Well...currently in 2nd place. Feels weird.

What a gorgeous day. The whole family was there.

---

Just a note...due to international duty, we will be without Schüller, Boxall, and Calvo for the next game. Also looks like Mears will be out for a few weeks due to a calve pull. Will hopefully have an official diagnosis on that soon.

So, I can see Burch playing his usual left, and Jerry moved back to the right side. As for CB pairings, the obvious one would be Kallmann and Omsberg, but I would not be surprised if Owundi gets some minutes. Also be on the look out for Manley.

The impression that I got, was that Fernando was still not ready. They are easing him in (and remember that he is less than a year out from an ACL injury as well).

So.....Martin or Warner. Almost flip a coin here, though I was alright with Warner in the Orlando game. He does cover a bit of ground.

Tyler Adams receives his third-straight call up to the senior U.S. Men’s National Team. Kemar Lawrence will join Jamaica and defenders Fidel Escobar and Michael Amir Murillo will join Panama.

Adams and Escobar started against RSL

 

#MNUFC’s Abu Danladi (hamstring) and Luiz Fernando (knee) more involved with group in Tuesday’s training session as compared to late last week.

#MNUFC fullback Tyrone Mears is day-to-day, coach Adrian Heath said. His right calf knocks doesn’t seems as severe as originally shared after Saturday’s win.

Just a note about this weekend's game. It will be on Fox 2 Go.

Minnesota United at New York Red Bulls| #NYvMIN​

Date: Saturday, March 24, 2018
Kickoff: 6:00 p.m. CT
Location: Red Bull Arena
Broadcast: Fox Sports Go, 1500 ESPN (coverage starts at 5:30 p.m.)​

 

#MNUFC could have more changes along its back line. Fullback Jerome Thiesson is questionable vs. New York Red Bulls with a left hip knock.

It's how we roll.

I don't think we expected points out of this one...so you know, why not get those young players some good minutes? Would even think Heath would want to try out
Maximiano with Ibson as well.

Would also hope Martin starts to get a few minutes in the next few games as well.

 

Pangop cleared to play btw so he is traveling. Danladi will be on the bench. Fernando aka Maximiano will not travel as he is not quite match fit. #MNUFC

Poo...was hoping Maximiano would get a few minutes.
