Major League Soccer Regular Season Results 2020 [Ref: 3]

Report

After two weeks of the regular season, the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic caused the cessation of all sporting activity after 9 March 2020. After a four month layoff, the restrictions were lifted, and Major League Soccer decided to start over in six groups of four, roughly arranged geographically, keeping the Eastern and Western Conferences, with each sub-divided into three groups of four.

The League restarted on 7 July 2020, and teams will play home and away within their own group, before the playoffs.

About

Major League Soccer has been the United States Soccer Federation Officially-recognised Division 1 League since 1996, and is the Top Level in the US Soccer Pyramid and the equivalent of the English Premier League in English Soccer.

Report

There were two professional soccer leagues in North America in 1967, both attempting at the same time to bring Pro Soccer to USA & Canada. The United Soccer Association was the FIFA-sponsored league and featured teams from Europe and South America guesting as North American teams over a Summer Schedule in between their normal Winter schedules. It included Shamrock Rovers (playing as Boston Rovers) and Glentoran (playing as Detroit Cougars). The other league was the National Professional Soccer League, and after the season the two leagues merged in 1968 to form the North American Soccer League which lasted until 1984.

Among the Rovers players over in Boston were Liam Tuohy, Frank O’Neill, Paddy Mulligan, Davy Pugh ad Tommy Kelly.

The side also included Carlos Metidieri, A Brazilian-born USA International, as gueat player, and his younger brother, Gilson.

After the merger with the NPSL, the Boston Rovers side became the Boston Beacons, a team in its own right, but kept the link with Shamrock Rovers. Paddy Mulligan was loaned out to the Beacons side in 1968 by Shamrock Rovers, but most of the team returned, and the side lost its mainly Irish make-up. [Reference: 4]
