Well, that was a match last week against the Red Bulls. Sadly, chickens can’t predict COVID cases, because they would have predicted a different result without Brad Stuver.

Post-Charlotte Thoughts from flying somewhere over Middle America
Good Afternoon, eastern conference leaders! Instead of my normal more focused article, I am going to let my mind drift this afternoon as I fly across our beautiful country from Charlotte to Denver before Denverde 3.0 on the 4th of July.

So what happened to Ted Unkel in Montreal? We have 9 Theories

Along with 300 of my closest Verde brethren (250+ supporters joined by dozens of friends and family), we set foot for a march on the Capitol to see if Austin FC could finally win a road match. By now, y’all know the heroic tale of our fearless leader Pollo, but my job is to tell…
New MLS Attendance Promotions Nights
At Austin FC, we are lucky to have sold out every match at McKalla so far. For many other teams across the league, the glass isn’t even half full. As a result, we wanted to offer some unsolicited advice on ways for some clubs across the league to increase their attendance. We’ll go in order…
