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…
Gateway to a Prediction
Gentle reader, what a marvelous match our El FC had vs. San Diego! And, if you care to remember, we had several predictions in my last post. You will notice that, while everyone at the Compound saw a victory, I am the only one who nailed it. Monday morning, flushed with success, I left my…

Power Rankings After Week 5
So yeah, I know we missed the rankings last week, since we were too busy with other stuff. Turns out tracking the international break and following MLS combined with our personal travel just means we fell behind here. However, our voters were rocking and rolling this week, so we were able to get out our…
Group Love
Gentle reader, our dear El FC did well in their last match. However, I must confess, I did not extend the love that they deserved. Now, our boys in green take on Eddie Vedder’s adopted hometown. In an attempt to not embarrass myself again, I asked those at the Compound what they thought would happen…
Here We Go Again
Gentle reader, another disappointing week. Our El FC lost a winnable game and I wasn’t able to correctly read my new bat’s movements. I feel like I’m in a Yogi Berra cycle where it’s déjà vu all over again. Or, in the (slightly emended) words of the magisterial David Coverdale, here we go again. So,…
Week 3 MLS Power Rankings
Well this past week’s MLS play was only mildly absurd by league standards. We didn’t have Miami beating Charlotte with only 10 men for a half and no Messi or Chicago scoring 3 goals after the 80th minute (and saving a PK in that stretch) to win the Brimstone Cup up in Frisco, but it…

Gettin’ Batty With It
Gentle reader, it’s been a challenging time. Firstly, as you all well know, my beloved hens departed this corporeal existence. Thanks to Chucky for filling in for me last week as I took some time to grieve. You know, in order to help others, you must help yourself first. As we all know, our beloved…
