    Dynamo stadium had visible football lines on it. What a shitty performance. This team has nothing right now. Did get to see a fight in the stands and one of the trumpet players got jumped on the streets outside the stadium and has his trumpet stolen.

    I think 6 yards is about right with both the grass and turf that covers the concrete. So that’s 127 yards end to end. Lot more turf on the sidelines and the pitch is 75 yards wide. I think you might be able to just squeeze it in.

    Won't be as big of a crowd for several reasons (COVID, front office delay in getting a ticket link, etc) but we'll be louder than Houston for sure.

    That's beautiful, man. And I think that's the real opportunity that Austin FC has. To pull people together who love this city but don't have a common experience. Had a fairly long talk with one of the Fighting Leslies guys about that a couple months ago. Looking forward to the Houston trip this weekend. Have no expectations for the team, but spending the day with a few hundred crazy Austin people is good for the soul.

    Stuver Jimenez - Besler - Cascante - Lima Ring - Pochettino Dominguez - Driussi - Fagundez Gallagher Counted to 11 this time.

    How about Jimenez AND Lima? No Pereira tonight because “Canada” and “paperwork” according to him but still an interesting lineup.

    Goddammit.

    I think with Driussi/Djitte up front and some rest for Diego, the best place for Ring is covering for the slowness of our central defenders rather than contributing to the attack.

    Gotcha. It's all good! I think it's Djitte/Gallagher from here on out unless Hoesen or Big Celery magically get healthy. Definitely a position of need in the squad going forward. Here's what I would like to see vs. Vancouver: Stuver Kolmanic - Besler - Cascante - Lima Ring Pochettino - Pereira Dominguez - Driussi - Fagundez Djitte

    Where are you playing Driussi, if not at 10? Wish I knew the logic that went into the expansion draft, because that’s the biggest bust in terms of missed opportunity this year. - Hoesen (sucks/hurt) - Stroud (not bad) - Scott (playing in USL) - Corona (Houston, WTF?) - Kamal Miller (traded immediately)

    Man, there are some real shit takes out there on Facebook. And reddit. And people arguing with Brad Stuver on Twitter. IT'S LIKE THE FAN BASE GREW UP OVER NIGHT!

    Romaña’s lumbering runs late, and asking for the ball inside the box on a give and go, were my favorite parts of the game.

    Because it worked great against Portland and apparently Josh didn’t notice that FCD plays a different style. Ate Austin up with the high press.

    Send our love to the Austin FC players in the game.

    Tiny Sebastian definitely the highlight of the night.

    To paraphrase me from the last podcast, most of the expansion teams from the modern MLS era have been pretty shitty, but not this shitty.

    I mean, we did just put Julio Cascante in as a forward. Not far off from it.

    Wednesday night battle for last place is not the hottest ticket. Nowhere to go but up, though. Kyle Martino is supposed to be at Circle tomorrow night doing a thing with Street FC, a hard court league he helped start. Pickup games at 5 and 6. Kyle promised it will be a “fucking cool time” on our call about it.

    Finishing around 10th in the west would be consistent with most first-year expansion teams. So, we have a climb ahead of us.

    I like this style of post.

    Looks like it only took 2.5 hours longer then expected for the buses to make Frisco. Let’s see some hot Driussi action tonight.

    Watching the videos on social of the buses to Frisco is giving me serious FOMO.

    I love this take. Also, we are creating the experience right now that people will consume (hopefully) decades down the road. We need to get it right. And we need to do it in a way that authentically represents both the sport and the city. We are trying our best to live up to that.

    My 9 YO bought a box of popcorn last night just to throw in the air during Cuervos last night since he doesn’t have beer to throw. Equally proud and pissed about the waste of money.

    Club de Cuervos is the next one that need a video. Complete with people going crazy in the stands.
