    Meram has been frustrating since coming on.

    Which is better that Albert, who has been frustrating all game long.

    I know what it is with Meram: he's me. Gotten old before our eyes and is just a partial step slow.

    I didn’t think his shot was a bad choice. The Keeper was out of position. He just didn’t hit it right.

    Overall the Boys looked scrappy and engaged.

    Now i know how it feels to cheer for that guy - Ochoa, crazy Mexican style drama keeper - it’s actually HILARIOUS!

    Here is a idea, let’s fire the coach.

    Does anyone know what had Adrian Heath all riled up?

    Petulant from Ochoa to boot that ball into the stands, but also a dumb overreaction from the MUFC players.

    Gotta say, I'm shocked we got the win. Certainly have no idea how this game will translate to the rest of the season, but I'm cautiously optimistic that we won't be in the bottom half of the league.

    Ochoa was a punk, but whatever

    A humiliating 0-2 start to the season?

    I suspect there was something more specific but whatever it was it's surely also an expression of some general frustration.

    Hooray first the first RSL win in Minnesota! They kept me nervous until the very end though.

    I didn't expect us to win so I'm happily surprised. Both goals were very well taken which has me excited for future games. Here's hoping we can keep it up

    If you had the MNUFC broadcast crew, you would have seen the replay of Ochoa kicking the ball into the stands and heard all about why the team was angry.

    But I imagine the pressure of being favorites to perhaps win the conference but starting 0-2 is a big part of it too.

    Nothing new from Ochoa. Saw it in person when the monarchs won the cup and heard about it again with the latest crossover podcast. I don't mind rolling with him this season.
    Need to see some smarter decisions in the defensive positions. Silva had too many moments that make you cringe and the 'uiz' pair will miss several games due to cards if they keep playing like that.
    Minny is not the same team that went to the playoffs. Much bigger challenge next week. I'm excited for the season. I missed watching this team.

    I had fun watching but I really am nervous about getting excited for this team. Hopefully they'll come through.

    Nice win.

    Ochoa is a punk who hasn’t earned a damn thing. He’s certainly talented and could be the future for RSL in goal but my concern is that it’s an exploitable weakness in his game. Just something to watch.

    he’s young.

    I’m not plucking any crows just yet. And I’m glad to see Freddy can count to 5 now.

    Just a little more excited for the season. Let’s see what Saturday brings.

    MNUFC has just...a beautiful stadium/color/style. I love everything about their branding.

    Subbing off Julio and putting in Meram and Besler with Dami made us the slowest team in the western hemisphere.

    Nice game by RSL, in a way. Other teams that get that many good chances on goal will hurt us very badly. At the end, though the defense was chasing down Minnesota nicely. They kept surprising Minnesota with where a defender showed up and then harassed the player chasing down the balls. The goals were good quality counters and I'd be fine with us playing that way. We've not been winning, I won't be picky about it being pretty.

    Yura’s comeback was almost worth the 2million/yr to watch him “jog” off the field when subbed.

    After first running into the far corner. He anticipated the sub and got into the worst position possible to begin his "jog."
