Actually (pushing up glasses), since you played extra time, unlike the first round best of 3, when you win PKs, you do win this game.

What a game, geez … really happy for Vancouver and their fans to get those amazing memories. And I really like watching LAFC lose, and to lose it this way, chef’s kiss.

Former Minnesota United forward Tani Oluwaseyi scored the winning goal for Villareal in their 2-1 victory over Mallorca today. #OnceALoon

Happy Saturday morning! Finish your Wordle, grab a cup of coffee, and get HYPE for the Loons’ playoff game by reading Mark’s words on #MNUFC v San Diego … only 62 hours until kickoff! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Let’s get the playoff excitement train moving with a Friday piece from Charles on #MNUFC coach Eric Ramsay … only 76 hours until kickoff! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

👀 Dropping the schedule this week to remind us that MLS still exists. #MNUFC schedule highlights: 🗓️ Preview of sorts for new schedule (2/27 first home game, 11/7 last home game - Decision Day!) 😒 4 Wednesday home games (pretty typical) 🌞 5 “early” home starts 🍑 Atlanta’s first trip to Allianz!

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today we honor and reflect on the lives lost to anti-trans violence. Let today, and every day, be a day when our trans family, friends, and neighbors live their lives free from hate and harm!

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance and as we do every year we swap our colours to those of the trans flag in honour of those who we’ve lost. Let’s all make sure to do everything we can to promote love & support of our trans friends and make sure they do not become another statistic.

Do Loons Fly? Idk, but here's the Minnesota United Preview for Monday Night

If you want the full Wes experience of ranting and going on tangents, here it is. Blessings upon them for trying to reign me in.

Our interview with Anthony Markanich where he admits that the first big purchase he’ll make with his new #MNUFC contract will be for his two pups …

And he scores in his final appearance for Finland 🥹

"85: Time to Trip About the Calendar Flip?" is live! @wesburdine.bsky.social joined us this week, we covered: Game 3 Recap (again), @mnaurorafc.bsky.social, the Midway neighborhood, United Village, @blackhartstp.com, the Schedule Flip, Apple TV, #MNUFC prep for San Diego, and the end of the penny.

Breakdown: The upcoming #MLS calendar change, transition process, and it's impact on Next Pro, #USOC, and more

It’s Clutch, Maple and Zayu!

Teemu Pukki is retiring from international football. He played his 2nd-to-last game for Finland in Helsinki today. One more match on Tuesday in Tampere, Finland alongside Robin. #MNUFC

I'm starting to think that we've entered the "Weekly isn't a frequent enough podcast cadence" phase of MLS, geez. Newsy week! #MNUFC

There's no such thing as too much Loons content after last Saturday night, love this write-up from Mark ... #MNUFC 👇👇👇

Talked to Dayne St. Clair about being MLS goalie of the year, playing for Jesse Marsch, and why Minnesota United might just do the thing this season www.goal.com/en-us/lists/...

“The Loons’ victory over Seattle … last Saturday was arguably the greatest game in club history. And perhaps the final time … Robin Lod wears black and blue in St. Paul.” 😬 Offer the man two years and a 30% pay cut … maybe he accepts … #MNUFC 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

It’s the “we deserve nice things” episode where we spend almost the entire episode re-living the craziest #MNUFC game with the most joyous ending we’ve ever experienced.

This would be a huge change with varying impacts to teams depending on where they play. There are positives for #MNUFC but gameday experience is not one of them. Interested to learn what the facility/stadium "changes" MLS is imagining for northern markets.

Read what Wes writes this week … listen to what he has to say next week when he joins The Loony Bin for our next episode … #MNUFC

MLS, in its infinite wisdom, decided that the Monday before Thanksgiving was the ideal time to make us fly 3000 miles to support #MNUFC. Super. We're working arrangements, but wondered how many folks are really interested in going. Let @loonstravel.bsky.social know: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

"84: Loons Drown the Sounders in Cathartic Fashion" is live! We have never been more excited to sit down, hit record and talk about a soccer game. We recap a truly unbelievable night for #MNUFC at Allianz that culminated in a moment Loons' fans have never been able to experience ... until now.

New rule: If you don’t have a stadium where you can host a Conference Semifinal on the weekend, you lose your hosting privileges. #MNUFC

W. T. F.

Drinking this “Loons Win!” coffee until the pot is empty. We’ll get our episode out late tonight, regular time, despite my please to @mnloonlet.bsky.social for a “Instant Reaction” episode … #MNUFC

Love these so much! If I had a camera trained on me during this game … 🫣 #MNUFC

Hey @jonharrison90.bsky.social! Got any of those radio call videos to post to fill our timelines? Hopefully, you didn’t hurt your arm again in celebration last night.

MN-Prophecy Rating: Everyone who played in that game gets a free lawnmower, courtesy of Toro.

MN-Prophecy Rating: 33.3% correct with 33.3% still on the table …

MN-Prophecy Rating: Loons’ defiance inspires a generation as the Sounders season is OVER!

MN-Prophecy Rating: Latin is for lovers, and I love beating Seattle.

MN-Prophecy Rating: Wither your way back west you shrinking sounders.

MN-Prophecy Rating: The first two goals ain’t nothing for our boys in black and blue (this time)

MN-Prophecy Rating: Who’s the best at playoff winning without winning? We are!

MN-Prophecy Rating: Ummm, yea you did and yea it did!

MN-Prophecy Rating:

MN-Prophecy Rating: Someone bring The Harlequin to Vegas, they’re getting really pretty good at this predicting stuff.

MN-Prophecy Rating: Who can feel the cold when we’re warmed by the death of Sounders’ fans’ hopes and dreams?

MN-Prophecy Rating: Be bold MOlson, for the fortune will favor you, if so

MN-Prophecy Rating: F ChatGPT and F Seattle. If ChatGPT is so smart, it would’ve given a recommended formation for playing with 10 men …

MN-Prophecy Rating: Brandon is back from his time traveling to give us even more good news!

Rewatching the game and knowing that we end with the PK win is way more comforting ... and honestly, just lovely. #MNUFC

I’m not built for these feeling … #MNUFC

It’s time for do-or-die Game 3 predictions! Who will score, who will win and who will get frost bite? Let’s hear your MN-Prophecy for this afternoon’s game! #MNUFC

At least it’s not 2025 Wooden Spittoon Winner Alexis da Silva again. #MNUFC

Blackouts are not as effective for day games … thanks for coming to my TedTalk.
