We’re not going to talk about last week’s Austin FC match. It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t positive. Let’s just move on. But you know what we will talk about? The rest of this incredibly dumb and fascinating league where the GAM is made up and the rules don’t matter. Don’t believe me? Remember that guy? …
It was a day like many others at The Compound. We sadly sat at the breakfast table thinking about Saturday’s loss to LAFC, looking out on the chickens as they pecked, stared, and plotted. It was while I was mid tea sip that my phone buzzed, which is strange because my phone is set to…
Gentle reader, it has been some time since El FC last played. We can all agree it was a frustrating night. And, yes, my hens recalibrated and nailed the score. I would like to humbly add that, although I appreciate the optimism of Phil West, he failed in his prediction. Whenever I walk along the…
How is everyone? Rested? Relaxed? Good. That’s what bye weeks are for. Now wake the fuck up cause shit is getting real! The WORLD CHAMPION US Women’s National Team plays at Q2 Stadium Saturday afternoon and then Austin FC returns to action with a big road match against the defending MLS champions that evening.

Gentle reader, my hens and I were wrong. Our beloved El FC didn’t win. In fact, they lost to a bunch of jort sharters. Perhaps the only solace I am taking is that the (previously assumed) omniscient Phil West failed in his prediction as well. What is clearly needed is a recalibration. A recalibration for…
Gentle reader, we have learned this week that being an Austin tifoso is no easy task. In fact, we must always be prepared for fortune to sling us about, both to and fro. Case in point: this week’s crashing out of the CCL. But, the fickle soccer gods taketh and giveth. Last week, my hens,…
Week 4 is here and despite the doom and gloom of CONCACAF Champions League, Austin FC are actually sitting pretty in the MLS standings with a nice 6 points out of 9. And after playing a tough, resilient Violette squad, ATXFC gets a breather with a road match against “rival” Houston this weekend where thousands…
