Data Center Soccer

by Ryan Keefer

Season 1

You've got to commit to the bit, Skeletor

Wow, a Loudoun win? Go figure! Anyway, a look back at Loudoun’s shutout win over Indy in segment one. In segment two, I talk to Richie Aman about his last few weeks as a college player and winning the College Cup with Washington (spoiler: it was a LOT of travel), before getting drafted by D.C. United and loaned to Loudoun. He also covers the *MANY CONFLICTING FEELINGS he has around Loudoun’s friendly with D.C.

An extension of kayfabe

In this week’s episode, I look back at Loudoun’s draw with Tampa Bay, which wasn’t bad, and perhaps clarified things for Alen Marcina as we get closer to the end of the season than the beginning. Plus, Pedro Santos chats about going from Columbus to Loudoun, coaching his oldest son in youth soccer in the area, and what the future may or may not bring. Thank you again for allowing me to occupy your time and podcast queues.

DMV Derby Daze

Hello, I would have had this out sooner, but I’m learning about channels and track volume in Garageband which output a blank, but recorded, version of this earlier. Loudoun’s loss to Pittsburgh (and their first choice lineup in July finally) is talked about for a second, but I also cover Loudoun United’s relationship with and to D.C. United in various forms. It’s a little stream of consciousness but I hope you get the general jist. Thank you again for listening, and please like, share and subscribe, and generally tell your friends.

Thor Ulfarsson's path and return to pro soccer

There’s the usual look back at the game, but my chat with Thor Ulfarsson is a fascinating one; were it not for Alen Marcina continuing to rate and track him, I think he might have been out of pro soccer; he talks about the injuries and setbacks he’s had, his thoughts on the team’s play, and where the attack stands. Apologies for the muted audio early on, the power of Zoom helped me to course correct before the good stuff, I think. As always, if you like this, please share, signal boost, pump tires, and tell a friend. Thanks for listening, and thanks for subscribing!

Telling jokes to Michael Stipe

Not exactly a pleasant night! Well, Ryan looks at Loudoun’s 4-1 loss to Charleston, and while it’s not SO bad, Loudoun’s first two weeks after they get back from their break will show whatever kind of future they have (with respect).

Benjamin Button watches the World Cup at the house

This week, we look back at Loudoun’s 4-1 loss to Rhode Island and some takeaways good and bad. Then, Loudoun defender Jacob Erlandson joins me. Among the topics: How he got to this point in his career About his injury and rehab Balancing Union duties during CBA negotiations while returning How the organizer has been trying to find the rhythm of his new backline The varied hairstyle game and meaning. We went for a while and could have gone on more if life didn’t get in the way, but I hope and plan to do a part 2 of some sort. If you liked this, please spread the word! I did this on video as well, so if that is more your jam, please let me know, and I can post those also; that may be a paid subber perk of some sort. Also, feel free to let me know who (and what) you’d like to hear so I can start getting more folks lined up; Loudoun has a midweek next week and then is off until July 3 for the USL Show Testimonial game with Sporting Jax, so players may be hard to reach, but that doesn’t mean I plan to stop the guest train if I can help it.

"I'm onto you, Arthur Tobin!"

Two games and learning a platform leave not much room for other activities, but you get a sense of what the format (for now) of this will be. Also, Drew Skundrich and I chat about life now as a coach.

Coming Soon : Data Center Soccer

In which I try to answer the following: Who are you? What is this? Why is it called this? What do you want it to be? What do you want out of it? Hopefully, I'll be able to do so over time.
