Minnesota United

Really happy to get to watch my local team in their first season in the MLS tonight. Portland away is a tough start and I think it will be a tough season, but I am still excited

You'll have to explain it to me. Is your team a new team? Or have they been promoted? Is there promotion/relegation in the mfl. I know little about it.

Either way, good luck.

No promotion or relegation "yet" in the MLS. They have been playing in the NASL (second tier) for over 20 years now. They played in the same division as Crystal Palace USA a few years back. They were finally given a place int he MLS after many years of trying and are just in the process of building a new stadium.

That graphic of the stadium looks a bit like Landsdowne Road in Dublin.

How come they were let in to the top flight then, money? Any players that are known in Europe?

Pretty awful performance. 5-1 loss. Thankfully, no relegation

It's really weird, the look for expansion teams as they are making the league bigger, but typically it is money and the potential to be a stable club, unlike the boom/bust of the American Leagues in the 80's. Up to 22 teams now and they plan on 30, which would allow Promotion/Relegation.

They don't have any huge European players, but:

Alvbage played for Gothenburg and won goalkeeper of the year in the Allsvenkan last season

Ibson played for Porto in the Champions League

Demidov is a Norwegian international. Played for Rosenborg, Real Sociedad, Eintract Frankfurt, Celta Vigo, and Anzi Makhachkala

Bashim Kadrii played in the Europa league for Copenhagen

Saeid came through West Brom's academy

Theisson played for FC Luzern in Switzerland

The big star is Kevin Molino though. 26 years old and a huge one to watch for the future. Bangs goals in for fun playing for Trinidad and Tobago.

Shame no one told him he was playing for Minnesota against Portland, might have made a difference.

It sounds like their recruitment of players reflects Minnesota's historic ties to Scandinavia. Is that deliberate or coincidence? (And do people there really say "Ya" like they did in Fargo)

That's a good observation actually. I think it is more of a coincidence than anything.

The older people up here definitely say YA

I agree. The only drawback is the sponsor on the front

4-1 down so far. Going forward we look decent but at the back, we are a shambles
