The People's Pitch

Recorded live at the Futures game, we talk about how our 100th competitive game came with a double order of goals but the Crows fell to the upstarts RKC. Plus, those Futures just keep on rolling!

We're here with recaps of the season opening loss against St. Croix and the Futures claw back from adversity in the UPSL Midwest West.

Something stinky is afoot in Oklahoma as the NPSL has decided that league mainstays (and friends of the Club) Tulsa Athletic no longer meets the minimum requirements to host games. We talk to our old friend, Tulsa owner Sonny Dalesandro, about the situation the club finds itself in and why lower league soccer always seems to eat its own tail.

The summer of 2023 is here and Matchweek 1 is in the books. We recap the action and look ahead - both for the Futures and for Carl Craig's USL2 squad. Plus, it's Tulsa vs. the NPSL and I think you know what side we're on.

The 2023 season is here! We recap the UPSL opener against Vlora and preview the MN Super Cup game against MNUFC U19. Plus, we finish our player signing introductions, covering off on the returning players.

We recognize two retiring players, wrap up the new player introductions and—GASP—talk about how excited we are to watch an MNUFC team.

We are so close to MPLS City soccer we can almost taste it! We talk Minnesota Super Cup and highlight six of the new players joining the club this summer.

The boys recap the Club Q&A at Utepils with Carl Craig and we meet our newest tribute to the Lower League eCup, Israel Carillo.

We're back and we've got City General Manager Matt VanBenschoten returning to the show to talk about his new role, his recent networking trip to the Netherlands and how he's juggling integrating a big managerial signing into the club while starting the process of roster building. Oh and we get some shots in at the USMNT and the Loons for good measure.

After a week that saw four Crows snatched up by professional clubs and a stellar World Cup finale, there's so much to be thankful for!

We are abdomen deep in World Cup action, so the guys have no choice but to go all in on talking about Team USA and the glorious chaos that is the Group Stage.

Here it is, our half-assed World Cup preview show, in which we throw our off-the-cuff picks against the wall to see what'll stick.

We answer some listener questions and welcome City forward Zach Susee to talk Futures, college ball and ask him to make his MN State Soccer Tourney picks.

As the club officially leaves the NPSL, the boys say goodbye and answer some questions about what the future might look like for everything from player development though to those all-important rivalries.

We round out the Official Unofficial People's Pitch Awards, covering off on the USL2 season. And with the World Cup on the horizon, you know Jon has some opinions about Team USA.

It's the 2nd of three officially unofficial award shows! This time the boys tip their hat to the players and staff that shined for the NPSL squad.

It's the time of year we get into the People's Pitch Season Awards, starting with the UPSL squad—PLUS!—the Old Grand Dad Rant is BACK.

The last week of NPSL and USL 2 action was aaalll good. We cover the final three City games and celebrate a positive conclusion to the season.

Pretty disappointing week across the organization, from the UPSL to the NPSL to the USL 2. With one week left in our seasons, can we finish the season on a high note?

The boys are feeling better after two wins in a row for the NPSL team and the UPSL team is rolling on into the national playoffs!

Two losses in Canada and a loss at home found City on the receiving end of a -9 goal differential in just one weekend. As the negative results mount, the guys get real about what's going on and how to turn it around.

Things are looking up! The NPSL team found itself back on track against Aris and the UPSL team is a sniff away from playoff soccer.

This week has had it all - a thrilling victory against our rival, a come-from behind scrappy draw, a bitter defeat, fights, red cards, puke on the turf…

While Nate questions the club's approach to squad building from game to game, Jon has a message for supporters lamenting our string of Ls - It will be OK.

Correspondent Kyle Eliason gives his recap of the 5.27 0-1 loss away at St. Croix.
