Orlando, FL - Showrunners and writers of the MLS Is Back tournament leaked to The Nutmeg News that they are encouraged to be, “As drunk as possible,” when writing storylines for this season.
Now, let’s get started with the morning meeting…. who has a bottle of Jack Daniels and who has a bottle of Cognac?
“Oh yeah, it’s been absolutely off the rails this time,” stated one source. “We knew that it was going to be a different season when we wrote off Dallas and Nashville in the pilot. That really set the tone.”
According to the details of leaked notes, the showrunners and writers started spit-balling ideas early about the composition of the tournament.
“What if Atlanta loses and Orlando wins? That’s the kind of twist our audience has been waiting to see.”
“Can we get Brek Shea back? Anyone know his agent? Let’s see if he is available and give him a few goals in the second act!”
“How about one of those comeback from nowhere games where we twist the knife on the VanStans while simultaneously doing a deus ex machina on San Jose. It’s a two for one and the fans will never see it coming!”
According to our source, the showrunners are planning on some spectacular plot twists in the knock out round leading to a climactic battle in the semi-finals before finishing with an ultimately unsatisfying attempt at closure in the finale.
“It’s going to be like Game Of Thrones,” stated our source. “Except instead of dragons and unfulfilled side quests about family swords we have Frank de Boer living up to the legacy of Tata Martino and side quests about trying to make Orlando into the sympathetic tournament pick.”
