seansheim

I can’t quite put into words how much I love Bongi getting steamrolled from behind and just popping right back up to try to score instead of rolling and whining. Fucking love when guys play through.


the_LoonKing

Bongi will eventually be a star


PandaMentality

The kid is a stud


jocedun

Bongi is leagues above last season, he’s here, he’s there, he’s every fucking where


seansheim

Streets ahead


[deleted]

Ope, Reynoso. Drink.


Devils-Avocado

I know everybody loves Taylor, but Valentin looks quite a bit better to me.


mattyc34

Taylor had a great year last year and was a wonderful surprise, but I agree, Valentin’s services cannot be matched by Taylor


weinerdog70

Now this feels like a rivalry. I hate STL already.


IvarSturla

The mls is 100% making up stoppage time minutes now.. again nothing warrants this much time. They give +1 minute for first half stoppage (they did last game too) and then give +6 and +7 in hopes to add dramatic late goals. I hate it


geekleyweekley

I am very impressed at our defensive core tonight.


CaptainNubcake

Working their asses off


Medoxi

That’s a pen all day everyday. Shirt pull, a push from behind, take your pick.

retrobmx

Download the SKOR NORTH app and listen to the radio broadcast...that's what I'm doing.


MG_MN

Klauss is the oldest looking 26 year old I've ever seen


rightious

HE'S 26?


MG_MN

I was shocked when I Googled him and that came up. I was thinking mid thirties was generous, but nope


[deleted]

Lol love Amarilla’s reaction to the boos.


TheLoonQueen

Ah yes. The sound of St Louis’ cries. This pleases the Loon Queen.


AmericanSatellite9

SEVEN MINUTES!?!?!


MPLS_Folk

Bruh what are you bitching about, clear yellow


MPLS_Folk

Should be a yellow for simulation


tupperware_rules

boys I've prolapsed from the clenching


Minneapolis_W

UNDEFEATED IN 2023, YOU’L NEVER SING THAT


rightious

That's a hell of a reaction for a straight yellow card challenge my friend.


Zacshoupe

STL booing the ref like he isnt making literally the most obvious calls in the world lmaoooo


lakers612

That dude is a psycho wtf


Wu-Tang_Hoplite

That’s a clear penalty!!! Twice!!


IvarSturla

That’s a fucking embarrassment grabbing his face 😂😂😂😂


kierrit

in Poland it's 4:30 after midnight, but it was worth it...


[deleted]

I admire the fact that Hlongwane gets back up after getting fouled


Accomplished-Match43

Bongi is out there getting abused. Kid is tough as nails


FooFighter0234

LOONS WIN! LOONS WIN! CUE WONDERWALL! Me: *coming up the stairs from the basement singing Wonderwall* Mom: I hear Wonderwall. Did we win? Me: we won!


SerotoninBay

CAUSE MAAAAAAAYBEEEEEEE


b-ros

MY GOD THEY'VE DONE IT. CONGRATS BOYS, WELL EARNED. SATURDAY IS FOR THE (OUR) BOYS.


MPLS_Folk

Holy shit how did their dude miss that


matate99

Win on the road and draw at home.


Infinite_indecision

COYL!!


BaronVonSnack

Mender off instead of Luis?! Jfc…


seansheim

I saw shirt getting pulled 👀


SerotoninBay

These refs are allowing a ton of contact. I had to make sure I was watching Soccer and not Wrestlemania. Sheesh


the_LoonKing

apparently its ok to pull someone down by their shirt now


seansheim

I hear an MNUFC chant sneaking through at 92:45


pebblepot

Hanging on with a 1-0 lead is like my least favorite part of this game, so stressful


BaronVonSnack

Bongi up top has been delightful.


Minneapolis_W

Brick. Shitting.


Western-Ad-4781

3 points!!!! B


talesfromahobbithole

Pull Amarilla and Fragapane out at half - LA sloppy and passing to the other team…Franco bout to get us a red card


Antique_Ad_6253

Fragapane is our man of the match and has single handedly brought energy to our side. Now all of our players are hustling in a way I haven’t seen yet this season. Getting exciting!!


mgpolo50

Amarilla is so bad! Literally kills every play he touches the ball


thepieman42

Now this is a proper football match. If this keeps up the game might not end with 22 players on the pitch


MPLS_Folk

"we need to take off one of these strikers" .... curls monkey paw...


Lost_Barracuda8561

How’s that not a penalty?!?


EqualAd1392

I respect that one guy in the crewe hoodie lol


Spuzzed

Are we still allowed to hate Amarilla?


mattyc34

Yes. PKs are in favor of the taker


DM-me-corgis

look at us all! we've been through every striker, and where has it brought us? back to amarilla, the one true goalscorer.


FeelingAverage

What insane amount of stoppage time are we gonna get this time?


[deleted]

God that was close


Zacshoupe

Aziel Jackson is so promising. I really wish the Loons wouldve tried to keep him.


Lost_Barracuda8561

3 road games, 3 wins! COYL!!!


Antique_Ad_6253

BUT MAYBE!!!!!!!


[deleted]

Let's do this!


Pasty_Mick

Fraga best man on pitch.


CaptainNubcake

That was our chance


seansheim

Don’t love mender coming off instead of Amarilla 😬


FeelingAverage

This is the exact opposite of what I wanted. I was hoping Dotson on for Amarilla.


rightious

That has to be a fucking penalty.


ZEROs0000

That’s a PK


MoTownKid

HOW IS THAT NOT A PEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


MPLS_Folk

Klauss like "Take the fall! Act hurt! Get indignant!'


MG_MN

What is going on with this added time? This is ridiculous


jocedun

7 min? I’m having deja vu from last week


biggreenback

I feel like this will be a true rivalry with this team!


seansheim

Welp. Should be 1-1 lol


[deleted]

Holy shit we got 3 points in St. Louis!


[deleted]

What a win, and what a start to the season!


Antique_Ad_6253

Fragapane man of the match!! All games will now be AWAY games! Kudos Bongi for playing full 97 on zero rest 7 min added??????


BearorLion

YOU’RE GONNA BE THE ONE THAT SAVES MEEEEEEEE


FeelingAverage

I genuinely don't understand what Amarilla brings to the first 11 other than bad turnovers


Nerdlinger

A swarthy new look.


b-ros

Bongi is gonna want that one back! Wow, so close!


thepieman42

No way that’s a yellow, he tripped on his own feet


dodoohead98

Get LA out of the fucking pitch bro. Every fucking pass is to the opposition


b-ros

I'm happy with the first half. Couple unnecessary turnovers in the middle 1/3rd I could live without, but that's the way it goes. I'm happy with the number of chances we've created and how close we've come. More than I thought we'd get going into the first couple minutes of play. I'm worried about the pressure on the wings. We can bring in zarek on the right, but that leaves Taxi gassed on the left... I'm 50/50 on Dunbar after his lack of defense against Vancouver. Dotson could be a great sub at left mid, or for trap/Arriaga. Please keep Marques/Iwe on the bench.


mnsportsfan

Has Amarilla made a positive play today? I hope our new guy takes his place


MG_MN

Why on earth does Garcia come out instead of Amarilla?


SyFyFan93

Why are you taking Mender out? He's literally one of the better players out there right now.


mnmaverickfan

Why are they taking out Garcia


FeelingAverage

I love Amarilla and have never said a bad word about him!


MPLS_Folk

LUIS PENMARILLA HEARD EVERYONE TALKING SHIT.


rightious

Guys he's too much of a troll to miss. An absolute gift but I'll take it.


jaddboy

WTF was that challenge?


retrobmx

Aziel Jackson is on... please do not get your first MLS goal tonight.


MPLS_Folk

Fragapane is gassed, let's bring in Kallman for him


the_LoonKing

Kallman is a badass on the pitch... Good player, played well last week too


Minneapolis_W

Rosales, damn. Really nice touches


TheLoonQueen

“Seven minutes”


b-ros

OH, GOD, NOT AGAIN 😭


SteamyRay_Vaughn

This crowd is so pissed lol


matate99

Must have a small video board.


haimeekhema

stl gonna score in about 9 minutes


[deleted]

These game announcers really want St. Louis to win


the_LoonKing

uhhhh, the entire league does... Loons don't get any love


SerotoninBay

Let’s finish this shit


Pasty_Mick

Norris Division slugfest! Love it! New rival?!?


tacopeople

Phew


MG_MN

What an insane win! St Louis is legit


MinneapolisWisconsin

That second half felt so damn good. This team has heart!


SerotoninBay

Let’s gooooooo!!!!!


doctorlaughs

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO


sparks90

Take that mississippi river salmons


TheLoonQueen

Well folks. Someone had to take the newbies down a notch. This makes up for the April Fools snow.


FireKeeper09

Amarilla needs to be off the pitch


FeelingAverage

Luis is embarrassing.


MmattN

COYL


b-ros

LET'S GO LET'S GO. COYL.


AscensionOfAres

Amarilla knows we’re not the red team right? Somebody better remind him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


oTheMagicMuffin

Fragapane is gonna get a red this game isn’t he


jocedun

This game has me sooooooo nervous


MinneapolisWisconsin

Is everyone in the entire stadium still standing?


jaddboy

While I love high pressing in soccer, I despise how part of the strategy is to desensitize the referee by complaining about every fucking call against you.


geekleyweekley

Honestly love the energy coming from Fraga tonight.


seansheim

I like DSC


SyFyFan93

It's just really hard to make anything offensively happen when the ball is in our backfield for the majority of the game. Like damn.


MG_MN

If you stick your arm out for a hand ball shouldn't that be a yellow? Parker just stopped an attack that way


tdnelson

STL's press is very impressive. Their fitness is incredible. I think we've had the better chances. Disappointed in Amarilla.


the_LoonKing

go loons


MG_MN

When does the Amarilla mistake end? Once again, we are searching desperately for a single at least average striker


matate99

Ugh, LA just killing chances left and right.


CaptainNubcake

Bongi should've sold that tackle on the box


FeelingAverage

Bongi has been lively this half.


EqualAd1392

Wrong striker off


rightious

😳 mender???


kran16

Gotta be a pen there


MDecimusMeridius

How is that not even reviewed??


biggreenback

I hope I’m wrong but I feel like a crap goal is coming and not the good kind.


rightious

That has to be the dumbest fucking challenge I have seen in my life.


[deleted]

Goal Amarilla!


Diya780

We are growing into this game. Excellent adjustments coach!


FooFighter0234

GOOOOOOOOAL!


frostwyrm22

This game!!! Go MNUFC!!


seansheim

Would be fine with Franco coming off now


Kafkas7

Rosales for fragapane


TheLoonQueen

In the stands, all a Loon fan can hear now is “Noooo, St Louis City”.


rightious

🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌


DM-me-corgis

lol 5-5-0 fuck me


TheLoonQueen

St. Clair, I dub thee reliable knight of the goal keep.


MG_MN

So what are we thinking: 8 minutes of stoppage time?


KHDonny

C’mon boy! Only a few minutes plus 25 in stoppage time to go!


egowaffles

So Klauss a bit of a clown then?


the_LoonKing

uh oh, now we can expect 20 min of extra time...


SuspiciousApricot4

I just love Bongi so much


Minneapolis_W

My goodness St Louis likes to bitch


TheLoonQueen

7 minutes feels like an April Fools joke


Zeptide

I guess 7’ et is the new normal lol


omunto2

That was fucking cathartic!


Nerdlinger

Well, one team is still undefeated.


Minnemiska

Because maaybbeeeee


CaptainNubcake

Underdogs win again!


frostwyrm22

WE PULL OFF THE WIN!!


geekleyweekley

LET'S GO!!!!


TheLoonQueen

Divine justice has been served.


EqualAd1392

I think this should be a sibling rivalry. We get along until the game starts. Then pummel each other.


NefariousGlow

I'm so happy. That was lovely. Some shaky moments, but honestly another well crafted game plan from the gaffer. We got lucky to get 3 points, but I'll take luck all day when playing away from home.


MoTownKid

Mender gets murdered no whistle. Guy trips in front of franco and gets a call....ok


KHDonny

GET AMARILLA OUT


MannyLagosAlt

Oh my god Adrian, get amarilla off.


howsaboutyou

He leaned all the way down lol. That’s waist high. No way that should be a penalty.


MG_MN

Didn't realize their jerseys were this pink


ZEROs0000

Reynoso is like the Title of the Movie in the movie….


ZEROs0000

This games getting heated I love it


MoTownKid

in what fucking world is that a yellow?


MG_MN

Fraga got pulled back and no call


DM-me-corgis

Amarilla having a stinker, has he had a touch that wasn't a giveaway?


geekleyweekley

How many times is Amarilla gonna turn it over?


MoTownKid

This game is going to be a chippy one I see.


MG_MN

What exactly did they see in Amarilla that made them want to transfer for him twice?


rightious

That's enough for a call imo


tryagainyesterday

These announcers do know there are two teams playing, right?


retrobmx

DSC! DSC! DSC!


FireKeeper09

This crowd is intense


tacopeople

Not an amazing performance so far, but one of the more entertaining halfs I’ve seen in a while.


TheLoonQueen

Hear yee, hear yee. No extra time nonsense this game, refs. So decrees, The Loon Queen


seansheim

🙃


b-ros

HOW IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT NOT IN THE NET


DM-me-corgis

Won't be getting a better chance than that all night


KillerFisch99

Just shoot the damn ball at the damn net


ZEROs0000

Settle that ball Armilla


the_LoonKing

Mender!! He needs to make that


TheLoonQueen

It would so appear that the Loon subjects have forgotten where the location of the goal is.


b-ros

STL makes subs, we gotta make subs right after. Fresh legs are gonna decide this game.
