We review the Decision Day win that was NOT enough to get the Loons into the playoffs. We submit our MLS end of year awards because the league thinks we’re actually media.

We look back at two, 3-1 wins that give MN United an outside shot of making the playoffs. We get you ready for Decision Day because 2026 isn’t over just yet.

We review another good Loons performance that, again, did not end with three points. We get ready for two of the last three games of the 2026 season as the Loons’ playoff hopes are truly on life support. And we’ll congratulate St. Louis City fans who are celebrating their first trophy in just 4 seasons in the league.   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: [email protected] Email Dan: [email protected] Email Matt: [email protected]  Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast

We discuss another late lead lost that stopped a losing streak but still feels like crap. We get ready for two more games this week as the Loons playoff hopes are on life support. And we check in on Dayne St. Clair, who had a few things to say after Canada lost to the US last Tuesday.   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: [email protected] Email Dan: [email protected] Email Matt: [email protected]  Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast

We are joined by Jon Marthaler because misery loves company and the Loons have been miserable lately. We discuss the loss in Seattle that runs the losing streak to five. And we check in on English football to see if they might be able to drink again at games anytime soon.   Support Jon at jonmarthaler.com!   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: [email protected] Email Dan: [email protected] Email Matt: [email protected]  Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast

We again talk about another Wonderwall-less night at Allianz. We look ahead to the upcoming game against Schmetzer’s Sounders.

We cover the last two games that didn’t go the Loons way. We recap our first experience in the press box and radio booth at Allianz Field.

We close the book on the uninspiring Summer Transfer window with the help of Andy Greder from the Pioneer Press. We catch our breath after watching the MLS After Dark match in Portland where the Loons scored 4, but left with nothing. And we look ahead to two upcoming games including a midweek match in the hotly contested I35 Shield/Cup.   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: [email protected] Email Dan: [email protected] Email Matt: [email protected]  Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast
