MLS CHEERING GUIDE – DECISION DAY 2022

Posted on October 6, 2022October 6, 2022 by Uncle Tony P.

We have arrived.  A regular season that kicked off almost eight months ago comes to an end this Sunday, better known around MLS as Decision Day.  If you are unfamiliar with the concept, all teams in the league will play on Sunday.  Every Eastern Conference game will kick off at 1:30 p.m. and every Western…

Posted on September 30, 2022September 30, 2022 by Uncle Tony P.

Welcome back class.  How was your time away?  Did you get to do some traveling?  Maybe a little relaxing?  I hope so, because HOLY CRAP THE PLAYOFFS ARE JUST TWO WEEKS AWAY! If you need a refresher, here’s where things stand in the West. Austin FC can wrap up the 2nd seed with a point…

MLS Cheering Guide – Week 32

Posted on September 16, 2022September 15, 2022 by Uncle Tony P.

It’s been a grueling 3 ½ months, but this weekend marks the last set of games before MLS finally takes a break for international play.  Austin FC enters the festivities needing nothing more than a draw at home against Nashville to guarantee at least one playoff match at Q2 Stadium.  But that doesn’t mean we…

MLS Cheering Guide – Match Day 31

Posted on September 13, 2022September 13, 2022 by Uncle Tony P.

Raise your hand if you expected Austin FC to be in a dogfight for 2nd place after beating LAFC last month. Yeah, that’s what I thought. Austin’s large gap on 3rd place has shrunk faster than George Costanza coming out of a swimming pool. The Verde & Black’s recent skid has allowed Frisco back into…

MLS Cheering Guide – Week 30

Posted on September 8, 2022September 8, 2022 by Uncle Tony P.

So. Many. Games. Saturday will mark a nearly full slate of MLS action, with the lone exception being a Friday night match north of the border. The playoff picture is starting to become a bit clearer and Austin FC controls it’s own destiny for 2nd place, but a little help never hurt anyone. Plus we’ve…

Playoff Potential: The Final Five Games

Posted on September 6, 2022September 6, 2022 by Uncle Tony P.

So, I have to be honest with you fine folks.  I was doing fun Labor Day Weekend things and didn’t really pay close attention to Austin FC’s game at Nashville.  But scrolling Twitter the next day, it seems that the Verde fan-base is in this mode: To which I would like to say, once again,…

MLS Cheering Guide – Match Day 29

Posted on September 1, 2022September 1, 2022 by Uncle Tony P.

I’m tired y’all.  The delayed start to last night’s game meant a late arrival back at the False 9 compound.  The coffee did not hit right this morning, but the world of MLS doesn’t stop as we have a full weekend of games to scope out.  Let’s get this done so that I can take…

MLS Cheering Guide – Match Day 28

Posted on August 29, 2022August 29, 2022 by Uncle Tony P.

You know what I think I enjoyed almost as much as beating the shit out of LAFC last Friday night?  Having the entire rest of the weekend to kick back and watch everyone else duke it out while I basically did this: Good times.  But we must move on quickly as there is a full…

MLS Cheering Guide – Week 27

Posted on August 24, 2022August 24, 2022 by Uncle Tony P.

MLS teams have between 6-9 (nice!) games left to play in the 2022 regular season, meaning it’s officially crunch time for everyone trying to make the playoffs.  In the East, 5th through 9th place is separated by just 2 points, while the West logjam sees 6th through 10th place with only a 3-point difference.  With…

MLS Cheering Guide – Week 26

Posted on August 18, 2022August 18, 2022 by Uncle Tony P.

We are less than two months from the playoffs starting, which is weird to think about because this season has flown by.  Luckily for us, this is MLS and the unique setup of the league typically offers up an insane stretch run where a bunch of teams are in a Ron Burgundy news team fight. …
