Doopy Brothers Podcast

We are back to not only catch up with each other but also to catch up on what has been a bumpy start to the season for the Union. AJ gives his takes on the Austin draw and we both give our takes on being out of CCC. We got to attend an awesome event at Starfinder together so we share all about that as well as Cavan Sullivan to Man City, new US jerseys, and how the international window will make for an interesting lineup for the upcoming Portland game. Enjoy!

We are excited to have the MLS season around the corner even though we may not be thrilled with were the Union are after a quiet offseason following a season that felt like a step back. Nonetheless, we preview the season and give our takes on the roster and positions where some flexibility could be in the starting 11. Of course, we discuss the new jerseys and do our now annual golden boot draft. Enjoy!

It's finally time to wrap up the too long 2023 MLS season so we give our final takes on the Union's season and give some positional grades. We each share what's on our wishlist for the offseason and give some thoughts on the Apple aspect and influence on the past season. Enjoy!

The Union are currently in one of the multiple long breaks between playoff games so we decided to do a pod to pass some time. We discuss the Revs series, thoughts on Cincy, and a whole lot of random topics with loose thanksgiving themes. Enjoy!

We made the trip out to Columbus to take in the Crew game with Doopy Dad in tow. We share our experiences on the trip as well as the game. In the second half, we go over the current playoff positions and where our confidence lands in each position of the team before we do a quick stats game and give our prediction on Atlanta.

Now that the Leagues Cup is over, we discuss the Union's semifinals run, the Miami game experience, and what takeaways we had from the tournament as a whole. We also discuss the rest of the season's outlook, potential playoff races, and how Messi will impact it all. AJ shares a bonkers conspiracy theory before we give a quick preview of the DC game. Enjoy!

With the addition of honorary Doopy Brother, Zach, we discuss a handful of topics this episode. We recap the recent NYCFC game and talk about transfers in and out of the club in the first half of the episode. In the second half, we get into Messi/Miami, All Star game and how we'd make it better, and some USWNT World Cup talk.

We finally back in the recording “studio” to discuss the recent Union form. Being that we are at the halfway point of the season, we evaluate use of the 3-back system that Curtin has been using of late, the possibilities of summer transfers, and the reliance on the Union’s attacking trio. In the second half we get into the Messi to MLS news and share some ideas on what his impact on the league will be.

Well that wasn't the delicious revenge that we were hoping for, the Union bowed out of CCL after falling to LAFC 4-1 on aggregate. We discuss the game and take stock in where the Union are as a team as their focus shifts back to MLS league play. We talk about the "depth", Curtin's performance, and the 43th most valuable team in the world.

In this episode, we recap the recent set of games in which the Union had a mixed bag of results but still advancing in CCL and still struggling in MLS. We discuss how we still think CCL takes priority and the current league form is relatively fine. In the second half, we give the baby snakes some props, AJ gives Luke a new game and we share our takes on the Parlay kits. Enjoy!
