Call Up A Storm

Chancalay more like Chance(s) a plenty Recapping the season and home opener for MNUFC. 4 points is a good haul for a tough start to the campaign.

It’s interesting to see USL teams continuing to operate as though the season is happening as usual and the Players Association really positioning for a strike.

So who is the best Canadian keeper not in Florida right now? Asking for Jesse Marsch…

DSC needed to do better on the first goal, but this is just nasty from Orlando’s attack.

Still, tough night for the Canadian #1 when his opposite number — the Canadian #2 — is standing on his head.

Every situation is different, but the Loons don’t have a great record of keeping these short-term players involved after the roster crunch is over.

If Putt does end up signing a senior deal, I hope he fares better than Ewe, Mesanvi, et al. did

When the 2025 season ended, Loons fans had every right to believe they were headed into one of the most successful periods in club history.

As things stand today, three questions will determine whether that's still the case:

THE START OF EVERY JUVE SEASON: mckennie is on his way out, the manager doesn’t rate him, MLS return incoming?

AT SOME POINT AFTER THAT EVERY YEAR: il colosso di texas has done it AGAIN

For #MNUFC sickos looking for a USL team to follow this season, Rhode Island is now a good option!

This is going to end with me playing FM until my eyes bleed again, isn't it?

(It absolutely is)

I just said to myself "Man, I can't wait to see James play with Devin Padelford." Which is both true and a wild fever dream of a sentence.

Screenshot of text that simply reads "You are here: Home >> Tactical Theory >> Playing Styles"

I am back on my bullshit. This is a threat.

Percentage of #MNUFC related calls that include "Fuck ICE": 100% or merely 95%?

A screenshot of the ESPN article tile. The key image is the Inter Miami team hoisting MLS Cup and the article is titled "Can anyone stop Messi's Miami from going back-to-back?"

1) Betteridge's Law of Headlines

2) This framing is so annoying to me. The final between Vancouver and Miami was an exceptionally close game and VAN should be really good again. LAFC, SD, and FCC are all right there, too.

Is Miami great? Of course. Are they almost inevitable like PSG is? No.

Actually hitting publish on some stuff tonight, I swear...

Working on some longer thoughts on the James signing, but the one thing I'll say is that the club option for the last part of the contract makes this far more compelling than if it were a mutual option.

If he balls out and wants to go somewhere else, the Loons still get a cut, and that's great.

Every single game this year. Make them hear you

I know why it's there, but it's still weird to have PIF branding on a Club America/Olimpia match.

Like having the SEC put up a booth at the Minnesota State Fair

Hell yeah, this means #MNUFC is getting….

More GAM!

Vamooooooooooos!!

Ramsay leaving is perhaps the biggest blow #MNUFC have ever suffered off the field.

Two questions I can’t shake:

1) I wonder if the team got cheap on him and, if so, why

2) I wonder how much the ICE crackdown greased the skids for him to leave

While this is definitely good news, Manchester United’s sudden coaching vacancy poses a much more serious threat to the Loons than Chelsea’s/Strasbourg’s did.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is the sign of a done Dayne deal…

This was the first season since he played for Wellington in 2014-2015 that Michael Boxall recorded both a goal and an assist.

It took nine years, but for the first time since joining MLS, Minnesota United enters the offseason with a winning record in league play: 113-68-112 #MNUFC

Nectarios Triantis makes his international debut for Greece, subbing on in the 64th minute #MNUFC

#MNUFC are MLS' biggest underdogs in game 2. I think SEA wins, but the level of confidence oddsmakers and pundits have that it's a LOCK is puzzling.

I wouldn't bet much, but if you think Seattle overextends themselves chasing the game, you could do worse than a parlay of MN outright and under 1.5

Fun with arbitrary endpoints:

Loons record when attempting 350 passes or fewer: 11-2-3
Loons record when recording 450 touches or fewer: 8-0-1

#MNUFC

That’s about as composed a finish as you’ll see. Haji Wright looking as good as we’ve seen a #USMNT striker look in a minute.

Chris Richards is ready to be captain and the public face of the team.
