    Another week, another preseason game. I'm curious if there'll be any changes to the starting line-up after that terrible game for the defense.


    Records:

    Fire: 0-1-0 0pts.
    MUFC : 1-1-0 0pts.

    Fire Competition Standings:

    MLS Eastern Conference-
    9th place

    MLS Supporter's Shield-
    18th place

    2019 Champion's League Qualifying (2017+2018 pts.)-
    1) NYCFC: 57+6 = 63
    2) CBUS: 54+6 = 60
    3) ATL: 55+3 = 58
    4) FIRE: 55+0 = 55
    5) POR: 53+0 = 53
    6) SEA: 53+0 = 53
    7) NYRB: 50+3 = 53
    8) HOU: 50+3 = 53

    Projected Lineup:

    ---------------------------------Nikolic-------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    --------Katai----------Schweinsteigger---------Solignac----
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------McCarty-----------Tchani---------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Vincent-----------Dean--------------Kappelhoff--------Polster
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------Sanchez-------------------------------

    Only 2 choices?
    When one must be "Malort, et al" that only leaves one other option.

    A Fire victory or nothing (well, I guess a tie or loss is possible).

    No hedging your bets with multiple answers. We need some accountability around here.

    do I have to watch this on my computer again? I'll be happier when we can play this lineup:

    ---------------------------------Nikolic-------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ------Solignac-----------Katai----------deLeeuw--------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------McCarty-----------Schweinsteigger-----------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Corrales-------Lillard-------------Kappelhoff--------Polster
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------Sanchez-----------------------------


    I don't think I can justify $5 a month to watch Vincent play anymore.

    I like this look better :) I also have 0 confidence that Corrales is any better than Vincent, not saying that Vincent is good enough to start.

    Still LOL everyday at this team being called 'United'. Our name might cause our team to continually be confused with or overlooked in favor of a crappy TV show, a tragic (but ultimately uplifting!) historical event and/or a municipal service, but at least it differs from every other team in the league's name. And our city didn't let the NFL tapdance all over Prince's grave before squatting down and taking a shit on it for a mediocre Super Bowl halftime show performance. The Loons can go to hell, Fire 4-0.

    I just noticed that in the initial post it says that Minnesota's record is "1-1-0 0pts". I assumed I had made an uncharacteristic mistake. But, it turns out that the league is docking them that 3pts for calling "duck, duck, goose" the entirely stupid name of "duck, duck, gray duck."

    It's true, read a book.

    Extremely lenient penalty, imho, unless it’s 3 points per season until they admit that they’re wrong and they suck.

    Is "Mall of America" still a thing?
    I thought it went the way of all malls, destroyed by Amazon and child molesters, and oh,Orange Julius.

    Well - I came on here hoping to find that you all had figured out a way to watch this game. Looked thru comcast and web outlets I know with no luck.
    Anybody? Are we just screwed on this one? no web stream? no - nothing?

    Bastian didn't travel - Ana is about to go into labor at any time . I didn't think she was that far along.

    "Interesting" lineup to say the least...

    Vincent playing CB? Now is lack of height will be exposed in stead of his lack of speed. Solignac as the AM? Collier as a wing? Interesting indeed.

    Katai in the Center at AM , Ellis at CB

    Katai best player by far on the pitch right now.
    I've said it before , Tchani has an awful first touch

    I gave in and Downloaded the stupid app. Very hard to watch on the iPad. Shaky as hell. How many people are watching this? Over or under 100 people?
