Matchday Twenty-Four: Minnesota Battles To Ugly Point On The Road, With Big Elephant In The Stadium
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchday Twenty-Four: Minnesota Battles To Ugly Point On The Road, With Big Elephant In The StadiumHappily for much of Minnesota’s time in MLS, there has been surprisingly little drama. Sure the team may have been bad and players have come and gone, but there’s rarely been a behind-the-scenes soap opera that other teams seem to attract. But this week was different. Days after sending beloved striker Christian Ramirez to LAFC,…

Matchday Twenty-Three: Late Gut Punch Dooms Loons, Raises Questions About Leadership
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchday Twenty-Three: Late Gut Punch Dooms Loons, Raises Questions About LeadershipThrough nearly ninety minutes, Minnesota United were in the process of eking out an undeserved but professional home victory over the Seattle Sounders. Then, in stoppage time, it all fell apart. With recriminations flying thick and fast over what increasingly looks like another season short of the playoffs, it’s time to return to some hard…

Matchday Twenty-Two: Road Woes Continue For Loons In Deflating Loss To Vancouver
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchday Twenty-Two: Road Woes Continue For Loons In Deflating Loss To VancouverEven thought their impressive three-game win streak catapulted Minnesota United back into surprising playoff contention, it came with a significant caveat: all the wins were at home.

Matchdays Twenty and Twenty-One: Minnesota Change The Narrative With Two Important Wins, One Big Week
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchdays Twenty and Twenty-One: Minnesota Change The Narrative With Two Important Wins, One Big WeekEven a year and a half on, Minnesota United have struggled to shed the first impression they gave in MLS.

Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchday Nineteen: Loons Continue Jekyll And Hyde Routine In Win Against Salt LakeThree points are three points, but what could’ve been a celebratory home win against Real Salt Lake ended on a sour note, with two late goals allowed that had Head Coach Adrian Heath steaming mad.

Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchdays Sixteen, Seventeen, and Eighteen: What Are The Loons Building?I was away on vacation the last two weeks, blissfully detached from the ups and downs (let’s face it, mostly downs) of following Minnesota United.
