    Yup yup. Hearing intro event this week.

    I’ve been so close to buying one of the Ice Bats jerseys that pops up in my Insta feed on occasion.

    Nico to Phil West (from his newsletter Verde All Day which everyone should subscribe to): The idea about formations is we use different formations when we have the ball, shapes between 4-3-3, the 4-4-2, the 4-2-3-1, also the 3-4-3, then it could shape differently depending also on the opponent. I always said that the opponent, the context that the opponent is showing you, and is bringing to you, is the way that you have to adapt to break them.

    I think the way he's listed here (forward/winger) indicates that it will be either a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2 but they won't be functionally different formations. I think I remember Nico specifically talking about playing 4-4-2 in defense so it could be a mix.

    If you've ever thought to yourself that you'd love 17 minutes of Austin FC news and an hour of MLS roster rule discussion, I've got the show for you. https://www.moontowersoccer.com/mls-roster-rules-101-uzuni-is-official-theory-about-zans-contract-and-more/

    As of right now, he’s the first option off the bench at fullback and one of the wings. I think he sees a lot of time.

    I think he will be great. I also think that Doyle, who wrote that article and who I respect, is stretched way too thin trying to cover every single team in the link. I don’t put a ton of stock in his very specific takes around systems. I don’t think Uzuni works under Wolff’s system but Nico has talked a lot about being more flexible. I can see Biro providing the width on the opposite side from Bukari with Uzuni running underneath. A ton of potential in this club this year.

    Thanks! I think we are going deep on the oddities of MLS roster & salary rules this week.

    $10.5 million and 8.5% of sell on fees.
  11. The times I’ve been on Lower Broadway in the last couple years it has been open to cars. Super fun to sit on a rooftop bar and watch bachelorette party after bachelorette party roll through in open air buses. I’m pretty sure they do close it off for major events.

    Can’t believe Rodo got such a big bag for him. Great call. This is definitely his team. He’s turned over the entire sporting operation - coaches, players, scouts, medical team, etc.

    If you've got 75 minutes, here's a recap of the very busy week or so in Austin FC-land. https://www.moontowersoccer.com/vazquez-is-verde-driussi-leaving-positions-of-need-ilie-profile-and-more/
  14. As someone with tickets on the lower East side, I would like to lodge a formal complaint about where the drones are usually flying.
