Leagues Cup Intro

Posted on July 18, 2023July 18, 2023 by Travis McTravelFace

Congrats! We have survived the first half plus of the MLS Season in 5th place in the West after this bizarre first two/thirds of the season. If you had told me, we would be in 5th back in February with the string of injuries we have dealt with, I doubt I would have believed you….

Chicken Prediction: Daniel-san

Posted on July 15, 2023July 15, 2023 by Louis de Ludovico

Gentle reader, let me begin by thanking fellow compound-mate, Charles, for filling in for me last Wednesday’s match, which was characterized by a sad lacking of our midfield maestro, Daniel Pereira. As one might surmise, our bhoys in viride did not emerge victorious. It really does come down to, no Dani, no party. Sure, some…

Chicken Prediction – “O Canada” the Banger

Posted on July 12, 2023July 12, 2023 by Charles Peacock

Hello everyone, I am back substituting for Louis in tending the chickens as he has devoted the past week fact-checking and dismissively tweeting about Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which if you haven’t seen is an adventure story about a grumpy old man who just wants to fall asleep on his recliner watching…

Chicken Prediction: A Midwest Ope

Posted on July 8, 2023July 8, 2023 by Louis de Ludovico

Gentle reader, our last match was, in the words of any good Midwesterner, “Ope!” A bit of a surprise, to be honest. Our beloved El FC had been riding higher than prime John Bonham. In fact, I was feeling so good, I found myself humming what is perhaps the greatest cover of any song anywhere,…

Ranking the Austin FC Road Wins

Posted on July 5, 2023July 3, 2023 by Travis McTravelFace

Since we are in the middle of an epic North American road trip from the swamps of South Florida where we only managed a draw to the prairies of Minnesota to the shadows of the whitecaps in British Columbia, I decided to look back on all 12 Austin FC road wins in the club’s history…

Chicken Prediction: Josh the Obscure

Posted on July 1, 2023July 1, 2023 by Louis de Ludovico

Gentle reader, this week has left me in a state of bewilderment. Just two weeks ago, our beloved El FC was playing atrocious footy. No ruthless verticality. All we had was horseshoes of sadness and a lot of crosses. Crosses that went to no one. Crosses that kept coming despite being ineffectual. I did my…
