Tonight, it will be a different kind of Monday Night Football. Minnesota United FC takes on FC Dallas tonight in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Let’s show our support for the Loons. Hopefully, we’ll be hearing the song “Wonderwall” tonight!

 

Traditionally, music has been a sure way to hype up a crowd in the world of football. Let’s highlight the songs played in soccer stadiums around the world. For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what soccer anthems do you want to hear?
