I'd like to buy hotels on Park Place and Broadway, please. As long as we are hoarding funny money. #MNUFC
Seems like best the estimate from folks who track these things more closely than I do has Minnesota United closing in on...

Novel idea to end this bullshit on corner kicks...
Before the kick, anbody IDed as grappling (takes 2 to tango), both players have to leave the penalty area and are not permitted to re-enter it until the ball hits the ground or is touched by a player. Over and over again until the PA is empty.

No longer care what people think of Gallagher as a player. His dog is reason enough to sign him. #COYS
Gallagher getting off private plane with family..... including cute doggo
Wasn't sure if it was a dog or a bear to be honest.

Watching 8 minutes of HS varsity hockey for the first time in 3 years and it is quite clear the xG revolution has not hit this sport.

Honest to effing God... this is the kind of midfield signing that #MNUFC really could have used. Completely unimpressed how we have spent the winter thus far just plugging leaks in the dike and not necessarily improving.
🇺🇸 Sources: New England Revolution closing in on a deal to acquire USYNT winger Griffin Yow from Westerlo.
Fee just over $400k I'm told. Deal agreed but needs to be finalized.
Yow, 23, is a product of D.C. United's academy. Blossomed at Westerlo.

One part of me says "This would be like the only reason I would be on board with sacking Frank right now" and then the other part of me slaps my face and says "Alonso would take one look at the clown show at WHL and say 'No thanks.' " #COYS

It warrants mentioning that a few years of loans where he could get playing time was the same way #MNUFC developed Dayne St. Clair. I think the club believes he is the long term GK.

#COYS I didn't even care if we won or lost that game. With all the injuries, we need more games like we need a hole in the head.
But I would, for just once this season, like to see the team come show the fight and work rate it showed in the 2nd half for a full 90 minutes.
Keep playing the kids.

Kinda at the point where I hope City or Real make an offer for Porro. He has not been good for the better part of January and December. #COYS

#COYS I'm seeing a lot of player scores trickle in tonight commending Romero for his commanding 2nd half display.
I think he's one of the better CBs in the world, but honestly, I get tired of people acting like he's among "the best."
This is the passing sequence that led to the winning goal... 1/

To be honest, I don’t know if the 2nd half change in mentality is down to Frank asking the players to become more defensive minded or if the players entered a bunker state on their own, but the 2nd half performance has been dreadful from a team that dominated the 1st half. #COYS
