Minnesota sports and heartbreaks go together like red and green at Christmas time. It’s the best. It gives us in Wisconsin a source of laughter on a regular basis. Some in Minnesota could say that we shouldn’t laugh at them because we’ve had our own heartbreak. True, but it’s not typically in an agonizing fashion. For us, we typically make the playoffs with a great regular season then disappoint everyone like we’re an angsty teenager. Laughing at Minnesota’s pain is part of our healing process. Therefore seeing the Minnesota United blow a 2-0 lead in the final 20 minutes to Seattle to miss out on the MLS Cup was delicious.

I know we do not do much soccer here, but I can tell you as someone who watches occasionally plus gambles on it, this is bad. They’re in the lead with the final 23 minutes of the game to go. They’re up two goals. At worst, maybe you go to extra time and a penalty shootout to decide. But no, you lose in regulation. They do say 2-0 is the most dangerous in soccer or hockey. This is proof. All Minnesota had to do was shut the door in this game and it didn’t happen. Things you hate to see.
