MLS In Minnesota Is Great, But They Have To Change The Name Of The Team

it's not really a problem when man u plays west ham... minn united probably fine

 

Up in Canada with their CFL there were two teams in a 10 team league that have the same moniker of Roughriders Dave.
This same thing occurring in our MLS with United in DCU and MNU should be taken at face value. I.e. that in pro association football, specifically in English speaking nations, there are going to be many teams called United.

 

What does the soccer world do when Manchester City plays Stoke City. OMG!
Not a big deal, they'll figure it out.

 

Who cares?
Why can't there be two? What is the logic?

 

At one time, the American Soccer League had the New York Americans, Philadelphia Americans, Baltimore Americans and Kearny Americans.

I like a lot of old NASL names, but not the ones that reflected a simplistic American view of soccer, names like Kicks, Sockers, and Stompers.

 

What happens when Manchester United plays Newcastle United? I presume one of those teams has to change it's name for one day twice a year (or maybe they alternate), because you can't have two teams called United.

 

MUFC vs. NUFC

MANU vs. NEW

MU vs. NU

Seen it all, and don't think i've ever heard anyone have a problem with two teams sharing a secondary name.

 

They don't change their names, Newcastle United are The Magpies, The Toon or what ever S*nderland supporters or London based media are calling them. Manchester United are the Red Devils or whatever Liverpool support (or LVG)is slagging them off as; they are referred to by their respective cities.

Minnesota United will be Minnesota, MNUFC, the Loons etc.

 

Sarcasm meters, fellas....

 

Never know what to expect on this forum.

 

There are three schools in the SEC that are called Tigers.

 

The world ends.

 

It'll likely be referred to as 'Minnesota vs. DC' or something. As long as they're different cities, there's no real issue about them both using United.

 

If only they had followed their own rule...

 

Wow, what a stupid post. This is just silly.

Is that logo from "Schoolhouse Rock" the soccer edition?

 

They will say its Minnesota vs DC.

There are 3 Tigers in the SEC with Auburn, LSU, and Missouri. It doesn't cause any problems.

 

Oh god.. I just noticed something! MLS just had New York CITY and Orlando CITY join the league in the same time.. How will we ever tell the difference between the teams if they ever face each other in a competitive match????

 

Hre's one. The Southeastern Conference has the Auburn Tigers, LSU Tigers, and Missouri Tigers. They also have the Mississippi State Bulldogs and the Georgia Bulldogs. And that's a 14-team league.

 

Minnesota United... Thunder .... Stars.... Loons.... something will stick (if not Kick) but I don't think they'll do a fan vote on it after what happened in Houston.
