Matchdays Seventeen: Hope For The High Road
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchdays Seventeen: Hope For The High RoadWhen we last left off with Minnesota United, back at the start of the month, the club was reeling off the back of three straight league defeats. An embarrassing mess in Atlanta. A gun punch at home against Philadelphia. Worst of all, an ugly display in Colorado. The club was notably struggling on offense, and…

Matchday Thirteen: Joy At Home For Minnesota, After Productive Friendly, Narrow Win
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchday Thirteen: Joy At Home For Minnesota, After Productive Friendly, Narrow WinThe image that has stuck with me from Saturday night’s 1-0 Minnesota United win over the visiting Houston Dyanmo came a little while after the final whistle blew and the chorus from Wonderwall had been sung, when the last strains of the song were wafting through the loudspeakers.

Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Match Preview: Minnesota United FC vs. New England RevolutionMinnesota serves, as it often has, as a Rorschach test for fans to learn more about the latent beliefs they hold about the team and, probably, the entire world around them.

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 Eight: Better Lucky Than Good For Victorious Loons
Categories: NewsContinue Reading: Matchday Eight: Better Lucky Than Good For Victorious LoonsSoccer is a funny game, and it often breaks in unexpected ways.
