Ethan Finlay Does Not Have a Dad Bod

We are back, this time with much less trivia noise, sorry ’bout that! We breakdown both 2-2 draws, one felt very much like a win, the other very much like a loss!

We also briefly discuss what is up with Wanchope, which MN celebrity we most want to buy into MNUFC, and whether or not Allianz will host a World Cup qualifier (Spoiler Alert, they won’t)!

After the break, we briefly chat about the upcoming Houston match and talk a little world soccer including a great USMNT performance and a disappointing USNWT performance!

We also talk about the brilliant MPLS City season(s), preview a big (hopefully 6 point) week for the Loons, and discuss the US teams who qualified for international tournaments (Spoiler Alert: Only the women did it the right way).

It’s finally here, an actual match week! But before we get to that we welcome Dark Clouds Silent Auction winner KJ.
