It seems early in the season to say this, but this truly is a must-win for Minnesota. Playing the three expansion sides in order, two points in two matches isn’t enough. Those dropped points will sting later in the year, but a win today can help remedy that.
2-1 Minnesota.
As I’ve been writing about in the Power Rankings, all the top teams are winning every match at home. So just to stay even with NY, Indy, Edmonton, we can’t afford to drop any more points at the NSC.
Where there’s ground to be gained is on the road. But that’s a challenge for next week.
I wholeheartedly agree, but as the match thread resident doom sayer: I’m afraid we’ll get dinged by an utterly anamolous fluke like an odd bouncing goal kick. 1-0 Miami
I know it was a deflected shot, and bounced awkwardly, but Ceus really has to save that. It was tricky, but it wasn’t hard.
