2021-10-28T09:56:03-04:00

Curse you Michael Bradley (and the refs too)

Trying something a little different, we recorded right after the end of the Philadelphia Union at Toronto FC game so our takes and emotions are fresh and ready to be shared. We discuss the rollercoaster ride of a night after sharing some thoughts on the big Nashville SC win that got us up to second place (at the time). Further discussion is had on Kacper, Martinez, and the Christmas tree formation. Enjoy!

Doopy Brothers Podcast: A Win That Would Make Ted Lasso Proud

2021-10-07T09:56:08-04:00

Yes we talked about Ted Lasso AND the Union.

After the Philadelphia Union’s draw in Jersey and the win at home against Columbus, we are back to break down both games and what stood out to us. The New York Red Bulls tie was disappointing but the boys made up for it by smacking around a mediocre Columbus Crew team. In the second half, we have some USMNT talk, discuss Chris Albright’s departure, and play some games involving FIFA rankings and Ted Lasso. Enjoy!

Seriously, how did we get to 100 episodes?

We actually can’t believe we have made it to 100 episodes, yet here we are. To start, we reflect a bit on how we got to 100 and share a big giveaway we are doing in hand with it. We then get into the previous two games and gauge some of our takes with Twitter responses we got. In the second half, we have some typically goofy segments and talk about the upcoming Philadelphia Union game at DC United. Plus we go through a rundown of all of our guests that we were so thankful to have gotten to talk to. Enjoy!

We hardly knew ya.

In this episode we discuss the past two Philadelphia Union games that occurred since last recording. The Nashville game gave us little to go over in the 1-0 loss but the New York Red Bulls 1-1 tie gave plenty of points to discuss, from Matt Freese to potentially a new Ilsinho? In the second half, we go over some off the field moves in Tanner’s contract extension and Oravec’s moving back to Slovakia. Plus we share what we did over the weekend and preview the DC game. Enjoy!
