For the first time this season, MLS will give us a pretty full slate of mid-week matches to satiate our soccer needs. Ten games are scheduled for action tomorrow night and thanks to the late kickoff in L.A., us ATX fans will be able to catch most of the action before the main event. So let’s start figuring out to cheer for on hump day!

Know Your Foe: Real Salt Lake
At the conclusion of tonight’s game, Austin FC will be just about one-third of the way through the MLS season. Seems like it was just a week or two ago that we were all freezing at Q2 Stadium while watching Verde pour in five goals in back-to-back weeks to start the season. And yet even…
MLS Cheering Guide – Week 11
For the first time this season, we enter a full MLS stretch where teams are playing three games over the course of 8 or 9 days, thus the cheering guides will be coming in hot and fast. We’re about to find out which teams have real depth and which ones don’t. Remember, I’m here to…
Know Your Foe: L.A. Galaxy
Welcome to May, also known as the biggest month in Austin FC’s short MLS history. For some in the national media, it’s “prove it” time for the Verde & Black after getting off to a rocket fast start. This month features five matches against four teams, all of which are currently sitting about the playoff…
MLS Cheering Guide – Week 10
April had everything. I feel like a Stefon sketch from Saturday Night Live when I talk about all of the wild shit that happened. But it’s time to turn the calendar as Austin FC finds itself firmly in 2nd place in both the West and the Supporter’s Shield race. First things are always first, which…
Reflecting on a Wild Month
Is this real life? Did Austin FC, the league’s 4th worst team in 2021, just finish a 13-point April? Yes and yes. When April began, even the most optimistic Verde fans would have considered a nine or ten point month a rousing success. But 13?! That’s absurd. Austin FC had acquired just 38 points in…

MLS Cheering Guide: Week 9
Austin FC enters it’s first derby week of the season sitting in 2nd place both in the West and the Supporter’s Shield standings with 17 points through 8 games. For perspective, ATXFC did not reach 17 points until August 21st last year on matchday #20. “Easy” early schedule or not, the improvement is real and…
Know Your Foe: Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Wednesday night sucked. But I’m hear to lay a hard truth on everyone: It’s time to move on. Austin FC enters tonight’s match in 2nd place in the Western Conference and 3rd place in the race for the Supporter’s Shield. The MLS season is 20% over, and while there is certainly a…
