Unrelated, but not acknowledged here: due to a number of issues I stepped away from running @loonstravel.bsky.social before the playoff run. Big thanks to @nickmoore.social @maggiheyer.bsky.social and @mnwonderwall.bsky.social for taking my work and big ups to every traveling #MNUFC fan this year.
Sports is a D/s dynamic depending on the balance of play and how switchy you get. There’s enough to love from #MNUFC this year that I can at least live with tonight being a grounding to Earth.

Honorable loss. Can’t always say that about a Minnesota men’s pro team in a semi-final. Hope we get more Ramsey & the rest next year. #mnufc

Well, it wasn’t the outcome we wanted, but it was a hell of a season. See all of you Loons in February. #MNUFC

Obviously not the way we wanted things to end, but it’s an incredible season that came to an end tonight. To everyone who stood with us, sang with us, marched with us, and made our community better in other ways: Thank You.

We are what we are because of you. #COYL #MNUFC

Fun season by the squad, heads held high for the fight they showed. Goonies and Loons never say die.

It's the age-old question... San Diego has had like 80 percent of the possession, but #MNUFC has had four shots on target and has spaces to attack on the counter, while #SDFC has had no shots and no space.

So who is really controlling this game?

Ramsay gets a yellow to open the 2nd. A lot of crying for fouls and falling over by San Diego so far. #MNUFC

and I do like that AppleTV showed the clip of Triantis using the 3-iron for the long-range goal. #mnufc

The field at Snapdragon Stadium does not look to be in great shape from Saturday's football game, and I'm told from field level that it's worse, up close.

Both teams have to play on it, so no winners here, but might hurt the team that likes to keep and pass the ball the most...

Vancouver vs Minnesota would sure be a nice conference final. Cmon MNUFC, make it happen.

I (selfishly) want a MNUFC v NYCFC final for the MLS Cup so that Minnesota hosts the final. That it’ll serve to show MLS what they voted for with the calendar shift to more December football is bonus.

and more bad news from Philly this eve after the Eagles loss.

my older brother's Philly Union have lost to NYCFC in their eastern semi-final.

the only good news out of this, there now is a slight chance MNUFC may host the MLS Cup Final if they win their next 2 games & NYCFC beat Miami next week.

Once again, the President is trying to divide instead of unite. His purported attempt to remove Temporary Protected Status for Somalis specifically in Minnesota should not be tolerated and is likely illegal.

You can help: speak up and attend training like Monarca’s Upstander training.
