Concacaf Statement – Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League qualification for the winner of MLS Is Back tournament
Miami, FL (Wednesday, June 10, 2020) - Concacaf has approved a request from U.S. Soccer for a one-year alteration to the Federation's Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League spots to support the MLS Is Back tournament, which takes place in Orlando, USA in July.
The winner of the MLS Is Back competition will qualify for the 2021 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League (SCCL), regardless of whether it is a U.S. or Canadian club. This will replace the SCCL spot normally awarded to the MLS regular season points leader in the conference opposite the Supporters' Shield winner.
Concacaf agreed to grant U.S. Soccer's request, and to support MLS with their tournament, following positive conversations with Canada Soccer, and a commitment from MLS that if a Canadian team wins MLS Is Back it will compete in the Canadian Championship.
This decision has no bearing on Canada Soccer's qualification spot into the 2021 SCCL, which remains in place. Canada Soccer will continue discussions internally to determine the criteria of how they would recommend to qualify a Canadian club to the 2021 SCCL in the event that the same team wins the MLS Is Back tournament and the Canadian Championship. Such a recommendation would require Concacaf Council approval.

I would assume mainly to avoid the Florida heat, but that could also be a part of it.
US soccer just dropped the stand for anthem requirement and facebookers are shitting themselves.
Honestly, as an outsider looking in, I find it odd how it's played before every club game.

Same. Its so not necessary.
i saw a bit of the thorns game because i'm a christine sinclair stan
It's almost like they want this thing to turn into Fyre Fest 2.0 at this point. This tournament could have worked, but Orlando was a mistake.
I know it's a much smaller scale, but I'm all on board with the NWSL Challenge Cup in Utah. It's already been worth a month of CBS all access to watch, and it's only going to get better from here.

LAFC's Vela out of MLS restart for pregnant wife
LAFC forward Carlos Vela is out of the MLS is Back Tournament in order to stay home with his pregnant wife.
Yeah, this whole thing is a mess and they were better off not doing itLAFC's Vela out of MLS restart for pregnant wife

Yeah. Im having second thoughts. I know TFC delayed their trip cause a couple tested positive. Just not the right time.
Meanwhile, the Premier League season resumption seems to be going off without a hitch and Pulisic has been one of Chelsea's best players since the restart. He has even been drawing comparisons to Eden Hazard from many fans and media members.
He has scored twice for Chelsea since the restart (including the below amazing run and finish) but he has also drawn two PKs and a free kick just outside the box, all of which resulted in goals. And he has generally been involved with many of the promising Chelsea attacks and been named MotM three times.
I'm really happy for him, getting this chance to come back from a long layoff and contribute in a meaningful way. I just hope the WCQs can get scheduled and played someday soon, even if they have to happen outside of the US, to see if he can't keep up this form while in a USMNT kit.

NISA kicked back off last night with a couple matches and I'm biting my nails. I want to see my club come back SO BAD but I also DO NOT WANT THEM PLAYING because of the situation but if they don't bring in money this year things will be stupid hard for them going forward. It's such a fucked situation.
It's kinda going on. It's Copa Del Mexico. 8 teams who were the top 8 of the 2 halves of the season before everything halted.
Interesting.
Yeah, for the life of me i cant fathom why the MLS would choose a tourney in Florida. I get it. They wanna recoup some money. But of all places, Florida?
That was before all hell broke loose. The plan was back in April but the boom was in June.
NHL was the only league to change course and move to Canada.
MLS and NBA ended up in Florida because of ESPN/Disney. MLS especially is trying to work closely with them because of the need for a big TV deal in the coming years.
Even so though if they know that Florida would be like this at the moment I bet they would have gone somewhere else

Was hoping Portland and Galaxy would draw so that LAFC would remain level in the group but Galaxy getting spanked defensively right now. Also it goes without saying but Chicharito ain't no Zlatan.
He's good and he's got an chance to feast especially playing with Pavon but Zlatan was just something else. He put the fear of god in me as an opposing fan playing against MLS comp.
Pavon scares me much more than Chicharito on that team. He's so good with the ball.
Zlatan, that man had the skill and the guts to do the impossible. He's one of those players who, if you ever give him an inch, will pull off the craziest shit you've ever seen.
It was the skill + his size, even at that advanced age. MLS defenders had no idea how to deal with that shit. It was like a QB throwing to prime Randy Moss just throw that shit up to him and he would figure out how to bring it down.
