Ever since their NASL title run in 2011, Minnesota United fans have sung Oasis' "Wonderwall" after victories. Four games into their inaugural MLS season, the Loons found themselves with just one point and a minus-12 goal differential. To adapt a phrase from the Gallagher brothers, they needed someone to save them.
At the time, Minnesota was seen as something of a laughingstock, with many ready to deem the expansion side the worst MLS team of all time. After allowing five or more goals in three losses to Portland, Atlanta and New England, even the players themselves were surprised.
