Game Central
Game Presented by Coors Light
The Loons bounced back in a big way last week with a dominant 3-1 win over longtime rival Sporting Kansas City. Now, the Loons look to extend their success into the international window while nine of the Boys in Black and Blue will be away representing their nations when MNUFC face FC Dallas in the Midway this Saturday evening. The team from the Lone Star State has struggled as of late, and they are coming to Allianz Field riding a four-match winless run. The road has been ruthless for Dallas as well, with only two points earned in eight road games so far this season. The Loons come into this game highly favored due to their dominant start to the season, but with many key pieces missing, it will be a true test to the depth of the team and shine a light on who most embodies the "next man up" mentality. To catch all of the action in person, purchase your ticket now at SeatGeek.com. Can't come to Allianz Field? No problem; there are plenty of ways to watch. Join your fellow faithful fans at a Loons Watch Spot for food, drinks, and a fun football experience. Stream the game with Apple TV's MLS Season Pass or listen in on 1500 ESPN or Sirius XM.
