I'm not somebody who makes a lot of money so I have to prioritize my spending. While it would definitely be nice to see a home match in our inaugural MLS season, I may opt to wait until we're in our new stadium. I like what we're doing with the slow build up and no DPs right now.

I'll be at the first game. I do think it's lame as hell they will be playing at TCF and can't wait for the new stadium. Catching games in Blaine got me hooked.

I don't like at all how they are building the roster though. Kallman and Davis aren't MLS calibre defenders and I don't see Ramirez working at the MLS level at all. He relies entirely on his team to create chances for him and the windows for those chances are much smaller at the MLS level. The midfield should be decent though...

And the 2017 MLS season is under way.

That foul that set up the first goal was a horrible call. We're fortunate to only be down 1 though at half.

So MLS gets two expansion teams this year, Minnesota and Atlanta, both with the name United....When there is already DC United.

Wonder if the next NFL expansion team is going to be the Patriots or next NBA team is going to be the Lakers.

what is Minnesota United's logo? what kind of bird is that suppose to be?

That's a loon, which is the state bird (despite claims up here, like the mentioned on the broadcast Friday, that it's the mosquito).

The thing I wish the MLS did more of was getting away from this Europeification shit with all of the names of teams.

Everything is United now.
Everything is FC now.
Everything is SC now.
Real this, Real that.

Just name the fucking teams with names. Mascots. On that, I love the Portland Timbers colors/name/atmosphere. That entire brand is awesome.

Bring back the Wizards. Bring back the Metrostars or promote the Cosmos.


Oh well, I'll be at the artificially turfed football stadium for the United match on Sunday.

Minnesota United match, needed to clarify...

Going to see TFC at Vancouver Whitecaps, on Saturday. I love this 1pm start because it means I can go watch the game and come back on the ferry later on the same evening, without having to shell out bucks for a hotel and whatnot.

Considering the weather, I'm surprised they let our match kickoff. We've shown flashes of promise, but there's a lot of work to do.

Game was amazing to be at, but like I said before the season, this team is absolute trash and the results are proving that correct.

Holy balls, those first two disastrous results must have killed ticket sales.

I just got an email for thanking me for attending the opener and as a thank you I get the chance to buy cheaper tickets to the next home game... for $5.
