FiftyFive.One Podcast

Justin Davis started playing for NSC Minnesota Stars in 2011 and went on to play 7 seasons in Minnesota before moving to Nashville SC. Wes catches up with the Minnesota stalwart to talk about those years in Minnesota as well as being part of a start-up team that is working toward MLS.

Adam from the Scuffed Podcast joins Wes to look at the USMNT January Camp. They look at the up-and-coming kids for the US youth and talk about the upcoming U20 World Cup in May.

The gang is back to finish off 2018. Eric, Alex, Rodrigo, and Wes talk about MNUFC's off-season so far. Jan Gregus is in and, well, that's about it as far as we know, but they talk about rumors and needs for the off-season. Then they attempt to make bold predictions about 2019, but instead come up with some tepid as hell predictions.

Wes is joined by Forward Madison's Managing Director, Peter Wilt, who was previously GM of the Minnesota Thunder, Chicago Fire, Chicago Red Stars, and Indy 11.

The pod is back with Wes, Alex, and Rodrigo eulogizing the departed players from MNUFC. They also talk about the Gregg Berhalter US Men's National Team Hiring as well as the Copa Libertadores debacle.

Wes is joined by Bruce McGuire and Jeff Rueter for a special live podcast recorded at the Black Hart of Saint Paul. The three look back at 2018 and render their genius judgments and then look forward and make brilliant prognostications.

The season is over, but the playoffs have begun! Alex, Eric, and Wes talk about who they fancy in the upcoming MLS playoffs. Then they briefly talk about the Columbus debacle. The bulk of the pod is spent on this question to listeners: who would you target for MNUFC in the offseason? Then it's deciding the most overrated cities in the US and best bars in the Twin Cities.

Zlatan came and Zlataned.

Wes, Alex, and Rodrigo discuss the final home match of the season in the 3-1 loss to LA Galaxy. They preview some off-season discussion topics and the final match of the season against Columbus. Speaking of which, you should watch that game at the Black Hart.

Rodrigo and Wes on the podcast this week.

They talk about USWNT v Canada coming up on Wednesday.

USMNT v Peru which happened just before recording.

MNUFC v Colorado which happened, but we would like to forget about it.

Then lots of Twitter questions.

Chris Wright gave Minnesota United technical staff before they led the Loons to a 5-1 drubbing in Philadelphia. Alex returns to the podcast to give a report of fans singing "Three Year Plan" to Wright in Philadelphia.

But hey, the US Women are going to qualify for the World Cup and the Men are back in action.
