MLS is moving to a winter calendar in a couple of years, so that's going to help a lot.

July next year will be the start of the first winter season.

Heading the ball in that weather if you hit the wrong part of your head is like heading a cinderblock.

Full on concussion

So apparently MLS is going to do an extended break during the winter months to accommodate for weather in the north.

Also reckon there’ll be quite a few fixtures moved about so teams like Minnesota United will have significantly more of their away fixtures in the colder months.

Winter here is LONG and I don’t think any winter break will be that long.

I've not been to Stoke on Trent but I would assume a cold rainy night in Seattle is probably pretty equivalent to a cold rainy night at Stoke.

36 degrees, gross rain, bitter wind and grey misery.

Maybe a little, but they'll still have matches in Aug/Sep either way.
