    Also, the third place team in group A gets automatically qualified (which probably would have happened anyways).

    Vermes talked about it on the radio the other day. I think he said, you can schedule 3 friendlies but your team has to be quarantined for a week on campus before you can play them. San Jose is the first to arrive today. Don’t think I’ve seen a schedule for all the arrivals. I know Sporting isn’t planning on any friendlies and will arrive exactly 7 days before their first match.

    Wow, DonG’s really pulling out all the stops for these guys:

    “Each team — many of which will have their own floor in the hotel — will have three entertainment rooms available to them: one for cards, one for ping-pong and one for video games. Each team also has one golf and fishing outing available for free to the entire squad. Additional golf and fishing outings will likely be available but, if they are, they will likely come at cost to the participants. Other potential entertainment options for players include cooking classes and paddle boats in the resort’s on-site lake.”

    Stejskal also says that the WiFi is already slow and crashing with just SJ and Orl there so far.
