Love this Union team. Have talked + written about them a ton. But the real story of that game was Chicago's implosion, so that's what we focused on!
Their game was also on Sat, a full three days before our TSS chat about them released, so we knew it wouldn't be top of mind for many listeners.

Other teams face a tight turnaround, too. LAFC and Austin only get 3 days rest.
MLS has allowed competitive imbalance to run rampant in the playoffs which it didn’t have to.
Also makes games much harder for the average fan to look forward to — zero natural cadence to the Round One schedule.
