The Daves I Know

The gang is back together to discuss the Loons offseason so far. Did you all know that pre-season starts in less than a week?! We discuss our South African savior Bongokuhle Hlongwane (hopefully not butchering his name too much), discuss a shitty international friendly (oh hai Paderborn), and definitively state that we are anti-pistol whipping 16-year-olds. After the break, some MPLS City and MNWO...

It's a special episode as we have Eric Silva Brenneman of the MN Futbol show on to discuss Loons on the move, the brilliance of CONMEBOL, and we answer some listener questions. Strap it on!

The gang gets together to discuss a successful Dark Clouds auction, sweat an expansion draft, and look ahead to the schedule! After the break, it is MN WOSO news, David Moyes outs himself as a Tory asshole, and UEFA is also a fucking shitshow!

The gang gets together to discuss Reynoso being a bad, bad boy, MNUFC roster moves, and some contract news. Then MJ and Zeller talk Jess off a ledge re: MLS Next Pro and highlight some of the Dark Clouds End of Year Auction Items. After the break, we briefly chat about MLS playoffs, MNWOSO designs, Women's FA Cup Final, Jesse Marsch, and a brief Everton divergent.

The gang gets together to discuss the MNUFC 2021 season. Suffice to say, they all had different rankings, like literally, no one was on the same page. It was a glorious mess! We also briefly discussed the USMNT playing a WCQ in February in Minnesota and potential World Cup Qualifier action! Also, Jess is very sad that Ethan Finlay is no longer a Loon!

A disappointing loss in Portland for the Loons, but Jess got to experience her first-ever away day and she... has thoughts! Frank Pain decides to go full villain, there are some 2022 match announcements, and we wish a happy birthday to Juan Agudelo. Also, women's soccer is making news, we briefly discuss Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium, MNWOSO, and the NWSL final.

United Newz, DC Silent Auction update, and some Loons abroad! Then we break down dos a cero, lament points dropped in Jamaica, and preview a win in Portland!

We are all back together, live, and in-person for the shortest podcast this dumb podcast has ever recorded! We discuss the match against the LA Galaxy that the Loons tried to giveaway. Dave talks about his prowess as an MLS gambler and we discuss why in the ever-loving fuck was Frank Pain taking that penalty. All that, plus some NWSL playoffs, and we wish Captain Ozzie Alonso a happy birthday!

Jesus Fucking Christ! We had one job, literally, one, fucking, job. 3 points dropped in Vancouver, scraped 3 goddamn points against the the Sporks and now we need to get a result in LA. Let's fucking party!

A four-point week that should've been six, we briefly break down the mid-week match with Philadelphia and the weekend match with LAFC. Jess has some choice words for Allen Chapman too.  Then we discuss the Loons playoff chances, our magic number is 10, discuss a disappointing end to the Gophers season, ad wax poetically about Megan Rapinoe. After that we discuss the huge week coming up with a mid-...

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, an...

We hang out with Andy Greder, discuss things and shoot some shit!

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 spec...

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...

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....

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 sh...

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!

Did we just realize that the EPL was starting today? Maybe. Did we decide that we should do an EPL Preview at noon on Thursday? Definitely. So we definitively break down every team with no bias to any team whatsoever. Honestly, I think we broke things down pretty well, in the half-assed Dave's kinda way. We break every team down from A to Zed (spoiler alert, there isn't a Zed team in the EPL this...

All of the other MNUFC news! Rey is an All-Star get your game on, let's play! We have a new CEO and it isn't an old white guy (just an old white lady), plus departing Loons, some good, some bad. We also have some Gopher soccer, take that Privratsky!

Not much to discuss other than the fact that we have Alexi Lalas on the podcast! We ask him a bunch of questions and actually talk a bit about the Loons!

We are back, this time with much less trivia noise! 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...

We're back, another week and 3 more points for MNUFC! We discuss the Portland match, which we definitely deserved to win, Referee Marcos de Oliveira who definitely should have red-carded himself, and Juan Agudelo is... good? 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 tournament...
