Open with an interior view of a suburban house. 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. ANGELA is in the kitchen preparing breakfast. GAVIN is seated at the table looking at his phone eating breakfast. OWEN walks…
Gentle reader, our beloved El FC are playing badly right now. Not down bad. Just plain bad. How do we turn this around? This helps not in the least: But, if we’re being honest, just having these two somewhat available is good news. It difficult to try and be even somewhat optimistic. We here at…
Saturday night felt like that scene in The Princess Bride where Westley describes what a battle to the pain means. Like, yeah, we aren’t dead in the water. But mother fucker that one hurt. There’s no time to wallow in our sorrows though as the Verde & Black play their first home match in a…
Gentle reader, as Thomas Paine tells us, these are the times that try men’s souls. A horrible showing last week. I willed my hens to be optimistic, but should’ve known better. Blues was my theme. I clearly need to heed my own words in the future. To make matters worse, the club issued this ….
Verde family, I gotta tell you, I’m pissed off. Not necessarily at the 6-3 shellacking last weekend in swampy St. Louis. Yes, it sucked, and I did not enjoy it at all, but its MLS and that shit happens on occasion. The reason I’m pissed off is because I missed out on obvious free money…
After having had a chance to visit CITYPark for last weekend’s match, I wanted to share a long overdue piece ranking the league’s stadiums and fan support in it. Unlike some of the other pieces here, I tried to write it from a more neutral perspective rather than a super biased Verde faithful. Tier 1:…
Gentle reader, it has been a minute since we last met. I’d like to say that this time has been well spent. I’d be lying if I did, though. We had to contend with crapping out of the Leagues’ Cup. If that didn’t make you blue enough, we then lost a player who meant so…
You know how bears hibernate for the winter? It feels like Austin FC decided to do that but, in the summer, given the extreme heat. And honestly, I can’t blame the guys. It’s fuckin’ hot. But also, A LOT has happened. Diego is gone. Memo is in. CJ Fodrey looks to have joined the first…
As I entered the hotel lobby in Fort Lauderdale, I knew this wasn’t going to be a normal interview. Typically when I meet with a bona fide soccer star, I opt for one on one conversations to get to know them, preferably outside in the fresh air where they can feel freer. Not only was…
