It’s gonna be a long season, Loons fans. That’s no reason not to be optimistic. But what did you expect? You’ve watched your team in the lower leagues for decades, and you’ve watched MLS, right?
Without question you’ve noticed the difference: speed. Speed is always the difference when moving from one level to the next, whether that is high school to college or college to pro. Or, in this case, lower division to MLS. The fact is, there are too many players on the pitch for the Loons that aren’t up to the speed of play, so far.
