Some Soccer News for May 23, 2017
It's Day 143 of 2017.
MINNESOTA UNITED
Abu Danladi out 2 to 3 weeks with groin muscle injury. Two articles, with a few different details:
"One door closes and another one opens for somebody else, so we have to wait and see who maybe steps up." - Adrian Heath.
But who is on the roster that COULD step up? We are left baffled by the absence of Kadrii, and Schuller is still dealing with a hip injury. Jome is not the answer. Could Davis or KVenegas play in the attack at all? Questions, questions. We dream of answers.
Minnesota United will field a Special Olympics team from the state of Minnesota that will play a home and away series against a Texas team from the Houston Dynamo. The 2 games will take place right after games between the 2 MLS teams, on Jul 19 in Minneapolis and Sep 30 in Houston.
Next Up:
-Sat May 27
Minnesota v Orlando - 7:00pm CT on My29
Both Minnesota and Orlando have a big time forward and if you compare the stats they're nearly identical in production:
Christian Ramirez
10026 minutes played
128 games
117 starts
70 goals
1 goal every 143 minutes
4 yellow cards
0 red cards
Cyle Larin

I am not sure how to figure out Philadelphia. After not winning a game in what felt like years (aka 16 games) they have now won 4 in a row. What gives? Why? How? I literally have no answers. But they have done it, and it is good. In those 4 games they have scored 11 goals and allowed 1. Their fans should be chanting, "It's a miracle!"
