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

108: The Streak Extends But Then It Ends

We recap a solid away win at Dallas that has the Loons atop the I-35 Shield Standings. We review that home loss to LAFC that saw the winning streak come to an end. And we’ll get ready for another late night midweek game in the Open Cup that looks like a tough matchup for our Loons on paper. We also preview the Columbus game too, so much soccer.    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

107: Winning Streaks Are Allowed? (feat. Wes Burdine)

We recap that late night Open Cup match in Sacramento that saw Minnesota United barely advance. We review that Portland home game that should lead to Phil Neville losing his job. And we catch up with Wes Burdine on a series of topics including his thoughts on a recent breakup.   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
