Welcome dear readers to this year’s annual MLS Training Top Rankings where we debate and critique the league wide training kits. Fashion is an important part of the sport and because MLS teams only introduce one new kit person due to the lazy hard working folks at Adidas they make up for it by releasing…
Morning: Arrival and BreakfastI arrived in Vancouver on a flight from Montreal in the morning and rented a car. After arriving, I parked in a nondescript garage downtown. I needed coffee so I went the Prototype Coffee for breakfast. I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese and a cup of coffee. Mid-Morning: A Walk…
For the first time in a very long time, I am without a job. After being fired by Austin FC I’ve decided to take advantage and do something for me. I will be traveling to various MLS playoff games and providing insight into the cities and the matches. I only agreed to this because The…
EXT: view of a suburban house. INT: We see the kitchen and dining room table separated by a countertop. A staircase to the second story of the house is in the background.

It’s been a while since we’ve convened here. Sometimes life happens. Sometimes you just feel no motivation to write. And sometimes Josh Wolff kills your soccer loving soul.

Gentle reader, we are in a bad state. I’m not just talking about getting arrested for saying hot isn’t a spice. No, we are in a bad state because we are not a good team. Losing again at home is rough. This season has worn me out to the point of funk. Not the cool…
Needless to say, it’s been a week at The Compound and due to time constraint, I’m going to get right to it. It all started last weekend when a few of us visited Nashville for the Austin FC match at beautiful GEODIS Park. It was a lovely weekend with great weather, but unfortunately, Louis was…
We don’t normally get to do this due to the lack of Giveaways during Austin FC road matches plus our general malaise at attending thanks to Austin’s 3-7-3 record on the road this season. But this weekend? We were delighted to find out that Nashville SC would have a giveaway and had to ensure we…
There are very few things in life better than getting something for free. It’s why the human race has engineered ways to fire hot dogs, t-shirts, and tacos out of a compressed air cannon. We here at The False Nine, in our attempt to cover all aspects of Austin FC fandom, have come up with…
