Goal fest in Minnesota, who lead NY City 3-2 at HT in MLS.

Finishes 3-3. Boxall 90 mins.
Minnesota's first game at their new stadium Allianz Field.
Johnson NY City's keeper with a complete mare for Minnesota's 3rd.
Not a great game for Boxall & Co. Lose 4-3 at Toronto after being up 3-2. Also two Minnesota players are sent off late.
Toronto's Pozuelo a hit already in the MLS.
Jeez, he got made to look a bit silly for Toronto's last goal. Ball basically nipped off his nose...
I'm sure he'll be disappointed, but Minnesota are looking a lot more threatening as a team this year. Just need to sort out that defence, conceding 7 in the past 2. Not going to win too many matches of football if they can't tighten up.

Pozuelo could be a bigger hit at TFC than Giovinco.
Interesting yesterday TFC,Leafs,Raptors and Blue Jays all won.
Penance for some howlers last week, finds Boxall on the bench as Minnesota host Zlatan and the Galaxy.

On the bench again. This time Minnesota beat DC United 1-0 at home.
Rooney got 90 mins for DC.
On the pine as Minnesota draw 1-1 with Seattle Sounders.
Unfortunately in the 3 games Boxall has been benched, Minnesota have only conceded 1 goal. All 3 matches have been at home, and still yes early in the season, so time for him to come back in.
However likely his howlers in the Toronto game won't be forgotten in a hurry.
If he continues to be on the outer over the next few months, Boxall snr may consider a move away from the US. A possible return to Wgtn if offered the Nix captaincy? Happy to start some wild speculation. The whole licence issue would need to be resolved first you would imagine.
Others to watch will be Wynne & Smith. Both Huddo pickups at the Rapids. They could become surplus to requirements at Colorado as the MLS season moves along.
I feel Durante retires then Boxall on the right, Steve in the middle and Wynne on the left of a three man centre defence would be fine
Auckland will rise once more

Okay in that case could probably only work, if come say around October Minnesota were out of the MLS playoff hunt, and Boxall was then just a squaddie fixture in their setup. In that instance Minnesota may release him early on a free.
Will be interesting if in next few months he can get back into starting eleven, or if the slide becomes a bit permanent.

Surely meaning CB instead of RB?

Going to play and live in South Africa, as he did was really all about money I’d suggest.
Sounds like he's been really poor for Minnesota; so I wouldn't be surprised if he was released.
a.haak
Would love him to come back and start as our captain
Is he good enough to replace Dura? As Rudan showed start from the back and build forward.

Boxall is definitely prone to regular errors, just don't think we have many better kiwi choices at the moment.

Next question- is he good enough for tempting money and can we offer it?
He's a very good CB. I thought I read somewhere he was on about $US 250k or did I imagine that? Surely we could afford that for a starting CB?
VUW AFC - Victoria University Football for life

Would Singh or Cacace qualify for a youth marquee as that would fall out of the cap etc if we needed to make room?
I'd sign him in a heart beat - him and Smith would make a decent pairing in the back with Taylor.

Thatd be Krishna money

Krishna allegedly turned down $750k (Aus) per season for three seasons from the Bitumens, so yes, one would think so.
Full 90 in a 1-0 win over Columbus.
Minnesota beat Houston Dynamo 1-0 at home.
90 mins Boxall.
Looks like quite a cool stadium they have built there in Minnesota.
Designated standing with metal lenders at one end.
90 plus mins as Minnesota lose 3-0 in Atlanta.
Was only 1-0 until 90 min mark. Home team score twice late on the counter.
Impressive crowds in Atlanta.
Boxall with a saved shot.
Atlanta's double goal scorer Martinez (one of 4 Argies in starting lineup) with ugliest teeth you will see.
Boxall's CB partner Opara with a late very bad brain fade.
Fark, this guy is such a good player, it's sad that he's spending time on the bench in a poor MLS side
Hopefully he can sort his slump out soon
