The San Jose Earthquakes got six days between games this week. What a treat.
Yes, the standard in MLS tends to be a game a week, with a handful of midweek games sprinkled in, plus some midweek games in other competitions.
Still, the general rule is a game a week. But not in 2020.
Instead, this season the coronavirus pandemic led to several months of no games, then a month of local tournament play in Orlando, then a couple weeks off, and now the current stretch, a sprint to the finish from late-August to the second week of November.
