    Hope is the first step towards disappointment.

    This is why all of us in MLS N&A forum are a disappointed bunch

    Colorado fans aren't known for being the most "rapid," if you know what I mean ...

    NHL announces 43 positive tests as league moves towards August 1 restart

    I believe this is the most for any American league planning a restart.

    Yes, this is the primary problem. For better or for worse, a lot of Americans don’t like being tracked like this. Particularly not by government mandate.


    This is probably the time for it to happen. They will likely all be cleared by the time August 1 rolls around. The question is how they control the players with confirmed positive tests.

    19 pre-quarantine positives in the NBA, half the positives of the NHL at a similar testing point

    More advanced testing point I'd say. They are testing positive on their way to the bubble while the NHL just started training camps.

    I don’t get why regular season games have to wait until the tournament ends.

    You have FCD and Nashville who would probably be 100% healthy in a week who could at least play one game against each other.

    This way they’re not at a disadvantage having to cram 3 additional regular season games and having rust that their opponents won’t have as much as after the tournament ends.

    Yes, FC Dallas and Nashville should probably play a home and home series before the season restarts...

    but the season won't restart, so who cares?

    Does Orlando City have some kind of advantage because this tournament is all in Orlando?
