Hey, would you look at that?! Austin FC are on a bit of a heater having taken 10 points in four games and now find themselves in 5th place. A critical three game road trip comes to an end Wednesday night in Vancouver followed by a weekend home match against Sporting Kansas City before the…
Gentle reader, our last match was, in the words of any good Midwesterner, “Ope!” A bit of a surprise, to be honest. Our beloved El FC had been riding higher than prime John Bonham. In fact, I was feeling so good, I found myself humming what is perhaps the greatest cover of any song anywhere,…
Austin FC stays on the road to face Minnesota this weekend, but there’s a full slate of MLS action too! TF9 is here to get you ready.
Since we are in the middle of an epic North American road trip from the swamps of South Florida where we only managed a draw to the prairies of Minnesota to the shadows of the whitecaps in British Columbia, I decided to look back on all 12 Austin FC road wins in the club’s history…
Let’s all stand for the playing of our National Anthem. Yes friends, there are five, count ’em FIVE MLS games to enjoy on your Fourth of July holiday. Of the course the main sporting event of the day will be anchored by Joey Chestnut, but some evening soccer isn’t a bad desert before setting Texas…

Austin FC finally found some rhythm last week, scoring six goals and picking up two massive Copa Tejas wins. The attack looked more fluid and…
It’s been a great week for Austin FC fans. The team defeated both in state rivals 3-0 to take a lead atop the Copa Tejas standings and they hired Rodolfo Borrell as new Sporting Director (former Liverpool and City academy director, and Pep Guardiola assistant). Life is beautiful Well It was beautiful Like how dark…
Gentle reader, I need to thank Charles Peacock, Esq. for his work last week. If you are not aware, he’s a real one. Now, I won’t stoop to that level to explain what he is real at, but he is. This team of ours, our beloved FC, continue to confound those of us here at…
As all of you are painfully aware, Austin FC has not played a match in 11 days when they…well, let’s just not remember what happened that day. Instead of talking about that match, I wanted to do an update on The Compound, as our intrepid staff used the break in the schedule to catch up…
