Matchday Thirty Two: Even The Home Magic Is Now Dead, As Loons Sink To Season Low Against Colorado
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchday Thirty Two: Even The Home Magic Is Now Dead, As Loons Sink To Season Low Against ColoradoThe previous week’s 1-5 drubbing at the hands of Philadelphia felt like rock bottom for the floundering Loons. Then came this past weekend, where the team returned home and collapsed against a woeful Colorado Rapids team that had previously lost seven consecutive matches by a combined score of 1-22. That defeat sealed Minnesota’s 0-4 record…

Matchday Thirty One: Away From Home, Loons Embarrass Themselves On The Field, And On The Touchline
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchday Thirty One: Away From Home, Loons Embarrass Themselves On The Field, And On The TouchlineOn the road, against a Philadelphia Union team on the upswing, the Loons were never going to be favorites. But even a sober observer probably didn’t anticipate the team’s complete and total capitulation. Minnesota was down 0-4 at half, and after a switch back to the 3-5-2 and a more relaxed approach from the hosts,…

Matchday Thirty: The Results Don’t Matter, But The Loons Are Still Putting On A Show At Home
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchday Thirty: The Results Don’t Matter, But The Loons Are Still Putting On A Show At HomeFor the second straight week at home, the Loons pulled in another three points. The club now sits with 36 points on the season, as many as they achieved last year. With four games to go, including two final matches at TCF Bank Stadium, the nightmare scenario of no year-on-year improvement will likely not come…

Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchdays Twenty-Nine: Back At Home, Loons Return To Better FormLike turning a light switch on, Minnesota United played at home for the first time in a month on Saturday, and suddenly looked like a relatively competent team. On the back of three first half goals, the Loons set the Timbers on ice. But a second half to forget saw the visitors rally back with…

Matchdays Twenty-Seven and-Twenty Eight: Loons’ Long National Road Trip Nightmare Is Over
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchdays Twenty-Seven and-Twenty Eight: Loons’ Long National Road Trip Nightmare Is OverIt’s easy to forget that Minnesota started their recent stretch of seven games, six of which were on the road, riding high on a crest of optimism.

Matchdays Twenty-Five and-Twenty Six: Horrible Road Trip Continues, With Losses In Frisco And Kansas City
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchdays Twenty-Five and-Twenty Six: Horrible Road Trip Continues, With Losses In Frisco And Kansas CityThe late summer stretch of five straight away games was always going to test the Loons.
