MN Futbol Show

A brief E monologue on the history made yesterday with CD Palestino breaking into Libertadores at this moment in history. Thanks for sticking with us as we reformat and work out the bugs of whatever the new thing will be with The Daves.

It's a B and E + Nubia party! We've got the gross courrpt mess in SKC (respect to supporters shutting it down), Mewes calling it and moving into MiB media, NWSL updates and the MN Aurora-Thorns pipeline established, African Cup of Nations and Asian Cup all at once, Vini Jr. already working his political side, and more.

De vuelta! CBF is a novela. 3 weeks of madness. Good thing no Copa America anytime soon. We've also got MNUFC still coachless and making supporters a little nervous (though B calms us down), big keepers coming, Gotham loading up in NWSL, Aurora tryouts wrapping, FA cup minnows punching way above their weight, the death of a Brazilian legend as player and manager, e mais.

Conmebol fiesta with Rodrigo and Eric. We've got an MLS Cup wrap with Ramirez getting his cup, Copa America discussions, Brasileirao wrap and Santos biting it, weirdness in La Liga, surprises in Champions League, and more.

Rodrigo and Bridget are driving as Eric takes to the (made snow) trails. It's still 40s in MN Dec, which is strange. Got some MNUFC roster moves, MLS Cup set with CR17 making huge impacts, EPL, USWNT, Copa America, Europa League, and more.

Back full strength and we all absolutely watched all the futbol over the last 2 weeks. Oof. We've got a short MNUFC update, lots of NWSL Cup Final talk including no party time in the NYC, and some international friendlies and WC qualification highlights as the plates of the dominant natl teams continue to shift.

B & E coming at you with a few local updates and lots of MLS and NWSL playoffs news, Libertadores and Sulamericana finals, FIFA fifa-ing all over the place, and more.

B & E music factory, everybody dance now. R recovers from the sickness. Get up, get down. Jamming in lyric references. MNUFC end the Heath legacy in a worthy fashion by crashing out and being Vermes-ed and Russell-ed once again. Cable loves coming back from the future to smash this team. Dumpsterfire.gif But, we look to the future and healing. Massive group therapy between the FO, STH, and supporters is needed. We've also got Decision Day MLS Playoffs set, international break highlights, Vilda will not go away, women's libertadores final, and more.

We take 2 weeks off and the local futebol world flips on its head. And so it happened. Anti-climatic, late, but it is done. Heath is truly out. We also talk more MNUFC and the future and still somehow playoff hopefuls, Inter Messi coming up short, this week in lots of terrible crap around the futbol world, libertadores and sudamericana both ready for their finals, mayor's cup pk shoot out drama, and more!

Vamanos! We back with Vermes and Sporks doing traditional Vermes things to Heath for the W, AtlUtd and Inter Messi-less play a wild one, the table is getting tight for MNUFC (and others) with about a month left, USMNT at Allianz, Brasileirao Feminino wraps up with a record 5th title for Corinthians as the coach heads off to coach the Selecao, Spurs getting their groove back, and more.

De vuelta! Back from WC MNFDaves coverage Bridget, Rodrigo, and Eric have MNUFC updates, MLS news, NWSL news, Libertadores and Sudamericana semifinals, and yeah, we talk all the Spanish telenovela timeline and updates too. All solidarity with Hermoso and the players as history will ultimately treat them kindly.

Fuck the patriarchy! Death to misogeny! Somewhere in here there is a sports podcast. It is the final WWC MNFDaves pod with a full house as we wrap the tournament, talk Spain and the terrible way it ended with the worst men (and an atrocious federation) still finding a way to take the focus off of amazing women and their achievements, and discuss the US and other teams further. If you have enjoyed these collabs, please consider supporting the show at patreon.com/mnfutbolshow

De volta! Dave, Nubia, Bridget, Rodrigo, and Eric are coming at with you quarter-finals action before the semis get rolling and this entire WWC ends this weekend. Spain coming out hot. Sweden not pretty, but efficient. Australia powered by thousands in the stands and millions of local energy. England, well, getting lucky really. Who's gonna win it all?!?

Packed house with MJ and Dave from the Daves with Rodrigo, Eric, and Bridget from MNFS, and a Nubia! We've got your oitavas round of 16 wrap just before quarters start. Yeah, the US blew it, but there are great narratives and amazing futebol from this round and more to come!

We back! MJ joins up the Voltron-ing along with Dave, Rodrigo, Nubia, and Eric. All wrapped up and ready for knockouts with A LOT of big names missing. BUT, new nations, players, and narratives are born showing the progress of the game worldwide. We said no damn minnows and this tournament keeps delivering. It's wide open and anyone can win this thing.

De vuelta with Dave, Rodrigo, Eric, and this time daughter subbing in for madre: it's Isa! We've got your WWC end of group round 1 to end of group round 2 highlights and drama. Right Horan? Most groups are still left with lots of doubt as to who may or may not be advancing; a representation of just how far the women's game has come. No minnows, lots of first goals and Ws to be passed around. Unless your las cafeteras, flipping many birds to your horrible federation while shining like diamonds in the sky. Next time we pod, we'll be in knockouts!

Back by, maybe somewhat popular demand, it's the MNFDAVES! Dave, Rodrigo, Eric, and the true champion, Nubia, have all your WWC updates and takes so far. The African and Afro-diasporic teams have come correct. No minnows at this WC and the "shark" big teams better not get comfortable. Also have some Leagues Cup, and Messi Messi-ing.

We've got a lot of MN Aurora FC as the chase for the USLW cup ends short once again. But this team is still fire and co-hosts emote. On the other hand, there's MNUFC that look for as many rakes to step on as possible over a consistent 7 year time period. Even as their manager is carded out up in the press box. Almost like it's systemic. Also got tributes to Rapinoe and Marta going out together, Sudamericana madness, Libertadores, and more. WWC starts in 2 weeks! We'll likely switch our focus to the cup with TDIK for the month.

B and E are in as Rodrigo coaches 10 matches at once. We've got Aurora's consistent domination and a playoff clinch with 2 matches to spare, MNUFC consistently mediocre, Mpls C futures get a trophy, Messi blowing up ticket prices, Boxall dealing with racist bs, the Club WC getting an overhaul, Brasileirao continues to move in the right direction, and more.

Full power and packed show. Like every other futbol pod, we're talking Messi to Inter Miami and MLS. Also got the classic recurring plot of former Loons smoking current Loons, MLS, Aurora continued domination, CCL Final, Champions League Final, CBF and Rio showing how easy it can be to make real change if confederations truly want i, y mas.

Full power trio! We've got Aurora putting up more goals in a match than players in MNUFC get in a season, MLS/MNUFC highlights, Europa League Mourinho-ness, U-20 WC into quarters, WCL Final, and more!

E is solo recapping a week of weeks in This Week in Racism with Vini Jr. once again. Also some Aurora, Mnufc, MLS, USOC, Libertadores, EPL Decision Day, and Justin has European takes too. Almost like all the leagues could use a point doc system for racism, huh?

Bridget and Eric coming with a short one from E's limited account. Got 2 wins in a week for MNUFC via Bongi power, some MLS and NWSL highlights, MN Aurora FC ready to kick off S2, CL final set with MC hunting more trophies, ridiculousness in EPL where you can win sitting on your bum, and more.

We sat down with the founders of TC Sol, Sol of the Cities and we talked about their amazing work in the serve to play model for developing players and what drives them to do this work in addition to talking about the upcoming Sol of the Cities futsal league this summer! Rodrigo chimes in about Mayor's Cup...but we sorta edited that out. Please visit them at https://www.tcsolfutsal.com/ follow them: @tcsolfutsal @solofthecities

B & E are back with MNUFC slipping again, Mpls CIty in action, MLS updates and the undefeated taken down, NWSL updates and 15 year old respect, Libertadores, Messi ups and downs and racism, CCL, Napoli wrapping it up this week, Liverpool being awesome, and more.

Rodrigo blew out his vocal chords in his death metal screamo band, so it's the B and E combo. We've got MNUFC advancing in USOC and a number of USL teams still kicking, some MLS, NWSL, Brasileirao, CCL, Libertadores, EPL, and a handful of good/funny news stories topped by the US State Dept. warning you not to have fun.

The crew talks about MNUFC vs Orlando, something about Gallese lower Thorax, WOSO news, International news and this awful spring weather

P-1 Visas make a few appearances in this one. We've got Mnufc dropped from the undefeated elite by Chicago. 2 remain, 1 per division. US Open Cup is rolling, USWNT WC last tunes ups, NWSL, MLS, Libertadores surprises, Europa and Nations, CCL fever, and more!

Power trio back! E left the hills of Sorrento and 65 degrees for an April fools blizzard. Great. We've got 2 undefeated MLS teams going at it, including the little expansion team that could, and somehow the Loons came out the winner. Away. AND STILL! Also, some Mpls City, tons of WOSO and NWSL, intl friendlies, Brazil making the formal 2027 WWC hosting bid, a Mexican ref that had enough BASTA, and more!

Bridget and Rodrigo, talk to Corey Schreppel about Loons, MLS, LIverpool, Seeing a Champions League Match, Barcelona vs Madrid and other nonsense

Bridget and Rodrigo talk about MNUFC and other soccer news, also they say Legion O' Floons a lot.

We back. Full power before E takes off to find the perfect Chianti. We've got a Snowpener again as MNUFC have their 2023 home opener in the wet sloppy snow. Orange ball and bodies sliding everywhere. We've also got MLS wrap, a bunch of WOSO and NWSL, Champions League, EPL, and more.

Back with a Loons bye and Joao Klaussing all over the place once again as St. Louis put on an epic show and first ever MLS home match and win. The so-called "expansion team" is 2-0. Got some other MLS highlights, a MN Supercup is coming, some NWSL news, Klinsmann to Korea just for MJ, the French women rocking solidarity and getting wins as the coach and upper management flee, FIFA giving Messi more door stops, Recopa going to Ecuador, and more.

Communication and weather issues, but Rodrigo and Bridget drive the bus (E gets in late) talking Loons opening win, MLS kickoff opening results, MN Aurora FC and Mpls C dropping schedules with some teams overlapping, some She Believes Cup wrapping up in the hands of the US (again), Champions league, Europa league, and more!

Packed show! We welcome the Phoenix rising from the ashes of SB Nation burning it down: Northland Soccer. We've also got lots of kit talk between Mpls C, MLS, MNUFC, and Seattle flying side kicking it out the park. Outstanding work. She Believes Cup is rolling, NWSL news, Rodrigo has amnesia of Newcastle keepers doing things 5 year olds do, CL updates, and more. Justin's Corner is back and he eloquently and painfully covers the tragic earthquake in Turkey, Syria, and revolutionarily Kurdistan in between and its impact on football. If you appreciate all of this content, please considers throwing some dinero at: patreon.com/mnfutbolshow You can also support Bridget and her crew of independent soccer journos at: patreon.com/norhtlandsoccer, northlandsoccer.com

We back. Reynoso is out...for now. Rodrigo warned about this at least 20 times. Also got NWSL, Canadian players up for the fight, WI prodigal footy son unemployed, MC under fire sort of, Club WC lifted by RM, the CBF pres making more badass moves, and more.

We're back with a women's futbol heavy show talking NWSL, upcoming She Believes Cup, and WWC Austrailia/NZ this summer already breaking records. There's also some Club WC with MLS' first ever Concacaf representation in...and out, and more.

Os 3 estao de volta. Carl Craig is back to elbow you in the pit and coach The Crows! There's some MNUFC pre-season, more drama at US Soccer, some NWSL news (thanks Nubia), got Bra Super Copa, the potential #abolishconcacaf FINALLY and birth of CONMECAF, only women and kids/youth AGAIN in supporters sections in Parana state (may it spread), and more.

Why would any man think they could get away with hurting one of the biggest and most loved pop stars ON THE PLANET?!? We save it for the end, but spend a good chunk of the brutal genius of Shakira's distrack of Pique...who is already dead. He just doesn't know it yet. Also some, MLS, Bra estaduais, Juve and Dani Alves being terrible, EPL, and more.

The crew bring in Korean chuggu specialist MJ (Anon) to talk about the rumors of 2 recent members of the Korean WC team potentially becoming loons...and K-Pop being blasted across St. Paul from Allianz with choreographed dancing breaking out at the capital. We also have MLS and NWSL updates, Brazilian Antifa ultras leading post-J8 mobilizations, some EPL, some El Classico for Saudi propaganda, and more.

Feliz ano nuevo! Back after a break from holidays and MN Futbol Daves World Cup-ing. Thanks for all your listening and support. We've got some Mpls City, MNUFC, and Aurora, but the most time is spent on US Soccer going full Conmebol telenovela. What a mess. We also say tchau para o REI, salute Ryan Reynold's Wrexham, and more.

The final Minnesota Futbol Daves World Cup show discusses the greatest sporting event of our lifetime. Argentina finally breaks their drought and Messi cements his status as the greatest player of all-time. France turned a drab affair into an exciting match, plus we marvel at Emi Martinez's gigantic brass balls! We also discuss our most memorable moments from the tournament, best goals, amongst other things. Buckle up because this is a long one, and we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programs (probably after the New Year). Thanks for joining us on this very long, very rewarding journey!

The penultimate Minnesota Futbol Daves World Cup show talks about Men's World Cup Semifinal matches! Have the two best teams in the tournament finally figured out how to play defense? Is Messi going to get his Hollywood ending? Does Dave have a half-cocked theory about Messi, Maradona, and Argentina? Maybe, hopefully, most certainly!

The Minnesota Futbol Daves are back to recap the craziness of the Quarterfinal round. This round had everything! Shithoussery, Look-at-me refs, Messi showing up another legend, penalties, another British meltdown, oh yeah, and Morocco now controls the Iberian peninsula and now has their sights set on France and the Gauls! Plus we have a short interview with Podiumwear to talk shop on how they produce kits. Our World Cup podcasts are sponsored by Podiumwear.

The Minnesota Futbol Daves are back to recap the Round of 16. We spend far too much time discussing the US running out of steam against the Netherlands, trying to figure out how Messi continues to score the goals that he does, dancing with Brazil, and bemoaning the damp squib that was Japan taking penalties. We also wonder how anyone stops Mbappe, can Morocco keep this shit up, and laugh just a bit at BRonaldo being left on the bench for the Swiss spanking.

The Minnesota Futbol Daves are back to recap the entirety of Groups ROund 3. That was 4 days of pure chaos and we touch on almost all of it, including the crazy matchday that was CRC-GER & JAP-ESP, Mexico's furious and ultimately fruitless comeback, and the 9 minutes of butt-clenching from the USA-IRN match.

The Minnesota Futbol Daves are back to recap the entirety of Matchday 2. We recap the slap fight of England-USA, the knife fight between Argentina-Mexico, and whatever the hell happened Monday morning between Cameroon-Serbia & Korea-Ghana. We also discussed some vexillology bants, things only Leo Messi can do, and is Morocco for real? E hoped to try to cut it down time wise...and failed. We also discussed as much of the political tension that the USSF inadvertently created, a protestor on the field, and some racist Croatian fans.

The Minnesota Futbol Daves are back to recap the entirety of Groups Round 1.
