OK listen, this is not going to be my normal ‘comparing Austin FC players to boy band members’ schtick. We’ve got some important shit to discuss. From the second Austin FC was announced, members of this community fought to establish it as one of the best soccer cities in the country. From announcement day up…

Chicken Prediction: The Dog of War
Gentle reader, my hens and I are at a loss, both literally and figuratively. Many will think our predictions have gone to the dogs. We picked a 1-1 draw. So did Phil. Alas, no such result transpired. Instead of a hard-fought match that resulted in 1 or 3 points earned, our El FC crumbled like…
Chicken Prediction: We’re Streaking?
Gentle reader, we won! Yes, my hens saw this victory coming. If I’m not mistaken, this is the second league victory in a row. Do I dare say we’re on a winning streak? I will also begrudgingly admit that in inestimable Phil West also predicted a victory, but didn’t trust El FC’s defense as much…

Chicken Prediction: A Mystery
Gentle reader, this team is a mystery. One day they’re minnows, barely playing recognizable soccer. The next day? They’re playing beautifully flowing, fitba, filled with fabulous phases of play. Our last match was one such fantastic show. I won’t lie, reader, my hens didn’t see this coming. They predicted a loss. At least Phil West…
MLS Cheering Guide – Week 13
Rejoice! Austin FC has won an MLS match for the first time in two months, and it came in Seattle of all places! Before Wednesday night, Austin had never scored a goal at Lumen Field. But then Ethan Finlay put in arguably his best shift in a Verde uniform, Gyasi Zardes finally put one home,…

Chicken Prediction: Woodshed ahoy!
My dear reader, last match was craptastic. My hens somehow didn’t pick up on the less than stellar 2nd act of our Lord Redes. It’s not as though we were taken out behind the woodshed, but we certainly didn’t cover ourselves in glory. With Redes on the field, my hens insist their prediction would’ve held….
