Worth noting that of our 7 games so far, 6 have been against teams in the top half of the standings, including 4 games against the top 3 in the East. Our next 4 games are all against teams in the bottom half.
2020 Schedule Thread
- Thread starter mgarbowski
- Start date
Head of CONCACAF said on Wednesday night that they're trying to do a bubble for all the CCL teams still in it to finish the tournament. I think that's got to work in our favor some, since I think the only places being considered are in the US.
Even if it was put in mexico, I'm just wondering whether we have the will-power and strength team-wise to overcome the 0-1 defeat
i think it's been long enough that the defeat is out of our heads and the latest streak of wins (and hopefully continued streak of wins) will help us with the confidence. plus tigres is not doing so great after their restart
That seems crazy difficult with scheduling. Would we even want to enter that bubble with our deficit?
Missed this when it came out, but Montreal appears headed to RBA for Phase Two. So that's four teams, counting Toronto.
Impact ready for rematch with TFC, but next phase weighs on players
"We might have to go across the border and do another bubble, which obviously nobody wants," Montreal midfielder Samuel Piette says.
How is this going to work? Two teams scheduled at "home" for the weekends, with the four teams rotating through the midweek slots? All four could play at RBA with doubleheaders on both Saturday and Sunday, obviously, but that seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

Yankee Stadium may have better grass for soccer than RBA this season...
Certainly will starting in October the way the Yankees are playing.

Have they announced how many games total will be played? Need to treat each game like it’s the last phase.
seems so due to scheduling conflict with RBA i guess.
didn't see that in either of the links i posted. i am thinking that we're going to go into the playoffs with no interconference matches due to travel complications, but that's just a guess.
If it lets us make up for the shitty record we have against them at their place, i'm all for it
considering the final is on dec. 12 and assuming we have an average of 5 days rest between each roudn of playoffs, that gives us about 7.5 (~52 days) weeks of games from the start of october. we have been playing 2 or 3 games every 10 days so that gives us about 10-15 games remaining + the 4 we have yet to play.
it would be really strange if we play all remaining games within the same conference. but with everything happening right now from covid to wild fires, scheduling inter conference matches will be difficult unless they allow all teams to fly chartered flights to reduce risk and scheduling problems.

They said there were going to be a total of 18 games back in markets. So this is now 9 games scheduled, then another 9 games are yet to be scheduled. Decision Day is Nov. 8.
I also think they said it was going to be intra-conference only this season because they want to limit travel -- it sounds like road teams have been traveling day-of to limit hotel stays, etc.
Remaining schedule released.
Interesting to note that our home game against red bulls is still "Location TBD" so it most likely won't be red bull arena.
