If you could swap your allegiances to another national team, who would it be?
Minnesota dominates the headlines after Wednesday's MLS expansion announcement, and the guys go straight to the source with
Minnesota United FC President Nick Rogers
and resident Minnesota superfan/soccer writer
Bruce McGuire
(DuNord). What's the next stadium step? What about that logo and the loon? Who are their prospective rivals? It's all here.
Of course, there is plenty of US national team and MLS action to discuss as well. Simon claims he wishes he was a Dane (or a Danish?) as the guys search for positives after another late collapse from the Yanks. On the MLS front, it is a packed weekend with a series of high-profile matchups on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
In the mailbag, the guys consider Xavi’s potential fit in the NYCFC midfield, and look at two of the best attacking acquisitions of the offseason.
