The Daves I Know

We're back! We get together to discuss all (most) of the offseason moves so far for the Loons, what we like, what we don't like, and not really pontificating on the future of the squad! Damn it feels good to be back.

Well, that was the end of a soccer season. We kinda break it down, speculate a bit on the upcoming offseason, discuss Aurora, the Gophers, and a potentially lucrative opportunity for people to kick soccer balls at a Dave's head. Plus the epic story about how Zeller absolutely fucked himself this weekend.

Some new beginnings, we theorize what could be, if only we defy all history in Kansas. That's pretty much it!

Episode 300!!!! WE DID IT. So clearly we needed to get Episode 32, 69, 200, and now Episode 300 guest, the voice of my Loons, Chris Lidholm on the pod to regale us with stories. He has a nice one about Heath. We vaguely talk about other soccer, but let's be honest, you're mostly here for Lidholm soccer stories and Greder being a coward!

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! So naturally we needed to record an emergency podcast.

A Dave is sick, so we mostly chucked the format and still got about 50 minutes of audio content for ya! We lament what might've been this year, but for our inability to close out matches and we look forward to what is more than likely the make-or-break week for the Loons and their Snake Plissken-esque Escape from LA. We also talked about a busy week of Gopher soccer and some Once An Aurora (???)....

A sad soliloquy on an entirely predictable end of the season.

The Nicest Rivalry in Sports sucks and MN does a lot of sucking in front of goal once again. The gang breaks down the match, from the inability of the Loons to finish, a really poor refereeing performance, and gives some props to Boxall. After the break, we discuss Gopher soccer and preview the two-match week with matches away to the Galaxy and home to top-of-the-table St. Louis City.

No Jess this week, so an MJ and a Dave discuss the dramatic wet fart of a match between the Revolution and the Loons last weekend. We also briefly touch on the upcoming USMNT match and preview the Sporks coming to town on Saturday. A short one, you know, for a change!

A two-match week and 4 big points for the Loons. They get the tonic for their home form with a visit from the CRapids before going to San Jose and getting a (deserved?) draw. We briefly break those matches down and talk about some Gopher soccer, Aurora players signing in France and winning UWCL matches and preview the Arena-less Revs coming to town on Saturday.

It was another quick one as Zeller had a slightly stressed-out travel day. We discuss the Loon's chaotic defending, some big saves from DSC, and the points dropped against Seattle. After the break, a quick recap of the Gophers Lake Michigan trip and previews of the upcoming Colorado Rapids and San Jose Earthquakes matches. Plus a very brief recap of the Spanish FA being shit and some Everton and L...

The last MNFD podcast of the Women's World Cup and the gang is all here. We open up with a quick recap of the Semis and Third Place match before diving into the final. We talk about the game itself and also lament all of the fallout from the Spanish Federation being real fuckwads! We spend so much time on the toxic Spanish FA that we barely talk about Infantino not being the worst person at a Worl...

A quick one, because a Dave is in NYC and forgot to bring his charger to the bar. It doesn't mean we don't go full-on with the match against NYCFC, we also hit Gophers soccer and preview the Loons match at Allianz on Sunday against Seattle.

A disappointing loss at Nashville ended what started off as a fun week with a superb penalty shootout win against Toluca. Plus Jess has two Hot or Not segments on this podcast as well. After the break, we get a Gopher soccer preview with MJ and then preview the upcoming match on Sunday against NYCFC, at Citi Field. Finally a touch of WWC talk. If you want more on this amazing World Cup, check out...

Quarterfinals are in the books and the MN Futbol Daves are back to discuss each one. Rodrigo mourns for Japan, we all mourn for Colombia, and Zeller is all the way up on his high horse about Australia.

We get Dan back for our annual EPL preview. We eschewed conventional previews and just ask questions. Also we recorded this in person at the Black Hart, eat a dick COVID!

The MN Futbol Daves are back to breakdown the Round of 16 matches, give a briefish post-mortem of the USWNT early exit and talk about the upcoming QFs, plus a Dave makes a very bold prediction!

We're back, with a short one this time, recapping the Leagues Cup Round of 32 match versus the Columbus Crew. Christian Ramirez scores, but the Loons prevail, basically the perfect outcome! We also cover all of the transfer deadline moves, including the Loons making two of the most MLSy moves of all time welcome back an old friend! After the break, Gophers soccer is back, Aurora players are winnin...

The MN Fu Daves are back to recap the last round of group-stage matches. We admire the Reggae Girlz and South Africa making it through to the Knockout Rounds, talk about a possible Morocco miracle run again, and just generally bathe in how awesome this tournament has been and how it has defied all of the narratives about it being bad. We also spend some time on the Cupsets, Germany, Canada, and Br...

A Dave, an MJ, and a Jess are back together again baybee! They discuss a disappointing loss to the Chicago Fire, including Kei Kamara scoring another goddamn goal against the Loons and the Loons advancing in the Leagues Cup. Most importantly though, another Bongi brace! After the break, MN Super Cup action, Aurora players on the move to Europe, a quick and dirty preview of Columbus, and then some...

The MN Futbol Daves are back together to recap the 2nd round of World Cup matches in New Zealand & Australia. We discussed Brazil and Germany's ups and downs, marveling at the Linda Caicedo story and Colombia generally, worrying about South Korea, and applauded the African federations teams so far. We also spent some time discussing the USA-Netherlands match from Wednesday and we all have a slight...

The Leagues Cup is here! So, we discuss the Leagues Cup, starting with the Loons' beatdown of Puebla at Allianz Field. We also discuss MPLS City, some more WoSo, and briefly preview the second Leagues Cup match against the Chicago Fire. We also briefly touch on the WWC, but check out the MN Futbol Daves for more of that content!

The Minnesota Futbol Daves are back for the World Cup! Eric, Rodrigo, Nubia, and a Dave, are getting together to discuss the Women's World Cup in New Zealand and Australia. First, we kick off with some quick Leagues Cup reactions, ahead of the Puebla-Loons match this evening, then we get Nubia's WoSo thoughts on the NWSL Challenge Cup before getting to the main course which is the World Cup. We hi...

It's a Pukki Party! It's also a Dotson Party! We are feeling pretty good about the Loons this week ahead of the kick off of Leagues Cup. We also Chat @mplscitysc, @mnaurorafc and Puebla!

We're back with a lot of soccer to discuss from the state of MN. We also welcome Thunderwall president and Revontulet Match Day Lead, Daniel Ditmanson. We brought Daniel on to discuss the matches, but also Daniel's road to soccer supporters stuff and the formation of Thunderwall. Oh yeah, we also discuss all of the soccering!
