Gentle reader, when is a not win a win? When the win wins over the fans like a wind through a window. Yes, my hens foresaw a victory, which, by the score, wasn’t correct, but, by the feeling afterwards, was. Phil West was just wrong: The architecture can be marvelous. I.M. Pei’s city hall is…
May 10, 2023. What a glorious day for Austin, and therefore the world! Not only did Austin FC win for the first time in almost two months, but RODNEY FREAKING REDES SCORED! Q2 Stadium may have only been about 80% full for the US Open Cup match against New Mexico United on Wednesday, but at…
Dearest Gertrude, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I write to you today to regale you with the tale of a wondrous event that took place at Q2 stadium yesterday – a seminal moment in Austin FC history. The day was cloudy and overcast, the sun trying to peak…
Well this season hasn’t gotten off to the best start to say the least. We crashed out of CCL in a borderline unexplainable way, we are below the 9 out of 14 team playoff line in the Western conference (at least we still have time to recover on that front), and the injury bug has…
Gentle reader, El FC did not, in fact, win. My beloved hens and I were fighting the over-emotionality of others and predicted a win. Our optimism was wrong. We apologize for missing the score, but not the sentiment. If there is any positive to take from this match, it’s that Phil also missed his prediction….
Goals! Austin FC scored goals in a real, live match last week! Sure, it was another home draw ya Debby Downer, but the scoreless drought is over! You know what? Hey, things could be worse. We could be Sporting Kansas City. Speaking of SKC…. MLS Sickos Game of the WeekSeattle Sounders vs Sporting Kansas City…
Gentle reader, the results of our El FC have been less than stellar. Our last match was not good. My beloved hens did pick the score exactly. Phil West? He came close. In the immortal words of Archimedes, I shouted “Eureka!” The poor results have turned my hens into emo hens. They’ve internalized the pain…
Never, gentle reader, did I think this season would unfold the way it has so far. Our last game was a bit of a dud. Yes, my hens predicted a loss. In their defense, if you actually watched the game, it felt like a loss. Going into detail, trying to figure out all that is…
Welp, its only a few weeks until the MLS season is 1/3rd of the way complete, which means we are almost at the time for Austin FC fans to do this: And they would be right to do so. I’m not going to freak out…..yet. I’ll work up an entire standings look soon in a…
Gentle reader, it’s been a trying season for us so far. Our woes continued last week, losing to LAFC. We can’t claim it as a surprise, though. Both our lovely hens picked the outcome and so did Phil West. Let’s not mince words. We’re playing badly. Having said that, let me be clear: we’re not…
