WMU's Brandon Bye experiences life in MLS 'bubble' while gaining increased role in third season with New England Revolution

Former Western Michigan soccer standout Brandon Bye recently got to experience what life was like in a “bubble.”

Major League Soccer (MLS), just recently finished its tournament that went from July 8 to Aug. 11 and featured 24 of its 26 teams after two of its teams had to drop out pre-tournament due to COVID-19 outbreaks (Dallas FC and Nashville FC).

Aside from the early outbreaks, the tournament in Orlando turned out to be an overall success that saw little issues after it got going, as the Portland Timbers defeated Orlando SC on Tuesday to wrap up the tournament.
