Loons GK Tyler Miller discusses MLS FIFA20 tourney, staying in touch with teammates

After joining Minnesota United in the offseason, goalie Tyler Miller won his first two games with the Loons thanks in part to having ten players in front of him. But he’ll be all alone next time he represents his club.

Miller is the Loons representative in the upcoming single-elimination Major League Soccer FIFA20 video game tournament.
