Sounds like the start of a joke, right?
The one thing (of many) that became apparent during Minnesota United FC’s maiden voyage in Major League Soccer was the lack of strength up the middle of the pitch. The center back and midfield positions were a game of musical chairs early in the season. Defenders Michael Boxall, Francisco Calvo, Brent Kallman and Jerome Thiesson rotated in and out while midfielders Ibson, Sam Cronin, Kevin Molino and Collin Martin pitched in up the middle of the pitch.
