Chaos seems to be the name of the game lately for our beloved El FC. In a game that the verdeblack only needed a draw, our boys marched into Frisco and came out with a butt-thumpin’ loss. To add insult to injury, our (for reasons known but to Wolff) captain decided to lose his mind…
MLS Cheering Guide: Volume 4, Match Day 25
I’m tired y’all. I’m tired of WolffIn/WolffOut. I’m tired of watching Austin FC players make bonehead mistake after bonehead mistake. I’m tired of being asked to pay the equivalent of a mortgage for a beer at Q2 Stadium. It’s all just so exhausting with seemingly no reward on the other side. WAIT. IT CAN’T BE! …
Rotten in Austin
To Wolff, or not to Wolff, that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler on the pitch to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous horseshoes, Or to take arms against a sea of losing And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep, No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and…

By the Numbers: Wolffball Retreat
Welp, here we go again. Austin FC finds themselves on the wrong side of the playoff line after another poor run of form, having secured just four points in the last six games. And as we here at The False 9 have been pointing out for nearly a year now, this is not new. On…
Derivitive Times
Welp, gentle reader, El FC won their last match. As in the previous match, my reading of The Colonel was mixed: correct number of goals, but wrong distribution. I’m not worried, though. Although my time back here at the compound is limited, I’m confident that we will become more united in spirit, thought, and voice….
MLS Cheering Guide: Volume 4, Match Day 21
It’s Friday afternoon. You know what that means! That’s right, it’s time for your weekly dose of MLS schadenfreude. But first, let’s check in our own Austin FC. The boys picked up a surprising 1-0 win in Minnesota last week without the services of Driussi, Pereira, Cascante, and Valencia, putting the squad back into 8th…
Looney Rhythms
Gentle reader, I am still riding high on the endorphin rush brought about by my return home. The only thing that is keeping me grounded is the deep emptiness within my soul. Losing one’s chickens does that to your natural rhythms. Although I got the number of goals correct, I slightly missed on the distribution…
