  1. The second part of the Minnesota Star Tribune #MNUFC season-opening package: five questions facing the Loons as they try to repeat - and build on - their success from last year.

  2. It's Year 2 for #MNUFC manager Eric Ramsay, and he's growing into not only being a head coach, but his role as the public face of the franchise.

    I got a chance to sit down with the manager and find out what motivates him - and how long he might care to stay in Minnesota:

  3. Bongokuhle Hlongwane is a wingback, but also a striker. Maybe we should just call his position "the Frimpong."

    For the Minnesota Star Tribune, a look at how #MNUFC is using Hlongwane in the preseason. Plus: half a game of 4-4-2, visa problems, and Morris Duggan:

  4. #MNUFC notebook, for the Minnesota Star Tribune:

    * The specter of 2026 looms over 2025, for players who might go to the World Cup
    * Notes from the Loons 2-1 preseason loss to LA
    * Eric Ramsay thinks there's a competition at backup GK

  5. #MNUFC is working on playing with two strikers this preseason, in the hopes of increasing the team's tactical flexibility.

    Sunday, it led to six goals, including two from each striker, so you'd have to say it's going well.

    For the Minnesota Star Tribune,, a look at what the Loons hope to get out of their final preseason trip:

  6. #MNUFC now has a South Korean duo - the first time in MLS history that any team has had two South Korean players at one time.

    For the Minnesota Star Tribune,, a chance to talk to the pair for the first time:

  7. Hassani Dotson may have put out a trade request- but as far as Khaled El-Ahmad is concerned, that doesn’t mean the #MNUFC midfielder wants out.

  8. Nicolás Romero wasn’t in #MNUFC training this morning, as he was off working on getting his visa.

    Matúš Kmeť did not train, but I saw him in the building this morning…

    DJ Taylor and Kipp Keller are dealing with hamstring issues that have carried over from last year, and did not fully train.

    #MNSports #MNastodon

  9. #MNUFC got a few days off, so they started training today doing the beep test again… which seems punitive, honestly.

    Today’s winner: Morris Duggan (Britton Fischer was training with MNUFC2 and unable to defend his title.)

    Don’t accuse Hassani Dotson of a lack of dedication: he was third.

  10. "I think it will help all the parties."

    #MNUFC has officially transferred Teemu Pukki to HJK - where, among other things, he'll get to be Dad again.

    It didn't work in Minnesota out like Pukki planned. Hear from the man himself about why he's ready to go home:

  11. #MNUFC feels like the squad is a bit light in the center - and they're working on changing that.

    For the Minnesota Star Tribune: the players that the Loons are negotiating with, and where they might fit in.

    (hat tip to Tom "Scoops" Bogert, who published the first sourced American report on this.)

  12. Setting up #MNUFC ‘s return to training- which, impossibly, already starts Monday.

    - Wil Trapp is officially back in the fold
    - Loons closing in on an important extension
    - Where the team is headed, roster construction-wise

  13. I know this sounds insane, but: #MNUFC players are due back to begin preseason one week from today.

  14. New for the Minnesota Star Tribune

    Khaled El-Ahmad has his hands full, trying to close the gap from #MNUFC to the top of the Western Conference.

    He wants to continuously improve, but underpinning process improvements and new players and salary caps is something simpler: continuity.

  15. #MNUFC announced its first batch of offseason moves, declining four contract options (beyond the ones already announced) and picking up eight.

    Hardly surprising they'd bring much of the team back - including four players who will be looking at contract extensions.

  16. Heading to #StPaul in hopes that #MnUFC will finally win a game for me. I have to travel 500 miles RT to watch the Loons. I see about 3 games per season. Havent seen them win in person in three years. If they don't win today, my miles-to-win ratio drops to 5,000/0.

  21. Very little satisfaction for #MnSports fans over an aggravating weekend. #MnUnited disappointed at home, again. #MnVikings and #MnGophers lost heartbreakers. #MnTwins lost.

    #MnWild won, so there's that.

    Its not easy trying to be a #Minnesota sports fan.
