New #MNUFC forward Angelo Rodriguez will wear number 9 in his jersey.

Abu Danladi, who previously wore the 9 shirt, will wear 99.

Wish I saw this before the game was really confused a couple of times even the game handouts had it wrong.

Been fighting it, but I think I am now in the #heathout camp.

I hate the formation they were playing Ibara was basically on the back line the whole time. He needs to allowed to go up the wing this formation was chosen by the coach.

Bluecat82 · Aug 4, 2018

Could someone please explain to Adrian Heath that you don't get to carry over unused subs from one game to the next?

Why not, when Seattle tied it up, take off Alexi Gomez, which is where our offense went to die tonight, and put on Christian as an extra forward. Let him have one last shot at Loon glory before the front office trades him to Real Salt Lake for yet another winger.

The fact that the transfer window has closed without Manny doing anything with the allocation money gained by selling CR21 tells me one of two things.

1) Manny & Adrian believe our current roster is good enough to gain a playoff spot despite the fact we play 7 out of our last 11 matches on the road, where we've picked up a grand total of three points this season.

2) Manny & Adrian are admitting this season is pretty much toast / Season 2 of Soft Launch, and both of them are going to be around for Season 3 / Hard Launch.

Neither one of these options fills me with warm fuzzies.

#MNUFC star playmaker Darwin Quintero is absent from Loons training Thursday. He has right lower leg tightness and is listed as questionable for FC Dallas match Saturday.

#MNUFC’s Darwin Quintero absent from Loons training again Friday, which doesn’t bode well for his availability against FC Dallas on Saturday. Adrian Heath will be asked to address this before their flight to Texas.
— Andy Greder (@andygreder) August 17, 2018

Luckily, I will be out of town and missing this one.

Bluecat82 · Aug 19, 2018

The first question ownership needs to ask any prospective hire whenever the club finally gets around to replacing Adrian Heath:

"Can you count to three?"

Dead Fingers · Aug 23, 2018

No Darwin is doubtful for the next game

So many missed chances at the end of this game and we can get one in.

Rasmus has been called up for Finland games against Hungary (9/8) and Estonia (9/11).

Dead Fingers · Aug 30, 2018

Sounds like for the next game Sept. 12 at D.C., #MNUFC will be missing quite a few bodies. Boxall and Calvo are suspended. Calvo, Schuller and Romario Ibarra have been called up to their national teams. Quintero is still questionable with a calf injury.
