Heh. I forgot we have a cross-over football thread.
Since I've last posted I've been hired by MLS to be a League Observer, and now get paid to attend Crew games. Life is socially distant good.

The Crew has been an enigma for me this year. One of the Best Record at Home (8-1-0), and Haven't won a game on the road (0-5-5.) How is that conceivable?

What do we move into next, if that's even been decided?  I know they messed with the WC qualifying format.  Did the semi of the Nation's League just get cancelled?

the finals got moved to march 2021 then again to june 2021. https://www.concacafnationsleague.com/en/article/concacaf-nations-league-finals-rescheduled-for-june-2021

the 2021 schedule is packed.

march - wcq rd 1 (2 days of games)
june - nations league semis and finals
july (10-21) - gold cup
july (23-??) - olympics (not for sure yet)
2021 tbd (oct-nov) - wcq rd 2 (2 days of games)
2021-2022 tbd (nov-mar) - wcq rd 3 (14 days of games, at least that's whats on schedule)

the world cup in 2022 being in winter is actually turning out to be a good thing, giving more time for qualifying. still hate it though.

I'd rather play it in winter than expand it to 48

Columbus Crew are playing in the Eastern Conference Finals this Sunday. I'll be there. (They've nicknamed me the Covid - enforcer.)

Pretty amazing turnaround to go from being relocated to one of the top teams in the league.

I believe Sporting thought the game was today and not last night.

Apparently the Loons had a 2-0 lead in the 75th minute and lost in regulation.

Kind of strange how the East has 14 teams this year while the West only has 12, but looking at their expansion plans brings it a little bit of clarity. Looks like the East will get Charlotte, while the West gets Austin, Sacramento and St Louis; resulting in two 15-team divisions.

I'll be there too.

If you want, PM me your seats and I'll swing by to say hi.

Announced 2 staters (Santos and Nagbe) for the Crew have Covid-19.
