Hello you MLS Sickos! Somehow Austin FC avoided relegation last year so we’re back for year number four in this zany ass league. Speaking of, I should probably get you caught up on a few things: Usually in this space we do a “cheering guide”, where I try to make informed decisions on who we…
The False 9 Staff is here to preview the 2024 MLS season for Austin FC. Can they make the playoffs? And what is Rodo cooking?
EXT: view of a suburban house. INT: We see the kitchen and dining room table separated by a countertop. A staircase to the second story of the house is in the background. ANGELA is in the kitchen preparing breakfast. GAVIN is seated at the table looking at his phone eating breakfast. JOSH comes down the…
