MN-Prophecy Rating: This Prophecy is also good for this upcoming Tuesday.
Hal Heinze@hsquared8.bsky.social · yesterdayRotation, rotation, rotation. Loons still lose, but at least we see some fresh faces. Glad I am not invested as a fan in the “Tournament No One Cares About”. Let’s save it for MLS season homestretch.
MN-Prophecy Rating: Life was shown but now Leagues Cup is dead
Benjamin Park@benjaminpark.bsky.social · yesterday2-2 loons show a little life when we least expect them to…but not enough for a win
The Leagues Cup roles on tonight for #MNUFC who are all but out of the tournament already. Maybe a good opportunity for some rotation and experimentation from Knowles against … Tigres. What’s your MN-Prophecy for this evening’s match?

Speed ✅ Attacking Minded ✅ Familiar with MLS ✅ Familiar with MN and Cameron Knowles ✅✅ Will improve the team this season ❓❓❓ #MNUFC
Andy Greder@andygreder.bsky.social · yesterdayConfirmed: #MNUFC pursuing reunion with Aziel (AZ) Jackson, but terms with his Poland club Jagiellonia Białystok are still being worked on, @pioneerpress.bsky.social source said Friday. Will Hanson had connection first. Context: Jackson is NOT one of the transfer targets I reported on Thursday.

#MNUFC joined MLS in 2017 and since then they have finished no higher than 9th place and on average they have finished in 15th place in a league that had 22 teams when they joined and now has 30. Beating us in our home isn’t much of a feat right now and maybe never has been.
Bruce McGuire@brucedunord.bsky.social · 3d agoFC Juarez joined Liga MX in 2019 and since then they have finished no higher than 11th place and on average they have finished in 14th place in an 18 team league This is who @mnufc.com lost to last night, AT HOME
MN-Prophecy Rating: That can’t be the only way for the Loons to win another game … is it?
The Big Z@iamcurious.bsky.social · 4d agoHmmm. I've noticed a trend of teams with fired coaches winning their next game. Given the lack of fire in the Loons, I say they go down 1-0.
Still time to make a prediction!!!
The Loony Bin@loonybinpodcast.bsky.social · 4d agoAnd just like that, the Leagues Cup is here for #MNUFC as they face a FC Juárez team that lost 5-1 this weekend and subsequently fired their head coach. Is today the day the Loons get the W or will they continue to muddle in their own mediocrity? What’s your MN-Prophecy for this evening’s match?
Missed opportunity to get a Kayne Rizvanovich photo into the announcement ... he's our closest thing to a #USMNT ready player.
Minnesota United FC@mnufc.com · 4d agoNEWS | @usmnt.ussoccer.com returns to Allianz Field on October 6 to face Canada in an international friendly! Presales start Thursday, beginning with MNUFC Season Ticket Members at 10 a.m. CT. More » https://utd.mn/4z3MHU7

#MNUFC will now play both of their Leagues Cup matches this week against teams that have fired their head coaches in the last 10 days. If ever there was an opportunity to get on track offensively, this would be the week.
Cabine Desportiva@cabinedesportiva.bsky.social · 6d agoOFICIAL | Pedro Caixinha deixa o comando técnico do FC Juárez.
“119: Stumbling Out of the Re-Starting Blocks” is live! We debate if “unbeaten in 2” overrules “winless in 7” for #MNUFC and we get ready for the Leagues Cup which includes a matchup against a giant of Liga MX on Friday.

MN-Prophecy Rating: Leagues Cup Time!
Hal Heinze@hsquared8.bsky.social · last wk.Loons desperately need a win before heading into the “Tournament No One Cares About” break. We need superheros to emerge and score. Feels like a good day for Dieng and Trapp to each notch a goal because…well…umm…who else is gonna do it? 2-1. COYL - Wonderwall needs to be sung.
MN-Prophecy Rating: Need to win a game at some point to secure new fans.
Evan Leduc@morimini.bsky.social · 7d agoIf i had to wager it is the most boring game a new fan of soccer can watch 1-0 off a set piece loons zero new fans secured
MN-Prophecy Rating: Gall bladder has more to say than we think.
Bill Childs@billchilds.bsky.social · last wk.I'm going with my heart this week. It is fairly aligned with my head, actually. Less so with my gall bladder, weirdly, but my pituitary gland is fully in agreement. Anyway: 2-1 win; Dieng gets on the scoresheet.
MN-Prophecy Rating: Someday Momo will score. We just need to keep predicting it.
Tim “Los Ingobernables de Minnesota" Nichols@timcities555.bsky.social · 7d agoWe tie 1-1 but Momo scores. Allianz is a land of contrasts
MN-Prophecy Rating: Thank you, James, for everything.
Mark@markoftheeast.bsky.social · last wk.Loons mgmt, unaware season is happening, are confused as thousands of fans enter the stadium. Then try to secure a third loan for Speel to fill transaction void. Players & coaches left frustrated once again—1-1 draw—which lands them in 10th place come Sunday am. A 349th James tribute is posted.
MN-Prophecy Rating: Owners vote and consensus is reached, Loons will only ever draw at home … forever!
David Mayberry@dmayberry.bsky.social · last wk.Ted’s not saving the Loons. New spending rules won’t save the Loons (might sink them though!). Emerging consensus is another draw. Sure. Sounds great and somewhat fun. Until they figure out attacking and some goals, that’ll have to be enough. #MNUFC
MN-Prophecy Rating: Your version is better Jamo!
Jamo!@jamnick.bsky.social · 7d agoChancalay and Markanich goals, 2-1 Wonderwall
What pisses me off the most about this call is that Tim Ford is screened by a San Diego players at the moment of contact. He has a bad angle and decides that the player who throws himself to the ground on the edge of the box, running away from goal, should get the game changing call. #MNUFC
CJ Fogler@cjzero.bsky.social · 7d agoLoons commit a foul at the end of the box which is a penalty for San Diego, Dreyer then yells something at Callender who knocks him on his ass. Tie game, each gets a yellow
It’s been 105 days since #MNUFC won an MLS regular season home game. Is tonight the night the team gets back on track? What’s your MN-Prophecy for tonight’s matchup against Anders “Washer and” Dryer and San Diego FC?
