2019 MLS Schedule

They could do 40 teams without relegation... and if they ever get that big they will have 40 teams without relegation.

 

So 7 teams from each conference make the playoffs in 2019.

Here's looking at an 8th place Union team...though i can also see a higher finish but loss in the first round of a single elimination game...

 

With this new format, it's entirely possible the Union will never host a playoff game again. It's also possible that Atlanta will never play one on the road again. Just what the league wants!

 

The single round eliminations definitely make it harder for the Union to get a home playoff game. On the other hand it rewards regular season performance so I'm OK with it. It's good that they made the whole thing shorter, too.

 

ANY GIVEN WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON THE ROAD!!!!

It doesn’t flow quite as well but, I don’t know, it could be a rallying cry for the guy who gets Curtins July dead cat bounce?


Yeah, yeah, I’ll work on it.

 

Whatever your complaints are about the new MLS playoff format, it's still superior to the College Football Playoff format.

 

Second game away at SKC on March 10th. 3pm

 

Burr.

 

At least they had enough sense not to schedule it at night this year.

 

I find it weird that the league chose to kick off the season with a Union home game.

 

Maybe the Union are about to acquire a big name player and the league is going to highlight the season starting by advertising the game and the flashy new star.


Christmas is such a magical time of year when hope comes even to those tarnished by years of FO ineptitude. Of course it will probably be TFC with the big name but whatever.

 

That pretty much sums up the Union fan experience.

 

I'll be in Scotland for the first game. I don't think I'll miss much.

 

What do you mean? This is a must win game for the Union. (Where did I put that red pen?)

 

How the hell do you make a show out of a schedule release?

 

Ask the NFL, they've been doing it for years now.

 

Hmm 3 games I already know for sure I can’t make.. 1 I’ll be out of town, the other two I’ll be at weddings... writing really on the wall.. pretty sure I officially won’t reDoop and just go straight stub hub... if you guys are looking to move extra tickets this year at any point keep me in mind.

 

Orlando twice in 4 days? Why not?

 

Come visit the great white north. Run the Lake Waconia half with me. See the Union.

 

Only five home games in May, perfect for the time of year when nothing else is going on.
