Fuck Ice. Yeboahs forehead. Teens are still cold.

They didn't show the tifo?!!!

Should have tagged you, @mnufc.com . Please listen to us.

Lo, it shall come to pass that from the frigid and salty North a figure, clothed in the glory of cups gone by, will emerge.

Bathed in the cry of the Loon, will he step forth and slay the Lion before him.

And those who cry out, who have kept the frozen hope, will melt the ICE at their feet.

Even Greder with Prophecy-style prediction this week:

"But what the heck, let’s predict pure cinema: Minnesota gets a winning-goal contribution from James’ left foot in crunch time. Loons win 2-1"

#MNUFC fans getting a @andygreder.bsky.social double-header today ahead of the home opener!

And appropriately, both tackle the community, ICE, and how we choose to respond.

Ain't that the way it is!

Love it!

Winner/years going on the back?

I don't think James starts tomorrow.

Bring him on in the 60th-75th, depending on game state

Pause the Rethinking I-94 Project We must pause the Rethinking I-94 project now. Minnesota is facing a federal occupation that is terrorizing our neighborhoods, especially our most vulnerable and marginalized communities. Everyday ...

Most likely folk in my network here have come across this, but if not, please take a moment ask MNDOT & electeds to pause the I-94 project so we can catch our breath/continue to protect our neighbors before we engage on rethinking giant public works projects: www.ourstreetsmn.org/2026/02/12/p...

after failed military incursion, us government responds with economic sanctions

Lasted 1.125 Nancys. The stuff of legends

"Former Loons striker Christian Ramirez was waived by L.A. Galaxy. The Loons could use a backup center forward behind Yeboah, but are not expected to pursue Ramirez, a source said Saturday."

Bah. Humbug.

I just took a bit too much pleasure at DSC just getting embarrassed by Bouanga. #OnceALoon ??

Much appreciated from Los Verdes of #AustinFC

Cheers from St. Paul... and #COYL

Come on Loons. Make it happen!

Yes! I've been thinking about this dynamic a lot and what it means for trust in institutions

Last night, a vision appeared over Allianz Field, blazing in the sky.

It was fragmented, but the meaning clear: A long throw. A volleyed shot. A sliding celebration.

The portents suggest this will manifest in Austin. #COYL

Every policy issue everyone cares about is <entirely downstream> of fixing our deeply broken, fundamentally antidemocratic, non-functional-right-now legislative, judicial & electoral institutions. Trying to Do an Abundance of Popularism will not solve this, just like it didn't in 2008-16 or 2021-25.

@mnufc.com I made sure to use all 225 characters to emphasize that the club's attempts to gloss over all issues with the MLS schedule change, as well as continuing to disingenuously diminish the size of that change, make me *less* likely to continue as an STM, not more.

I'm sorry...what?

To be charitable, did you simply miss the *entire essay* consisting of snapshots of materially protecting vulnerable children on their way to school?

"The reward is watching your city organize in hyperlocal networks of compassion, in acephalous fashion, not because someone told you to, but because tens of thousands of people across a metro region simultaneously and instinctively felt the urge to help their neighbors get by."

So, MNUFC aren't getting the Son/Mueller treatment after all

Real "I'd like to buy a vowel" energy

Perfect, thanks

Is 0.2 xGD large in this context?

That sun is warm!

Excellent article, well contextualized and fantastic quotes.

Needed an MNUFC trigger warning on this one

I think got carpal tunnel from scrolling down to find MNUFC in the rankings.

Going to enjoy watching the dunking.
