A podcast dedicated to expanding the fan base of Minnesota United FC
It was a solid road win for the Loons against Austin, aided by one of the worst goalie blunders you will ever see. We have two game previews as the Loons head to Kentucky for a US Open Cup match and then come home to face some team called Inter Miami. And we wonder if anyone found Matt during the Loonlet scavenger hunt.

It's a wake up call for our Loons in their 1-3 loss to Vancouver's B team.

It's a scoreless draw for Dayne and Tani in their hometown of Toronto as the Loons go 7 games unbeaten. With a home game coming up against middling FC Dallas, we look for the guys to get back in the win column.

The Loons head to San Jose to take on a new look team coached by Bruce Arena that already has two wins to their name. And what is up with that chant and tifo in San Diego?

The Loons' season came to an end at the hands of the L.A. Galaxy (and the referee - not bitter) in a game that ended 6-2 souring an otherwise successful 2024 campaign to build upon. We take a close look at this game and prepare for an offseason that will hopefully bring new additions to take this team to the next level.

It's two more draws against Real Salt Lake making it six draws in a row against those Salty Banana Chips (credit: The Loony Bin Junior). But this time, in the MLS Cup Playoffs, both games go to penalty kicks and the Loons advance to the Western Conference Semifinal against the LA Galaxy. Their victories come on the back of Dayne St. Claire's PK saves (and RSL's misses) and a team of shooters who make 8 out of 10 shots. Now we wait three weeks for the Loon's next playoff game.

They're now up to 405 minutes without conceding a goal, a team record, and have leap-frogged Vancouver for the 7th seed in the playoffs. With a two week break (for those not playing internationally), the team now gets ready for Decision Day at home against St. Louis where they could end the season anywhere from 5th to 8th place. ------------------ Connect with us on twitter (@loonybindpodcast), email us at theloonybinpod@gmail.com or find us at www.theloonybinpod.com.

After a disappointing home loss to a formidable FC Cincinnati team, the Loons went to Sporting Kansas City and took home their first ever points during the MLS regular season. Aided by a weather delay, the crossbar and an upcoming Open Cup final for SKC, the Loons did what they had to do and held onto the last play-in playoff spot for now.
