My beloved hens and I are usually a stoic bunch. Excitement for us is when Tomlinson’s has ethcially-sourced, pelleted feed on sale. But, our normal, unflappable selves were tested as El FC lost to the Carson Galaxy. The chickens predicted a 1-1 draw and were probably right. Seriously. Look at that xG! Without a doubt,…
For the first time this season, we enter a full MLS stretch where teams are playing three games over the course of 8 or 9 days, thus the cheering guides will be coming in hot and fast. We’re about to find out which teams have real depth and which ones don’t. Remember, I’m here to…
“HELLO!” Rang out the call from the tarmac. Diego couldn’t believe he’d been sent here, Utah of all places. “I know it’s not what you wanted,” but you should look on the bright side, “You won’t believe how much this book will change your life,” the very midwestern looking gentleman told him as he shoved…
There appears to be some confusion online about what we mean when we say “y’all means all” in the Austin FC fan community, so we here at The False 9 felt it was appropriate to write this handy guide. Consider this an act of service journalism. What Does “Y’all Means All” Mean? It means that…
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of The False 9’s La Murga Report, click here. When Silence Speaks Volumes A few hours before kickoff on Sunday morning, La Murga announced that they would lead a moment of silence, beginning in the tenth minute, to honor victims of domestic and intimate partner violence. I have always…
Welcome to May, also known as the biggest month in Austin FC’s short MLS history. For some in the national media, it’s “prove it” time for the Verde & Black after getting off to a rocket fast start. This month features five matches against four teams, all of which are currently sitting about the playoff…
What a week! I can feel the blood pulsating through me, granting me life with every throb. In fact, all four of my humors are perfectly in balance. Nothing phlegmatic or choleric over here. Fresh from our trip to the somewhat beautiful Foxwoods, my precious hens and I are living in perfect harmony. The chickens…
April had everything. I feel like a Stefon sketch from Saturday Night Live when I talk about all of the wild shit that happened. But it’s time to turn the calendar as Austin FC finds itself firmly in 2nd place in both the West and the Supporter’s Shield race. First things are always first, which…
Is this real life? Did Austin FC, the league’s 4th worst team in 2021, just finish a 13-point April? Yes and yes. When April began, even the most optimistic Verde fans would have considered a nine or ten point month a rousing success. But 13?! That’s absurd. Austin FC had acquired just 38 points in…
Since we are still a pretty new club in the league, outside Copa Tejas, we haven’t had the opportunity to develop many rivalry trophies yet. However, we have some proposals for supporter created trophies, we’ll let the general supporters on both the Austin FC and the potential rival sides decide if these trophies are good…
