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.

Last week was one to remember. Of highest importance was me welcoming the newest chicken to our compound. Everyone fell in love with Wolfie and her impeccable prognosticating ways. Of lesser note was El FC’s excellent win vs. some ragtag group of beaver pelt trading (probably) Canucks. Despite my instant love for Wolfie, both San…
Austin FC enters it’s first derby week of the season sitting in 2nd place both in the West and the Supporter’s Shield standings with 17 points through 8 games. For perspective, ATXFC did not reach 17 points until August 21st last year on matchday #20. “Easy” early schedule or not, the improvement is real and…
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of The False 9’s La Murga Report, click here. This week, we would be remiss if we didn’t highlight the release of La Murga de Austin Vol. 1, the band’s first collection of recorded songs and chants. You can find the album on Spotify and Apple Music. The fact…
