I agree with the KC goalie on this point. Contending teams are especially hurt by scheduling MLS matches during the international window.

“First of all, I think it’s completely ridiculous that there is a game today when the U.S. Men’s National Team is playing,” Nielsen said. “The team should be able to play their best players and the fans should be able to see the best players.”
“We are losing two of our best players for a huge game. We were fighting the whole season to get into the playoffs and with three games left we are missing our two best players because of a national team game. I think its ridiculous there’s a game today. I’m very upset about it, it’s very disappointing.”
