The harsh penalty from Serie A to Napoli that worries MLS teams

There are more and more matches that the MLS is forced to reschedule due to positive Covid infections. In Italy, Napoli could not appear to play against Juventus and instead of rescheduling the game, they gave the victory to Juventus. In addition to the points from that match, Serie A decided to take one more point from Napoli for breaking league protocol.

The MLS still does not know how to solve the game rescheduling problems since there are fewer and fewer dates left to play those games. One of the ideas they are thinking about now is to copy Serie A and consider the game of the team that cannot be presented for lost. MLS is ending the regular season and they want there to be a champion.

Colorado Rapids is one of the teams most concerned in MLS with these types of penalties. Colorado Rapids has been unable to play a game for over a month due to Covid cases within their team. Now the last notice of the MLS was that for 10 days the team will not be able to train and must comply with mandatory quarantine. Another team that could be harmed by any of these penalties is the Columbus Crew.

At the moment the MLS has said that they will try to reschedule the games but they have fewer days to do it. Another idea is that instead of only points being taken into account, the places in the table are chosen by an average of games played by games won. The MLS has already taken note of what happened in Serie A and we only have to wait to see if they decide something like that.
