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,…
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…
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 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…
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. …
It’s a midweek cheering guide. You know what that means? Quick hits! Remember, we aren’t picking winners here. We’re trying to figure out who to root for so that it helps Austin FC (or, ya know, makes us laugh). All ratings are on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the most impactful towards ATXFC….
Do you like goals? Then boy howdy did MLS provide for you last week! One would think scoring may revert to the mean a little this weekend across the league as the stars of MLS should be tired from kicking Liga MX’s all over Minnesota. But it’s MLS, so expect chaos at all times. The…
Welcome to the time in the MLS season where the term “6-pointer” becomes part of the match week preview! What is a 6-pointer you ask? It’s when two teams battling for similar playoff positions face-off in a game. If one team picks up the win, they gain three points while the other theoretically loses out…
Q: Uncle Tony P, why is there a mid-week cheering guide when Austin FC doesn’t play until the weekend?A: Don’t know, don’t care. MLS Mid-week Madness baby!!! <clanks beers together like Stone Cold> Q: OK, but do you plan on doing actual analysis for these matches?A: Hell no! Quick hits here we come. Games That…
It’s August 1st. Welcome to the final 1/3 of the season Verde friends. You may remember that following our loss to the L.A. Galaxy, I took a look at some historical results and kindly asked that some folks CALM. THE. FUCK. DOWN. And y’all, I’ve got to be honest: I feel vindicated. Two months ago,…
