PORTLAND, Ore. – The nature of sports leagues lend themselves to parallels.
You play the game on a regular basis, by the same rules, and over the span of players’ careers, they often compete against the same opponents. The teams in leagues may change, as do the cities and venues, but only slightly. Over the course of a player’s career, those largely stay the same, too. Even the schedules, designed to balance the practical and competitive, leave people saying, “It feels like we’ve been here before.”
Such will be the case Sunday at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia in the MLS Decision Day presented by AT&T match (1:30pm PT, ROOT SPORTS).
