The Daves I Know

We discuss the three amazing Loons matches and break down some playoff scenarios. Ultimately we have some fun with Gopher soccer and @everton being bad.

A Catch-Up podcast on the month that was for Minnesota United, including some fun SKC facts, checking in on the new guys, and a fairly detailed breakdown of the playoff race/chase.

A Dave, MJ and a Dan get together to discuss all of the recent Loons moves both in and out of the club. They discuss how the new signings might fit in and speculate about how the team will lineup on Saturday! Later they recap the USWNT Gold Medal run, the hiring of Poch for the Men's team, and some brief European soccer.

We're back to break down the Leagues Cup matches for the Loons and highlight the recent spate of signings. Then we spent the bulk of the episode discussing the US Women and Men (but let's face it, the Women's tournament has been better) Olympic adventures. Including some interesting substitution patterns for Hayes, A Swanson renaissance, Trinity Rodman with bangers, and a basically average Men's t...

We're back to discuss the Loons not super great week briefly, but hey, they did Make a Wish and get off the losing train, so baby steps. More importantly, Bridget and Nubia are joining Dave to help discuss the US Olympic soccer teams. Firstly, a brief discussion of the men's team, followed by a much deeper dive on the women's team.

We have a full podcast this week as Nubia, Eric and Rodrigo join MJ and Dave to briefly discuss the Loons, MPLS City and Aurora, before deep-diving into the EUROs and the chaos that was CONMEBOL and COPA America '24. As always, the MN Futbol Show brings the receipts.

Two Loons matches and two new ways to lose. Eric, MJ, and Dave briefly discuss the most recent Loons losses and chat about what has gone wrong with the team and who, if anyone, is at fault for the recent slide in form. Bright side, we actually think they played well the last few matches. After Loons news we discuss MN Super Cup and MN Aurora before wrapping up the pod with EURO & COPA thoughts. Er...

The MN Futbol Show Boys join to discuss Loons, but mostly to talk Euros and Copa. What is wrong with Mexico, can the US survive (spoiler alert, they can't), and what is up with this Eastern European futbol renaissance? Also, we find out in real-time Aurora is not hosting playoffs for some fucking reason!

The less said about the Loons the better, so we dispense with the Loons quickly and since we are joined by Brazilian correspondent Eric Silva Brenneman to talk all things Copa America and Euro 2024. We also chat briefly about the Loons transfer rumors and Minnesota Aurora FC is very close to clinching their third straight Heartland Title.

Kaleb joins the TDIK pod for the first time and we talk about bringing our toddlers to the match last Saturday. Spoiler Alert: A lot of girl-dadding in this one! Zeller tells a story about making fun of Jesus Ferreria, the guys talk about the valuable point secured, and MN kids on the pitch. We also discuss all of the other soccer happenings in the Twin Cities this month, specifically Aurora and M...

Zero points in LA but three points against the Sporks, completes a pretty intense 8 days. Jess and Zeller briefly discuss both matches before addressing the fact that 10!!! International Loons will be unavailable for the upcoming Pride match against FC Dallas.

It's a Memorial Day Miracle, A Bridget and a Dave get together in person to laugh at Fortuna Dusseldorf, but more importantly discuss the stupidest MNUFC match ever. We don't necessarily mean that in a bad way, but boy howdy was it fucking stupid. Plus lower division soccer is really in full force and we hype up MPLS City SC & Aurora!

2 matches, 4 points, Good Loons? We discuss the good vibes of the team, hockey line changes, & set pieces. Also, MPLS City SC and Aurora are finally back in action for an action-packed 6 weeks of soccer

The Loons Went Down to Georgia.. And Came Back with a Soul! We talk about another Loons road win, including some butt-hole-clenching defense, Tani Time (again), and Papa Arriaga having himself one helluva week!

Dave, MJ & Jess are back to break down a wonderful 2-1 victory over the Sporks, make fun of Peter Vermes, and amaze at our manager's ability to make in-match changes and just be an overall awesome guy.

A Dave, MJ, and Bridget get together to discuss Loon's optimism. Did you know you can change formations and adjust to maximize your player's abilities, also you can reward young guys for late match performances? We didn't know that either.

Eric, Bridget and a Dave get together to discuss the Loons match from last Saturday. They discuss slow starts, what they'd like the team to do to change that, and what to do about Reynoso. Also discussed are new MLS substitution and injury rules, going into effect this weekend. And because we have some MN Futbol Show folks, we get into some world football!

We welcome Colin to the TDIK fold and discuss Tani Time, Loons starting slow, and what to do about Reynoso. We also get some MPLS City tea, talk about Aurora and learn that Colin is in an improv group!

After an international break, we (very) briefly recap the Friendly win against St. Patrick's Athletic and Open Cup victory over Chicago, then spend a little more time discussing the issues in the 2-0 losses to Philly & Michigan Stars FC.

Are the Loons... fun? ESB joins MJ and Zeller to discuss the new manager, his tactics, his experience, and his vibes. That is the framework we use to discuss the Loons thrilling 2-0 win over defending (and presently reeling) Western Conference Champs LAFC.

A new joint, by Ragnar Zellburg, The podcast of Books

A short one, as it was just MJ and Zeller, this was recorded live at the Black Hart so apologies for the slightly less-than-stellar audio, particularly from MJ's mic. We discuss the Loons new knack for grabbing points late, can we press for 34+ matches, some slightly dodgy defending, and being lucky which is often better than being good.

We back! And we're vibing, both literally and figuratively! We have a slightly different format, very similar banter, and a couple of announcements. We discuss the Season & Home Openers, FO moves, USOC and MJ's really upset (like far too upset ;) ) about the new UCLformat coming next year.

Seriously??? We hastily threw together a one-hour podcast that is somehow more than an hour, silly us!

It's been almost two months since we recorded and lots of stuff happened, and almost kinda didn't do anything. We try to recap all of it, at least to the best of our abilities. Also if you have any thoughts on the format going forward in 2024, please reach out to us, via Carrier Pigeon or yelling at Zeller at the bar!
