113: Checking In With Ourselves

We discuss what natural New Zealand materials should be used for the Michael Boxall statue, we get you caught up on what’s happening, or not happening, with a former Loon at the World Cup, and we’ll check in on FIFA as they again try to ruin the greatest sporting event in the world with yet another money grab.    BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com [theloonybinpod@gmail.com] Email Dan: dan@theloonybinpod.com Email Matt: matt@theloonybinpod.com  Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast

112: Late Draw Soothes Slump into Summer Break

We recap the RSL home draw that the boys left until late that only slightly smoothed over the Loons’ recent slump. We look ahead to the World Cup break and make a Minnesota United positional wish list for this summer transfer window. And we’ll check in on a new rule MLS is supporting that would change the way the soccer clock works.   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com [theloonybinpod@gmail.com] Email Dan: dan@theloonybinpod.com Email Matt: matt@theloonybinpod.com  Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast

111: Aggressively Regressing to the Mean

We spend some time discussing not one, but two, disappointing results from our Loons this week. We look ahead to the Loons match against RSL that will be the last chance to get a result before the summer break. And we’ll check in on our future rivals as they’ve announced the name of their soon-to-be-built stadium.   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com [theloonybinpod@gmail.com] Email Dan: dan@theloonybinpod.com Email Matt: matt@theloonybinpod.com  Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast

110: James Hoopla, We Hardly Knew Ya

We look back on that I-35 Shield draw against Austin FC that saw the first meaningful contributions from our, soon to be former, Colombian #10. We look ahead to a home game against Colorado and an away gate against the surging Revolution as the schedule tightens up again. And we’ll check in on Tommy Schweinitz to see what he’s been up to since he scored his goal against the Rapids last August.   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com [theloonybinpod@gmail.com] Email Dan: dan@theloonybinpod.com Email Matt: matt@theloonybinpod.com  Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast

109: The Return of the Set Piece FC (feat. Andy Greder)

We check in with Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press to see what he thinks of our Loons at the one third mark of the season. We review that rollercoaster of a game in San Jose that saw our Loons exit the Open Cup. We recap that historic second half comeback that helped United do the double over the State of Ohio. And we get you ready for a Mother’s Day game against I-35 Shield Opponent, Austin FC.    BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com [theloonybinpod@gmail.com] Email Dan: dan@theloonybinpod.com Email Matt: matt@theloonybinpod.com  Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast
