Yeah. Also thought it was odd he was wearing full USMNT garb and uniform.

I miss mummy Harrison.
Gregg is just a bubble kind of person.
Anyone else find the giant advertising boards and center field Adidas Logo a little depressing/dystopian/ominous?
The billboards aren't as bad as some stadiums with multiple light bars of advertising on the main camera shot. The Adidas logo is excessive.
FOX sucks at the crowd noises, NBC does it much better.
Toronto arrived later than other teams, so if I'm reading that statement correctly, I think they are saying that it's possible someone had it prior to entering the bubble and is just now potentially testing positive after the incubation period?
Regardless of whether the bubble is working or not, I really don't see how the in-market games will not be affected

I think you are reading that correctly. Toronto entered very late and this is at least possibly a pre-bubble infection.
I also agree with your assessment of in-market games. I predicted the bubble would work, though I'm less confident about that now, mostly because too many people showed up with infections (but let's see how it plays out). But regardless of how well the bubble works or not, MLS completely mishandled the pre-bubble protocols and unless they tighten things up post-bubble, then even if they get through the tournament I have extremely limited confidence about what happens afterwards. If you're going to play you need very strict protocols, not just for testing but for contact and behavior, and not just in the bubble but before and after. But the players balked at the restrictions and the league tried a looser system and it has not done well. Which is not to blame the players for not wanting the restrictions. I get that. But I do think it is an either/or choice: tight restrictions, or don't play. Together the league and the union opted for in-between and it has not worked.
In terms of buy-in from the players, it didn't help that the League came out of the gate with a bunch of threats about the players' contracts if they didn't agree to play the Let's Make Disney Happy tournament.
and I already said "Which is not to blame the players for not wanting the restrictions. I get that." Which was the next fucking sentence you excluded from your quote of me. What is the point of adding disclaimers and context if people ignore them in bad faith?
I'm... not attacking you, man. I was just adding to the conversation.
lol dafuq is the GK doing
FWIW, he was also down there to see his son make his professional debut.
This is a hockey goaltending move. When a player comes in on a breakaway you purposely stay out of position to show them an opening and take it away at the last second. The big difference here is the size of the goal and the speed of the player. Not the brightest move.
Turns out DCU-Toronto was worth the wait.
Brillant scores the equalizer for DC at 90+1.
