It was an epic night in DC. We got to witness one of the best Union performances of the season against the team we dislike the most.

What a terrible, terrible game. The Union turned in probably the worst performances of the season in Montreal on Saturday. There were many obvious flaws, from Gaddis to...

After the break we preview the Chicago game as well as some discussion on the Women's World Cup and what a Un...

What a weird week of soccer. We get into the "studio" and "analyze" we saw from the two Union games (It was a looong weekend full of many soccer games, including winning a freaking world cup (!!) so our recap of the week's games got a bit rough, bare with us). After we stumble through talking about the 4 points in 5 days against Orlando we get into what we might see from Salt Lake next week and ge...

Nobody likes to talk about losses, and yet this was our longest episode yet.

And there are actual games coming up! We preview the Revs and NYCFC games coming up this week and give our takes on what we might...

It's been a while since the Union have had a regular season game and ten whole days since the Doopy Brothers stumble through a podcast episode. We dust off the ol' mics and let rip an episode that timed perfectly with the Andrew Wooten (!!) official announcement. The second segment gets weird with some proposed rule changes to the game that AJ has thought up, they're... interesting. A fun episode...

After a rough first half, the Union pulled off one of the most memorable comeback wins in team history. We dive into all things regarding the cheat code/magician/God that is Ilsinho as well as the other 10 players that watched him win this game for us.
