    Just binged the first three episodes of Chernobyl on HBO. Very captivating and would highly recommend.

    Yep. To date we've played one of the toughest schedules in the league. Our last month in particular has been rough. @ NYRB (14th in Supporter's Shield standings) vs NYC (11th) @ Toronto (9th) vs LA Galaxy (2nd) vs DC (4th) vs Seattle (6th) But - at least at the moment - June through August...

    Another tie at home. Hard to be mad as we probably should've lost, and Seattle is a top-notch team. Anxious to stop playing the top teams in the league week in and week out and start finding ourselves against "lesser" opponents. This summer should be fun.

    We can use some of it to buy down Rodriguez's contract and free up a DP spot. I hope that's the case and we bring in a young defensive mid to learn from Ozzie and be ready to take his minutes next year, or a better defender than Eric Miller to play opposite Metanire, or an exciting young...

    Calvo is gone. Loons get $400k+ in allocation money in return. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/05/03/minnesota-united-trade-francisco-calvo-chicago-fire-allocation-money Can't say I'm surprised. Calvo was a defensive liability this year (to say the least), and his late red vs Toronto and...

    Yeah, Danladi needs to be a late sub. He has pace but his touch is awful. As far as getting midfield and forwards together and fixing the attack, it seems like partially that's the trade off we get for removing Calvo and putting Schuller where he is. We miss that pressure up the left side but...

    I wasn't there last night (split season tickets) but I can't imagine I would've been. My seats are in section 4 by the Brew Hall.

    That sandwich is awesome. Not sure it's $14 awesome but the quality is high.

    Then the defense comes out and does that, and Quintero misses a bunny that should've given us a 1-0 victory. Who even knows with this team. A few things: Opara is so, so important to our success defensively. He needs to stay healthy if we're going to have a chance. Happy to have Molino...

    Tonight should be a decent barometer of progress. Sounds like the team is fired up right now, and back at home, it's time to show they can carry it over to the pitch. LAG is as hot as anyone in the league, but it's damn time we get some results at home against good teams. Crossing my fingers...

    Hell of a time at the opening game yesterday. The good: The stadium is gorgeous. The sight lines are incredible. The sound is exceptional. Watching a game there is a real treat. Public transit was surprisingly efficient getting in and out. The food and beer was delicious. The not-so-good...

    Can't wait. Even if it's going to be 40 degrees with six inches of snow on the ground, it's going to feel so good to have the Loons in their new, packed, loud stadium.

    Love it. And frankly I think they might have a decent chance at 1 or 3 more before the home opener in mid-April with a trip to New England - who look not awesome so far - and a potentially Zlatan-less LA Galaxy this weekend. If they roll into the NYCFC game with nine points out of five road...

    Another road win! Loons now 2-0 on the year with a solid win over a bad San Jose team. Real test at LA next weekend!

    LOONS WIN! Metanire was a damn boss tonight. First road win against a Western conference opponent...ever. Feels damn good. COYL!

    When/where does the team come back home?

    Seriously considering driving over to campus to welcome the Axe back to the trophy case.
