I’m a Minnesota sports fan and it shows: match‑day diaries from Allianz Field and Target Center, trips to see Messi play, and reflections on hockey, football and more. Photos, weather notes and final scores capture each outing.

    MN United v Sporting KC

    Saturday Morning Soccer

    Harry Kane’s goal while falling this morning was amazing! Brilliant! ⚽️🤩🙌 Go Spurs! 1-0

    Premier League VAR rulings for offsides seem impossible for players. It’s impossible to know you are 1 inch ahead of a player many yards away from you. Does it make the game better? Doesn’t seem too.

    Tough loss for Spurs this morning to Leicester City 1-2. Ugh. Now time for Bundesliga with Bayern v Köln. Great Lewandowski goal in 2nd minute to take early lead 1-0! ⚽️
