in that article... Cronin and Burch will be available to United on Monday, so not in time for the 7 p.m. Saturday match against Real Salt Lake (0-2-2) at TCF Bank Stadium. Both Saeid and Gatt missed practice Friday morning. A series of transactions brought the Colorado pair to United.
From the Loon perspective: Key to the match: CB Vadim Demidov. If he's on the field, RSL wins easily. (with Demidov, MNUFC is 0-3-0, 4 goals scored, 16 conceded) If he's not, the Loons have a chance.

Well, that's what happens when you play the worst defense in the league. 1-0 already. It was a really good switching of the field from Saucedo on the play leading up to the goal.
Oh look, another defender injured. I'm real glad we picked up injury prone players like Horst and Schuler. Is this field grass? Whatever it is, it looks bad.
Well, he sure as hell got cleared out on the jump header from Molino. I was impressed Wingert even got back up.
I feel like the majority of Dunny's comments about something other than a particular play is directed at us collectively and me personally.
I don't really buy 'luck' as the reason we have so many injuries. Dunny tries to claim it's the reason so many CB's are out, but I feel like it goes deeper than that. We have a lot of players that have been injured so far, and we're barely a few games into the season. That's pretty poor to start, and while it could be bad luck, I would tend to think there's another reason for it.
Not a bad half. Not a good half either, but adjusting to playing with a makeshift center back didn't hurt us too much (even though Minnesota blew the open chance on the corner to take the lead at halftime). Yura blew his mark on the corner.
I expect both teams will fend off relegation by the end of the season and stay up in top flight for next season.
Given the chance created at the end of half one and the one that just flashed across the goal, Minnesota should probably be ahead 3-1 by now.
Gotta love getting stupid yellows. This is what, the third yellow this season for kicking the ball away? Why even do it?
