Minnesota United is about to embark on the most important part of its season. The next stretch of games will determine how fans remember the campaign. Everyone has their own criteria for what will make United’s inaugural season a success or failure, but all can agree on one thing: the team should continually improve.
There were no real expectations of the Loons at the start of this season. Some fans were cautiously optimistic, thinking that Minnesota could slip into the playoffs with the right amount of luck. On the other hand, there were those who feared that their team would sink to the bottom of both the league and the record books as one of the worst ever.
