It looks like Bruce Arena will be able to narrow his focus to just Eastern Conference opponents when it comes to MLS regular season play.
The 2020 season will forever be a moment where soccer in the United States changed. Due to COVID, MLS descended all the way to Disney to get their season started and once clubs were able to return to their home stadiums (well most of them), clubs played a select number of teams.
That has continued in 2021 as the New England Revolution will only play two Western Conference opponents this season.
