Loons head to San Diego for Western Conference semifinals
Minnesota United may be playing in the conference semifinals Monday night in San Diego, but despite advancing past Seattle in the first round of the MLS playoffs, the Loons are in the midst of what might be their worst stretch of their entire year.
Count their shootout victories against the Sounders as draws, and the Loons are mired in a four-game winless streak, with just one win in their last eight games across all competitions. This swoon comes at the end of a year in which Minnesota had only one regular-season winless streak that stretched as far as three games.
