Well, we are huge fans of 4 consecutive kickoffs on Sunday. Heck, we could start with an east coast match at 1 PM ET, and make it 5 MLS matches each Sunday, keeping 10 matches on Saturday. Apple, you have a brilliant idea here that we urge you to take advantage of.

Well, this week didn’t have any Sunday matches due to Easter, which makes sense, but 15 MLS matches on one day was almost overwhelming. At least we could mostly be on our couches watching MLS 360 for it after our early win.

Well, our Verde and Black got their asses thoroughly kicked up north of the border over the weekend, which gave us plenty of reasons to watch the rest of the league play. That being said, it’s not surprising that the Whitecaps lead our rankings this week.

At least our team got these rankings out in the middle of the week! It’s been a busy time around the compound with our springtime activities, so we’ll be a bit more brief than usual:

Here at the compound, the weeks are always better when the Verde and Black win, especially after winning somewhere we have never won before. While we are shooting up these rankings, we are not at the top yet, as Inter Miami remains simply too good.

So yeah, I know we missed the rankings last week, since we were too busy with other stuff. Turns out tracking the international break and following MLS combined with our personal travel just means we fell behind here. However, our voters were rocking and rolling this week, so we were able to get out our…

Well, since we are two weeks into the new MLS season, a number of us gathered around the compound and started looking at the Power Rankings from MLS, ESPN, Backheeled, and other sources. And while many of the people are doing amazing work over there, some of their analysis is just lazy. To be fair,…

First off, Don…

After the 2023 season, our expectations for 2024 Austin FC were pretty low. We just finished a miserable season, and Rodo made it pretty clear that the rebuild of the first team was going to take multiple transfer windows. Maybe come close to a play-in game in the West, get smashed in Leagues Cup, somehow…
