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. Basically,…
Now that Austin FC’s first team is back in action we have actual things to post and write about. The break has not been kind here at the compound: the chickens are restless, we’ve had the 4-1 Austin FC win over LAFC in Q2 playing on a loop, and Travis McTravelface has been rocking back…
All in good fun!
It’s a bye week for the Verde & Black, which means we can sit back, relax, and totally not worry about the struggles seen during the opening month of the season. It’s Spring now. Hope is eternal. <looks at schedule> OH CRAP WE HAVE TO PLAY AT LAFC NEXT WEEK?!!! Deep breath. That’s not until…

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…
The match-by-match report on La Murga de Austin’s setlist and an analysis of which songs correspond to goals scored or conceded by Austin FC.
Gentle reader, our last home game was a delight. It was a lesson in delayed gratification. I can’t speak for you, but I never lost doubt. The resulting release of emotion was as if I were on Eschscholtz Atoll. I’m not one to brag, but my hens, of course, picked the victory. I’m also not…
It’s been a weird week. In the last seven days, we’ve seen Austin FC win a league match in the final minutes, get drubbed by a little-known Haitian side in CCL action, and potentially have that same side not play the return leg in Austin due to visa issues because, ya know, CONCACAF. At least…
