:shrug:

I presume at least the Portland and Vancouver ones will.

Norwich and QPR are at their training facilities, not sure if either they or us will stream, I believe Portland will stream at least their game, not sure if they'll do the whole tournament or not though. The Fire may do theirs, not sure.

An unstreamed game at a training facility....so, those games pretty much don't exist lol.

Oh well, I'll tune in for a little bit for the Portland game and I guess we will find out if those other games are available. I've never watched an MLS preseason game, do starters get minutes? Do they play young guys?

Depends, IK SKC did 30 minute full team shifts so 33 players got time the other day.

I don't know how big of a deal these games are but allowing 0 goals in back to back games is a nice thing to see. Really hoping our D improves this season.

This was the goal by Amerikwa, and my god, you couldn't tell the difference if you replaced the defenders by 55 year olds.

Beats me, I don't know anybody on QPR but the Chicago Fire website had said this:

"The QPR lineup featured several members of the Premier League club’s First Team, with Alex McCarthy, Armand Traore, Eduardo Vargas, Adel Taarabt and Mauro Zarate all starting alongside Sandro, who stepped up his return from injury with 60 more minutes under his belt"

0-0 draw, caught stoppage time, Amarikwa had a late breakway and the goalie ran out but Quincy couldn't get around him and lost it instantly
