Welcome dear readers to this year’s annual MLS Training Top Rankings where we debate and critique the league wide training kits. Fashion is an important part of the sport and because MLS teams only introduce one new kit person due to the lazy hard working folks at Adidas they make up for it by releasing…
EXT: view of a suburban house. INT: 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. JOSH comes down the…
Hello Austin FC faithful (because let’s be honest, that’s all who is left this season). As Austin are coming off a 2-1 loss to Toronto FC Saturday and take on LAFC at BMO Stadium (where Austin have lost their last three matches by a combined score of 8-0) and will be without three contributors (Sebastian…
Needless to say, it’s been a week at The Compound and due to time constraint, I’m going to get right to it. It all started last weekend when a few of us visited Nashville for the Austin FC match at beautiful GEODIS Park. It was a lovely weekend with great weather, but unfortunately, Louis was…
