So I haven't checked the tables or seen if anyone has already laid this out but after last night's Crew win we know Atlanta can't finish any higher than third, and will only accomplish that via tiebreaker. To do that we need someone to win the RB/FCC match; If those teams draw then Atlanta is out even if it beats Columbus. So an Atlanta win coupled with a Cincy loss is the best hope. Will check other tables and projections later today.
Season isn't over, in fact it has barely begun (assuming the season continues after this tournament, but I am starting to have my doubts). Jurgen Damm arrives in August, hopefully he brings a much needed spark. He was after all the fastest player in Liga MX. All we have to do is reach the playoffs, then anything is possible.
I think the whole thing gets canned as the country can't seem to get the virus under control. It is one thing to play a tournament in 'the bubble' and another to have teams crisscrossing the country to play matches. Wear your mask people, and wash your hands!
You're not alone. The big X factor is the status of different states. If some are open and others aren't then that limits MLS' options. (That's why all the leagues have gone to bubble sites.) Everyone was hoping that by the time this tourney was done they'd see a light at the end of the Covid tunnel and could put in place a plan for the next step.
