Ya gotta feel for Tucker. He thought Trump would be a much more heinous white power soul killer.

It's kind of wild to think about a coach who won MLS cups with two different teams could be such a disaster

Reusse: After Dayne St. Clair left, Loons found quality goalkeeper in Drake Callender The California-raised goalie has adjusted to the early cold with the Loons, who enter Saturday’s game on a hot streak.

Drake Callender is in Minnesota to be the real deal

Monster goal by Yeboah from Chancalay from Pereyra! 💥⚡️💥

@barrettmadden.bsky.social Well, Chancalay with his 3rd quality game in a row, and tonite was his best yet.

Loons win after ‘ridiculous’ 12 rounds of penalty kicks in U.S. Open Cup Minnesota United went 10 dramatic rounds in a penalty kick shootout to advance past Seattle Sounders in the MLS Cup Playoffs last November. In the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday, the Loons outdid themselve...

"RIDICULOUS!"

#MNUFC goes 12 rounds of penalty kicks to outlast Sacramento Republic in U.S. Open Cup round of 32; it harkens to #Loons' 10-round PK win over Seattle in #MLSCupPlayoffs last year.

Neal: Tony Sanneh is a Soccer Hall of Famer whose most important contribution is off the pitch After a career that started at St. Paul Academy, Sanneh will go into the National Soccer Hall of Fame on May 1.

Loved this story from @stribsports.startribune.com (I'd tag La Velle but I'm not sure he's on this app):

Matt Crocker built U.S. Soccer's future — then left for Saudi Arabia 2 months before the World Cup Just two months before the World Cup, Matt Crocker is stepping down as the U.S. Soccer's sporting director after three years to work for the Saudi Arabian federation.

My column on Matt Crocker leaving U.S. Soccer and how the USMNT’s World Cup performance will reflect on him …

Speaking with people with knowledge, Javier Mascherano’s decision was all his own and a complete surprise to everyone @ Inter Miami.

Absolutely shocking.

CF Montreal has fired head coach Marco Donadel

I wasn’t planning to admit until later that I’m at Stade Saputo, but I am, and the word is going around that Marco Donadel has been dismissed.

We’ll see if that becomes official soon.

Now, that I understand

I got an ad on Instagram today for this new Minnesota United item!!!!!

WTF?

A circle, like a wheel, provides motion! Who woulda known.

👍

Its that simple sometimes. Real leadership matters! A guy that players want to follow.

USMNT's Patrick Agyemang suffers serious Achilles injury, will miss World Cup The 6-foot-4 forward will undergo further evaluation and remain sidelined indefinitely.

Details:

Its even worse than calling the LAFC stadium "downtown Los Angeles"

@barrettmadden.bsky.social I thought of you the other night when Chancalay had his first quality game for Minnesota

Hahahaha. That's perfect

Why do I see so many references to the new @InterMiamiCF stadium being in "Downtown Miami"??

It's 5-6 miles west of downtown Miami, right next to the airport?

WTF? Do they think we are dumb and can't read a map?

Like a fuckin pelican! Nice!

Well, that was PFG from the Loons tonight in a win at the Galaxy

Several players really stepped up for the first time all season, and everyone on the field held consistent and strong

How did you prepare your meal?

Oh, I think "the best" shows up at every level, you just have to be ready to take it all in and laugh, cry, throw shit at the TV, jump up and down. But college is always an option!
