Austin FC is back at Q2 and I have to say I am very happy to be back at the Compound with the Chickens. Wolffie and San Julius have been incredibly comforting in this trying time for Austin FC. From giving up more than 11 corners a match, being outshot 45-11, or their complete lack…
Saturday, March 9th NYCFC vs Portland Timbers – 1:00 p.m. (Apple TV)Can NYCFC can keep pace with Austin and San Jose in the early race for the Wooden Spoon? Toronto FC vs FC Charlotte – 1:00 p.m. (Apple TV)A battle between two teams whom I may have underestimated in the pre-season. The game to watch…
After the 2023 season, our expectations for 2024 Austin FC were pretty low. We just finished a miserable season, and Rodo made it pretty clear that the rebuild of the first team was going to take multiple transfer windows. Maybe come close to a play-in game in the West, get smashed in Leagues Cup, somehow…
I woke up this past Sunday morning and did my usual in-season routine: During this week’s pod in which The False 9’s own Charles Peacock was a panelist, the group spoke briefly about Josh Wolff’s job status and mentioned that Austin FC had only procured 56 points in its last 50 MLS regular season matches….
It’s been a sad week at The Compound, not just because of how quickly Austin dashed our hopes in the first match of the season, but because the weather swings have been absolute hell on everyone. We’ve had between 4/6 and 12/16 of the staff down with the flu, congestion, or bad coughs the entire…
Saturday, March 2nd Real Salt Lake vs LAFC – 1:00 p.m. CT (Apple TV)I can give you soccer reasons to watch this game. But why do that when it is very likely going to be complete chaos thanks to the weather?! 65 MPH wind gusts!!!! Calling it right now: a keeper is going to try…
August 6th, 2022. Verdisimo, our resident Austin FC Luchador, was brought into existence. Like a true wrestling hero, he arrived with fanfare and was immediately pushed, as we say in the business, with 7 points in four games including an incredible comeback against Sporting KC where the team twice kicked out of the opposition’s best…
There are very few things in life better than getting something for free. It’s why the human race has engineered ways to fire hot dogs, t-shirts, and tacos out of a compressed air cannon. We here at The False Nine, in our attempt to cover all aspects of Austin FC fandom, have come up with…
The match-by-match report on La Murga de Austin’s setlist and an analysis of which songs correspond to goals scored or conceded by Austin FC.
The Austin FC season officially starts tonight at Q2 against Minnesota United. Yes, we’ve been on a bit of an hiatus (our tweets per day and articles per month metrics as bad as Don Garber’s approval ratings), but there was a valid reason for that in fact, possibly the most important reason for our site…
