So far this year the Loons are 5-4-1 in home league games. MIN hosts a friendly against Atlas of Mexico on July 15 during the Gold Cup break. Their next game after playing Houston is hosting the NY Red Bulls on Saturday, July 22.

    The Dynamo are 1-2-2 over the last five league games scoring 7 goals and allowing 8. Houston is 0-7-2 in road league games this year.

    The Dynamo next go to DC United on July 22 and then host Portland on July 29.

    Minneapolis/St. Paul is actually a real cool town. Great eats, good music scene, right on the Mississippi River.

    The winters suck tho. They suck hard.

    Keep expanding and some teams will look like PDL teams.

    Not necessarily about expansion but where you expand to. Look at the two teams this year: Atlanta willing to splash the cash and they are a lot of fun to watch. Minnesota is like Dynamo Jr., not spending much money. Consequently they are as boring and horrid to watch as the Dynamo were the last few seasons.

    Bring in high value ownership groups willing to spend money, you look more like Atlanta. Bring in cheaper groups, you look more like Minnesota.

    They look like the night shift from PDQ, not PDL. Dynamo have put some good pressure on (and missed 3-4 good chances) but MN looks lost

    Of course as bad as they have been, you can't waste as many golden chances as the Dynamo have and win. Minnesota actually is finding their footing in this game and in the ascendancy.

    I have a bad feeling that the officiating will screw the Dynamo with either a red card, a questionable PK call, or a goal on a offsides no-call. I better be wrong on this.

    The Dynamo in the 1st half but in the 2nd half, it was evenly matched especially Minnesota attacking in the last 5 minutes.

    1 point on the road but disappointed they didn't get 3 points. AJ DLG is the MOTM with his goal line save.

    I spent most of the 2nd half watching the Tour de France (was very good) - 2nd half on the road this team is sort of poor.

    will politely disagree.

    i would cringe if the Liga MX ever expanded to 24 teams much less expand to the current 53 teams in MLS.....and Liga MX has a bigger domestic player pool and more money to spend.

    if you don't believe me try watching a Veracruz - Puebla game. you won't make it 18 minutes without falling into a 5 year coma.

    Looks like a 0-0 draw and lopsided possession stats (though meaningless)



    That is true but I also think Minnesota ended up coming into MLS a year earlier than they planned and got caught underinvested.

    OK, granted I only saw most of the second half but from watching that and the highlights of the first half:

    1) Deric has some cajones and I hope he still has them after exposing himself to manly harm on that last game saving save - ouch!
    2) Memo looked pretty good
    3) The defense still drops back to far with tons of bodies in the box instead of stepping up and man marking. We get into that and momentum really builds for the other team. We have to push up and step up to defend.
    4) outside mids and wingers are leaving a ton of space just begging for teams to switch the play and when they do they have an outside mid or outside back carrying the ball into the edge of our box.
    5) Manotas can do better with his finishing. I had hope for Wenger at one time but I just don't think he has the consistent attacking ability - he doesn't appear to be improving with playing time as I had hoped. He's good and bad in games.
    6) De LaGarza was good, defense was OK but lucky.
    7) Alex was good just didn't get that finish in.
