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.

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.
