MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota United fans packed Brit’s Pub to watch the Loons take on the L.A. Galaxy in the semifinals.
The Galaxy are favored to win, but Loons fans told KARE 11 to never underestimate the underdogs.
“I think as things are lining up in this MLS Cup some of the underdogs are winning games if you look across the East none of those top seeds are in it anymore,” said James Mitchell.
He said if Minnesota beats Los Angeles they would play Seattle next, giving them an opportunity to try and beat Seattle in their house. He said if all goes well there’s a change the Loons could host a home cup final in December.
Mikaela Bush has been cheering this team on since 2017. She went to the inaugural game with her dad and remembers the snow and the loss.
Bush has loved watching this team grow over the years and loves all of the volunteering the players do in the community. She’s proud her team has made it this far.
“We didn’t have a coach in the beginning of the season, there’s been player changes, so just starting from the home opener in March to where we are not it’s night and day,” Bush said.
Ellen Livscheets said watching the Loons play is electric, especially at Brit’s Pub.
“Watching them play in this club house is so much fun is so much fun the energy is insane, and Minnesota fans are always Minnesota fans, and they come through even in the bad times and the good,” she said. “I just love this team so much, and they deserve a win after everything they’ve been through.”
