What: DC United (1-1-0, 3 pts) vs Toronto FC (1-0-1, 4 pts) Where: ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex When: Sunday, July 12, 9:00 AM Why: Because we haven't seen them play in FOUR months. It's like a second offseason, without the drama and anxiety over who we didn't sign. How to watch: ESPN2 Odds: (In honor of our new MLS sponsor): Tor -127, DC United +346, Draw + 287 For some reason, this game counts for the regular season. I'd imagine we would play the same lineup we rolled out against Inter Miami. Hamid Canouse-Brillant-Birnbaum-Mora Moreno-Martins Flores-Gressel-Asad Kamara
Prediction: DCU - 2 Toronto - 1 Covid - 1 Love a day with DCU soccer and NASCAR when the times don't overlap
I had to look up the United roster to reacquaint myself with some of our newer players. I kept thinking "Who are those guys?"
Well the Formula One race (Styrian Grand Prix) and DCU are at the same time. DCU loses to racing every time. Sorry. I'll DVR and watch DCU (probably lose) and Toronto later.
Welp.... DC United 0, Toronto FC 0, COVID-19 > 0 D.C. United match vs. Toronto FC is on hold and is expected to be postponed. Teams are on site at stadium. Positive tests. Erik Sorga was not on the game-day roster, despite not being injured. Details to come ...— Steven Goff (@SoccerInsider) July 12, 2020
This "tournament" gets stupider and stupider by the day. It might be a little less stupid if it wasn't being held in the petri dish of Florida. It's going to come down to last team standing -- by which, we mean last team that's still able to test negative.
well, one "not-negative" is that now I could watch the F1 race without having to use a second monitor.... and Ferrari are looking more and more like the MLS of F1....ugh
I've switched to Marbula-E. Complete with Jack Nicholls, the principal English-language commentator for Formula-E. More exciting and no COVID issues.
