I don't fucking understand Lilly Yohannes. Messi's greatness is all in controlling the ball and using it to control his opponents and that looks like magic.

Yohannes, I think, plays soccer in a way that's going to help us figure out how to safely travel faster than light.
Yohannes + Macario = a problem.

I didn't yell enough, #MNUFC fans. i apologize
yelling at the TV is working . . . sometimes

There's the moment for #SDFC! Corey Baird gets to the byline and hoofs the ball back into the penalty area, a moment of hesitation from the #MNUFC defense, and Anders Dreyer blasts a shot into the top of the net.

San Diego leads 1-0 and the Loons need to find yet another comeback...

Match 🧵 | #SDvMIN

#MNUFC ‘s Starting XI has a familiar feel, with two changes from last time out. With Rosales suspended, Markanich gets the start at LWB.

Carlos Harvey makes his return to the XI for the first time in three months. Diaz is available from the bench tonight.

This Frost PP should give opponents the chills! 🥶
Both teams 0-for-1 on the power play.

Top unit for the Frost was its top line Hustler-Heise-Zumwinkle, plus center Petrie and D Stecklein.

Starbucks workers are striking against unfair labor practices, including here in Minneapolis!

Red Loons stand with these folks - every worker deserves a fair process and to negotiate with a partner in good faith.

Take your coffee cravings elsewhere for the duration of the strike!
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

It's do or die time in St. Paul. Win and you face San Diego or Portland in the second round. Lose and the season is over. Game three kicks off in 20 minutes and here are the lineups.

Two changes for #MNUFC (Yeboah to striker and Duggan to LCB) while #Sounders make no changes.

It's important to make friends in enemy territory.

Seriously though, i have met some great people regardless of geography or outlet in the press box.

I met @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com and he was the nicest ever. Also the coffee is kicking in and so I've decided Seattle is a great place to cover a game
