August 6th, 2022. Verdisimo, our resident Austin FC Luchador, was brought into existence. Like a true wrestling hero, he arrived with fanfare and was immediately pushed, as we say in the business, with 7 points in four games including an incredible comeback against Sporting KC where the team twice kicked out of the opposition’s best…
Hello you MLS Sickos! Somehow Austin FC avoided relegation last year so we’re back for year number four in this zany ass league. Speaking of, I should probably get you caught up on a few things: Usually in this space we do a “cheering guide”, where I try to make informed decisions on who we…
The False 9 Staff is here to preview the 2024 MLS season for Austin FC. Can they make the playoffs? And what is Rodo cooking?
You can always count on Sweet Lou Brown to put things into perspective when needed. I lead with this because for all intents and purposes, Austin FC needs to win three straight matches to even have a chance at sneaking into the playoffs. Step one has been accomplished with the 3-0 beatdown of Wayne Rooney’s…
I’m angry. You should be too.
450 minutes to save the season. That’s what is left in front of Austin FC to try and salvage something, anything, out of this disastrous 2023 campaign. Normally in this space, we try to have some fun and keep you abreast of what’s happening around MLS and tell you, the adoring Austin FC supporter, who…
Remember how I said the Frisco match last week was “To the pain” a la Princess Bride? Apparently, we didn’t go far enough in our consideration of pain after experiencing another heartbreaking defeat Wednesday against Seattle. Austin scored 2 goals and should have had at least a draw. I don’t give a shit what MLS…
Saturday night felt like that scene in The Princess Bride where Westley describes what a battle to the pain means. Like, yeah, we aren’t dead in the water. But mother fucker that one hurt. There’s no time to wallow in our sorrows though as the Verde & Black play their first home match in a…
Verde family, I gotta tell you, I’m pissed off. Not necessarily at the 6-3 shellacking last weekend in swampy St. Louis. Yes, it sucked, and I did not enjoy it at all, but its MLS and that shit happens on occasion. The reason I’m pissed off is because I missed out on obvious free money…
You know how bears hibernate for the winter? It feels like Austin FC decided to do that but, in the summer, given the extreme heat. And honestly, I can’t blame the guys. It’s fuckin’ hot. But also, A LOT has happened. Diego is gone. Memo is in. CJ Fodrey looks to have joined the first…
