Minny (9th in the West) host San Jose Earthquakes (14th/last).
A nice favour from Minnesota would be Boxy already on the plane to France.
Otherwise he will be a very late fatigued arrival (3 MLS games in 7 days) prior NZ's crunch Guinea game. Need to beat Guinea you feel to have any hope of getting out of the group like at Tokyo.
From Flying Kiwis. Boxy missed Minny's game on the weekend as was suspended. Handy rest before the Olympics but sounds like he didn't fly out any earlier than the initial plan.
Boxall’s sixth yellow card of the season and thus he was suspended for their match against San Jose. Didn’t have to do three games in seven days before the Olympics after all. Not that he took an early flight or anything – Boxy was there in the stands watching as the Loons won 2-0... finally ending the rut.

With 119 clearances this season, Michael Boxall leads the entirety of Major League Soccer. He turned 36 years old a fortnight ago but he’s not slowing down, stringing together another extremely accomplished season of defensive football. After a 2-1 win against San Jose Earthquakes, his Minnesota United team are right there in the playoff hunt with seven matches remaining. They had some wobbles earlier in the year, most notably that six-game losing streak in June-July... but they’re back on the horse now.
Wow! It's so interesting because he has made some poor mistakes this season. He definitely needs more help in that defensive unit. They concede nearly every game. They should be higher up the table but for the defensive error. We'll done Boxie
