cup MLS is Back Tournament winding down, the time has come for Major League Soccer to start plotting out its next move — resuming the regular season. Yesterday, Steven Goff of the Washington Post published a story with the league’s plans to move forward. And it’s sure to be controversial.
Current plans for MLS play to resume would include every team playing in their own markets as opposed to in a centralized location, a similar model to what the MLB is doing right now. The season would start with Nashville SC and FC Dallas — two teams that contracted COVID-19 (coronavirus) and were unable to play in the MLSIB Tournament — playing each other twice between August 12-15, with the first full weekend of games to be played around August 21.
