As of now, this is only for the September international window, but could very easily continue into October.

Costa Rica, Mexico and Panama are included on the list.

It means we would not have Pulisic, Steffen and Sargent for Panama in October.

Doesn't look like we'd actually be affected until October 10 @ Panama. Mexico and Costa Rica are both home games in Oct/Nov. Could definitely be worse, assuming this extends into October

Good news is that it means Mexico won't have Jimenez and our MLS team already beat that Mexico.

Why would that affect US players? We aren't a red listed country.

9/2 @ El Salvador - clear
9/5 Canada - clear
9/8 @ Honduras - clear
10/7 Jamaica- clear
10/10 @ Panama - trouble
10/13 Costa Rica - clear


So 1 potential issue but we should be able to beat Panama without our PL boys.

La Liga says they will support their clubs who block players as well...though they only mention CONMEBOL

After seeing all the piles of dead athletes' bodies, further restrictions like this only make sense

Poli board is that way big dawg.

This isn’t about death, this is about EPL not wanting its best players needing to miss matches because of England’s mandated quarantining process. Take off the tin foil hat and approach things analytically.

we would see there is no need for these guys who are vaccinated and young and fit to not be able to play for their countries

Josef Martinez had heart problems after catching it at the Copa America.

FIFA has already said they will fight this and sanction teams that refuse to release players.
