Matchdays Fourteen, Fifteen, and Sixteen: At A Loss
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchdays Fourteen, Fifteen, and Sixteen: At A LossI am running out of things to say about Minnesota United. Part of that is due to summer doledrums. The team’s composition has been stable, there are no gaping holes in the roster, or egregious line-up decisions being made week after week.

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.

Match Preview: Houston Dynamo vs. Minnesota United FC
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Match Preview: Houston Dynamo vs. Minnesota United FCFor just about the entire season, Minnesota United has been unlucky. Shots that could have gone in did not, individual errors in defense were punished with goals rather than swept up and forgotten, and defensive injuries have meant a revolving door in the backline.

Matchday Fifteen: Loons Embarrassed In Last-Second Loss To Awful Colorado
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchday Fifteen: Loons Embarrassed In Last-Second Loss To Awful ColoradoYou’ve heard the adage that ‘good teams make their own luck.’ A team like Atlanta gets so many penalties and cards on the opposition simply by putting them pressure. In contrast, Minnesota are proving the reverse is true, that bad teams make their own bad luck. In Colorado, against a team that would struggle to…
