"105: Loons Fly Artemis II to Galaxy I" is live!
We talk all about the 2nd ever win for #MNUFC in Carson that ended late into the night and we get you ready for ANOTHER late night away game in California. Then we review the Allianz Summer Concert Series that will find you buried under the covers.
This is the first game this season where our top 3 passers were all midfielders, and not dominated by our CBs. One thing I noticed was them dropping into the first line, between the CBs and wingbacks, to collect.
Pereyra always did this, and now it feels like they all are doing it more...

As seen elsewhere on socials, #LAGalaxy fans at their game vs #MNUFC last night with another show of solidarity via tifo: "you have friends in this galaxy", with the sign of the Rebel Alliance, a nod to the Loons' supporters display of the Rebel Loon and Andor-insipired "we have friends everywhere"
Duggan did get beat (by a great pass & even better touch), but I just can't comprehend this defensive mentality by Markanich...

"Maybe we are a little bit too eager to get the ball into the box ... and not settling into possession." - Knowles
#MNUFC
Pressing distances can be worse in a back 5, so pushing Markanich & Duncan higher into the midfield line with Gene & Triantis helped shorten those distances. I really like the aggressive decision made by Knowles.
#MNUFC
Midfield played well. Yeboah scored. We got 3. #mnufc

Every fucking game with #mnufc I’m like SPEND MORE MONEY, and when they win, I’m like see, you can still have a team that doesn’t spend money.
I still think they should spend more money.

Quick Recap: Two second half goals put #MNUFC over the top in LA to get first away win of 2026 in shock victory over #LAGalaxy
Advantage: Argentines.
#MNUFC pair of attacking midfielders — Joaquín Pereyra and Tomas Chancalay — unlocked #LAGalaxy defense with an assist apiece in a 2-1 road win. #Loons badly needed the offense after two scoreless games.
Recap:

Loons have risen … 3 pts up the standings. Thanks to the ref for wasting 45 seconds to hand out 2 yellows for no reason. You see why Pereyra wore the arm band. Duggan was very good. Count Chancalay was much more impactful. After a depressing end to the transfer window, some needed good news. #MNUFC
Too many Players of the Match tonight for me: Captain Pereyra, Chancalay, Markanich, Gene, Duggan, Duncan. What a performance tonight boys!! #mnufc #coyl 🩵🖤
Best win of 2026. Deserved, too. #MNUFC
• Good stints across the lineup.
• Where’s Fitz?
• Vanney will be a great USL coach.
Winner! Winner!
Chicken Dinner!
#MNUFC
To think about the injuries and illness that hit the team, to dig in and get a win…great team win! Hats off especially to Chancalay & Duggan. Time for a beer! 🍺😎
FT #MNUFC win!

MLS and #MNUFC expect me to go to sleep at almost 1 am in the morning (east coast) after that ending of a game. Yeah, that's not happening...
