Group E starts up with a keynote matchup of the MIB, Atlanta United and New York Red Bulls, although NY has the upper hand thus far at 5-1-2, when it counted they did not deliver, losing in the playoffs to the team that went to take the MLS crown. Such a game, like the past 6 meetings must be before a national audience at 8 p.m. ET Sat. eve on FOX, following in their group at 10:30 on FS1 are Columbus & Cincinnati, all from the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. These 2 Eastern Conference powerhouses have not met in just over year, a 3-3 tie in the ATL July 7, 2019.

Scant hours after a media Zoom session with HC Peter Vermes where he stated his players do trainging , eat, lift etc., then are back to their rooms, to reduce exposure, being more careful with the pair of teams left out of the MIB games, one of his own has had his 2nd positive test, such a shame. These results are on the heels of the two straight days after arrival in Orlando and the 5 total days of testing since they got there. Thankfully the rest of those with the team are negative. All of them will now be tested every day for 2 weeks, their game with MInnesota at 7 p.m.
