Footy season is here!

Filed under: Imported

The Minnesota Thunder open their season tonight in Portland at 9 p.m. CST. The team returns 11 key players from last season, when they went 13-9-6 and were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. The Thunder did suffer one huge loss: central defender Dustin Brannan. An indomitable force in back throughout last season, Brannan's now suiting up for the Kansas City Wizards. Alejandro Diaz, a 6' 5", 31-year-old native of Uruguay will try and fill Brannan's role this year. Much of the team's fate will hinge on whether Diaz is up to the task. A live radio broadcast of tonight's match can be found here. The Thunder's home opener is next Saturday at the Metrodome. Lord knows why it's not at The Jimmy. As usual, all Thunder news can be tracked at Blue Sky Soccer.

The Indomitable Drinky Crows, currently tied for first place in the Cities Sports Connection Inter B co-ed rec league, also return to the pitch this weekend. We take on the Lot Lizards on Sunday morning at the unseemly hour of 9:15 a.m.
