The international break’s here, which means no game, which means we get to talk about some random shit.
1) Let’s start with a hot take: I think MLS should play through the international breaks. Not just a few teams, all the teams. International breaks should be treated just like any other week.
Would teams be weakened from all the players they’re missing due to national teams? Yeah, sure. But that just means they’d have to lean on their benches. Play their kids. See what kind of depth they’ve got. The teams with good depth would do fine, the teams with bad depth wouldn’t.
