Hello dear readers, I’m not going to lie to you, it’s tough to write these, almost as tough as is it to watch this current iteration of Austin FC. From the lack of defending, the lack of offense, the lack of Josh Wolff taking accountability, it’s tough to find any kind of silver lining. So…

The Chickens Predict: Austin FC vs. St Louis CITY
Austin FC is back at Q2 and I have to say I am very happy to be back at the Compound with the Chickens. Wolffie and San Julius have been incredibly comforting in this trying time for Austin FC. From giving up more than 11 corners a match, being outshot 45-11, or their complete lack…
The Chickens Predict: Austin FC at Seattle Sounders

This replaces the Sentimiento kit, which was met with skepmintcism initially, but has become the favormint kit of many in the Austin…
The 2023 MLS Training Top Rankings
Hello TF9ers! Now that the Austin FC season has ended we can look back on it and think about the good times (Rodney Redes scoring), the bad times (Any Cup competition), and all the times in between.
