Unfortunately, we were right in predicting a loss. It brings us no joy when these types of prophesies come to fruition. It was not a good night for our boys. Pretty craptastic, if we’re being honest. Like we said, without our most handsome boy providing the juju, we’re not so competitive. We accept our powers,…
Raise your hand if you expected Austin FC to be in a dogfight for 2nd place after beating LAFC last month. Yeah, that’s what I thought. Austin’s large gap on 3rd place has shrunk faster than George Costanza coming out of a swimming pool. The Verde & Black’s recent skid has allowed Frisco back into…
Well despite being our compound’s resident traveler, I should have known better than to fly out to Seattle to assume that we could get a result in Cascadia. Hopefully, we can get a win in Vancouver in a few weeks because I would really like to get the road win in Cascadia monkey off our…
This is getting ridiculous. Against our better judgement, we optimistically went for a tie. Should’ve not succumbed to the siren song of feeling good about ourselves and life. El FC certainly weren’t feeling it vs. Nashville. In fact, we laid the proverbial egg. It’s moments like that that make me pine for my dear, dead…
So. Many. Games. Saturday will mark a nearly full slate of MLS action, with the lone exception being a Friday night match north of the border. The playoff picture is starting to become a bit clearer and Austin FC controls it’s own destiny for 2nd place, but a little help never hurt anyone. Plus we’ve…
So, I have to be honest with you fine folks. I was doing fun Labor Day Weekend things and didn’t really pay close attention to Austin FC’s game at Nashville. But scrolling Twitter the next day, it seems that the Verde fan-base is in this mode: To which I would like to say, once again,…
Well once again, our boys in Verde did not get the job done and failed to clinch a playoff berth by losing 3-0 in Nashville. Coming off a late loss against Portland on Wednesday, my expectations were not high for this match, and we met them with a sloppy loss, as we were clearly exhausted…
What are we supposed to do? We look statistically at matchups, performances, et cetera, et cetera, and we get sad trombone music. We decide to just vibe and we get burned. Excepting Turd, the compound is filled with optimists. He’s a bit of a “Why even have a glass? It’s just gonna get broken or…
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of The False 9’s La Murga Report, click here. This past Wednesday, we had a first for Austin FC: a home match suffered a weather delay. Somewhere around 100 minutes after the match was supposed to kick off, it finally did. This reporter spent around six hours in the…
I’m tired y’all. The delayed start to last night’s game meant a late arrival back at the False 9 compound. The coffee did not hit right this morning, but the world of MLS doesn’t stop as we have a full weekend of games to scope out. Let’s get this done so that I can take…
