It’s August 1st. Welcome to the final 1/3 of the season Verde friends. You may remember that following our loss to the L.A. Galaxy, I took a look at some historical results and kindly asked that some folks CALM. THE. FUCK. DOWN. And y’all, I’ve got to be honest: I feel vindicated. Two months ago,…
Austin FC will finish a brutal stretch of 6 road games in 9 contests tonight at Kansas City with a chance to take 20 of a possible 27 points. Which, in a league built on parity and long travel, is enormous. They’ll have that opportunity against a Sporting side that comes into the match fighting…
