When Minnesota United officially joined the MLS last spring, I said sign me up. When they brought back Christian Ramirez from the NASL squad, lured Miguel Ibarra from Liga MX, and hired an attack-minded coach in Adrian Heath, well, let’s just say it was love at first sight.
After Saturday’s 5-2 road loss to previously winless New England, I am reminded of a line uttered by the Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride: “Love is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.”
