We’re just over two weeks away from the start of the “longest MLS season ever” and for the first time, our beloved Austin FC enters the year with real expectations for success. Sure, the Western Conference Final still stings to think about, but that humbling Hollywood afternoon should provide fuel for a team that has…
I’ve been trying all week to find the right words for the 2022 Austin FC season. And all I can come up with is: THANK YOU To the men who wear the crest and the staff that preps them, thank you. To the fans that show up and give the Austin FC community life, thank…
Hello there and welcome to Round 2 of the MLS Playoffs. We have two games tonight and one more on Sunday afternoon before we get to the rumble at Q2, yet all of those results could have a major impact on Austin before we ever kick a ball this week. If LAFC, Philadelphia, Montreal, and…
