Pretty much since news broke that 11 players were in health and safety protocols, Philadelphia Union fans starting calling on Major League Soccer to postpone the Eastern Conference final the Union ended up losing with a shorthanded squad.
That angst over the match being played hasn’t been aided by news of a Tottenham Europa Conference League match vs Rennes being called off for Covid-19 cases in the Hotspurs camp. Fans have also pointed out to other cases of matches being rescheduled in other sports leagues because of Covid-19 outbreaks but according to a report in the Philadelphia Inquirer that was never on the table for Sunday’s game.
