Sometimes it’s fun to just pick names out of hat when making a lineup. Let’s focus on the positives. This will be a unique viewing experience. How can GGG give his team a good scouting report? (12-D chess by the Loons.) Chance for guys to show they belong. See? Positivity. #MNUFC

Certainly a unique lineup tonight for the Loons. They head to Louisville, trying to avoid the cardinal sin of losing to a USL Championship side. #MNUFC

This a great news. And also funny that multiple journalists worked many hours to source it and write it, only to get a title/ headline that points out what every person already knew.
