MLS needs international breaks!

In Johnson, City are losing their first choice goalkeeper. In both Chanot and Callens, NYCFC will be without one of the best center back duos in the league. And though Matarrita has had somewhat of an inconsistent season — and only has one international game to play — he is obviously Domé Torrent’s go-to guy at left back and integral to the system that the Blues have implemented in 2019.
