Minnesota Thunder Live at Brit's Pub

Filed under: Imported

The Minnesota Thunder will be a decided underdog going into Saturday's championship showdown with the Charleston Battery in South Carolina. In the 13-year history of the A League, only one visiting team has taken home the title. Which is strange, given that attendance at these matches is generally on par with that for rec-league kickball.

Based on the Thunder's performance last weekend, in which they systematically shut down the Seattle Sounders, the team's chances should not be discounted. The defense was particularly brilliant on Sunday, with the twin towers of Mark Schulte and rookie Dustan Branan squelching any semblance of a Seattle attack. Then there's Johnny Torres, who for the second week in a row sent a brilliant blast into the back of the net to seal the victory. After a ho-hum season, Torres has become a dynamo in the playoffs.

The championship match, which is being broadcast on Fox Sports World, will be shown live at 6 p.m. at Brit's Pub in downtown Minneapolis. Show up. Show the team some love.
