A row about effort at Minnesota United FC

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nicolás Romero was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

A falling-out at Minnesota United FC

Greg Sandiford and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Ricardo Wright stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ricardo Wright and Minnesota United FC agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The Nicolás Romero question follows Minnesota United FC around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Nicolás Romero’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Bautista Lippi asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

A door opens for John Pulisic

Ricardo Wright signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ricardo Wright commits to Minnesota United FC for another 3 years.

Enrique González falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Minnesota United FC keep their word to Enrique González

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The Nectar Triantis story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Nectar Triantis signs something — a contract at Minnesota United FC or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The manager makes an example of John Pulisic

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
