Our award-adjacent coverage of all angles of the American soccer landscape.
The gang gets back together to discuss a 3 point match that definitely felt like a loss and tries to decide if Frank Pain is good or bad and if his alter ego is Almond Cream.
There is also a fun discussion on some fun (depressing) facts about MNUFC. We also talk magic numbers and tell you who to root for on Wednesday!
After the break, it is lots of women’s soccer, including the Gophers, MNWOSO, and NWSL. Finally we breakdown a very important two-match week, with surprising (for us) detail.
A 1-point-week and some pretty dreadful play have left the gang a bit nonplussed. Plus the Front Office has decided to double-down on a shitty COVID policy, which always sucks. There is also a discussion about what it will take for the Loons to make the playoffs.
Then we discuss the situation in the NWSL (TW: We discuss the recent sexual abuse scandal in North Carolina, while we don’t discuss specifics, we do discuss the fallout, which starts around 52:30). We wrap up the podcast by discussing Gopher soccer, how in the hell we will play the CRapids without 4 possible starters, and briefly chat the USMNT team.

MJ is back and we discuss the Loons match versus Houston before diving into a two-match week.
Most importantly we are joined by Minneapolis City manager Matt Vanbenschoten (@mschoten) to discuss Minneapolis City, the move to USL2, and drinking beers with Carl Craig!
No MJ this week, unfortunately, but lots to talk about, so we briefly discuss the fucking debacle that was Sporks midweek.
The main point of the show was the dismantling of LA Galaxy on Saturday, we have lots of thoughts and thirsts for the men on the pitch!
We also discuss United news, briefly talk about the Dylan Wolpers Derby 8.0 and discuss one good team in Liverpool.
*Note: From about minute 20 to minute 28, Zeller’s mic is a bit crackly, apologies, or something.
The gang is back together to discuss powder parties in Tonka, why a certain co-host might not have been getting the best toot back in the early 2000’s and why a Dave (we aren’t going to name them) should probably get their money back.
Oh yeah, some soccering happened too. Oh and there will be more soccering this week and Tee-shirts (maybe)!
We bring on a very special guest to give us the lowdown on the Seattle Sounders, @CrazyCalico. She is a longtime Sounders fan, with roots dating back to the NASL days…
We also discuss the disappointing USMNT performances, some Loons abroad, Golden Gopher soccer, and Crows v Mingos!
Finally, we discuss the Sounders with an actual Sounders fan who knows more players than just the Roldan brothers. Spoiler Alert, Zeller is the only one who predicts victory!
The Daves discuss a very ugly win in Houston, and boy, do they have problems. They also briefly discuss the recent Ethan Finlay quotes in the Fishwrap Factory Westside and break down some Loonz Newz.
After the break, it’s Minneapolis City, Gophers Soccer, and some USMNT news about the upcoming start of the Octagonal.
It’s very much a hodgepodge kinda podcast with far too much discussion of the shit we watched on Saturday night.
The Daves have thoughts on MNUFC matches, especially lots of thoughts on the last two matches, the least of which is why haven’t we scored in the last 140+ minutes up a man, that’d be the first one! The second one is our absolute failure at scoring while up a man for 140 minutes. Otherwise, everything is cool, everything is fine.
A Dave and an MJ discuss the most recent match against the LA Galaxy. Honestly there isn’t much to discuss.
After the break it’s a Gopher gala and previewing not one, but two MNUFC matches this week. Join us for a podcast that is less than an hour!
