I totally missed this yesterday, but Michael Boxall didn't train today for #MNUFC because he got called up for New Zealand, replacing Finn Surman in the All Whites squad.
Just a nice short jaunt to Japan for him, no big deal (comparatively)

Cherrion Valerius is shorter than both Maurice Malone and Kelvin Yeboah, or at least no taller. At best that makes him 6’0”. This has been your hard-hitting on-the-ground #MNUFC height report
I don’t have official measurements or anything, and perhaps it’s just a gait or posture thing, but right now I’m saying that Cherrion Valerius is not 6’3” like a couple of sites said he was.
Us Northern sickos would love some out-of-market dissection of the #MNUFC nose dive, particularly when the underlyings suggest they shouldn't be *this* bad.

#MNUFC may not have been good, like really good, in the past. But the moves they made - and the moves they chose not to make - mean that they're now also no longer good enough.
“126: We Need to Take a Break” is live!
We’re joined by @jonmarthaler.com because misery loves company as we discuss the loss in Seattle that runs the losing streak to five. And we preview the Houston home game in two weeks that pits the #MNUFC losing streak against a team that’s never won in MN.
Again, the commitment to the bit … unmatched. #MNUFC
So #MNUFC actually finished with more xG than Seattle last night, according to @futi.live, because - if I am reading this chart correctly - Maurice Malone’s missed chance was the first one in soccer history that was worth more than 1 xG
Love Bongi's composure here. Instead of forcing a 1v1 or rushing a cross to Caldeira, he lets the play develop for a split second & finds Ant with a great cutback.

Let's get your eight-word reactions to #SEAvMIN
Expected Loons trend:
Their Pcts have remained steady in this stretch of 💩, but their opponents have found areas to *really* excel. FSeattle was no different. #MNUFC (h/t @xgpostfacto.bsky.social)
🚨 2026 In-Season Depth Chart 📊
A struggling #MNUFC side now has five losses on the bounce after falling last night in Seattle
Loons fans are frustrated when they hear the same meaningless comments from coaches/players after yet another horrible showing. I’ve decided to translate—this is what they really mean.
We got off to a good start” (Okay start, but not being down 2-0 in 8 minutes is considered good) 1/
