Well, Austin FC picked up its first road loss in nearly three months on Saturday night in Minnesota. If you had told us at the beginning of the season that a road run to Montreal, Charlotte, Colorado, Atlanta, Frisco, and Kansas City would have led to 16 points in 18, we would have all thought…
House and Home
I’m not going to lie to you, my dear and gentle readers. My hens were off in their prediction. They saw the win but they didn’t foresee the assault on our collective blood pressure. I began to despair. My pride in the powers of my hens and my ability to read them had taken a…
MLS Cheering Guide – Week 26
We are less than two months from the playoffs starting, which is weird to think about because this season has flown by. Luckily for us, this is MLS and the unique setup of the league typically offers up an insane stretch run where a bunch of teams are in a Ron Burgundy news team fight. …
Magic Number Update 3
Well DC United tried their hardest to stay competitive with LAFC on Tuesday night, it simply wasn’t enough for Wayne Rooney’s men, especially once they were down to 10 men. At this point, LAFC is 9 points above us, and they only need 19 more points to eliminate us and clinch home field advantage. Even…
If you could make an entire Starting 11 by cloning one Austin FC player, who would it be? (A False Nine TX Roundtable)
As many of you are aware, The False Nine periodically has mailbags where we solicit questions via our Twitter fan base and answer them.

Magic Number Update 2
Well, the Verde and Black somehow pulled out a win on Saturday night with the second best comeback of the season, and officially eliminated Sporting Kansas City from finishing above Austin FC. We have avoided ending up with the Anthony J. Precourt Memorial Wooden Spoon (yes, that’s its real name) for another season! I still…
La Murga Report – 8/13/22 vs. Kansas City
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of The False 9’s La Murga Report, click here. Friends, we think it’s late enough in the season that you should know exactly how the Murga Report sausage is made, so to speak. The most important thing to note is that The False 9 is not part of the…
Paws 8:13
The Choppa is a shepherd; One I absolutely want. Dani trained him to lie down in Verde pitches; He leadeth me to beer showers. He’s learning how to roll; he leadeth me in the paths of comebacks for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the hallways of Q2, I will fear no opponent; for…
Showdown at the Golden Corral
To begin with, I feel it necessary to share this once last time. In her prescience, San Julius knew what was up. In a surprise to many, the world also found out that our sacred hens can not only see into the future but they can also send text messages. A terrifying combination, tbh. Needless…
