    I wouldn’t mind limiting McKalla to once a game. We are building history on the fly here so it’s going to take a while to build out the songbook.

    My heart really is in McKalla. Oh la la.

    And Brad Stuver didn't make the All Star Team, so fuck MLS.

    Hey gang, novel idea. At least one fucking goal tonight. No Driussi. Probably some Pereira & Gaines. Imagine we see Lima start, considering the minutes Jimenez has played over the last month.

    Nothing's for sure with this team.

    This is what we need Wednesday from Driussi. Matching lion back tattoos demands it. https://www.espn.com/soccer/la-galaxy/story/3438193/zlatan-ibrahimovic-scores-two-stunning-goals-in-mls-debut-with-la-galaxy

    Completely agree. This Houston midweek match is the first one where I’m looking for a reason to get excited. At least it’s another Texas team.

    Why must we suck so bad????

    McKenze Gaines, attacking player and local boy, signed today. He's been playing in Germany for the last few years. That basically fills out our roster. He's not going to set the world on fire, but should be another decent option. And, he should be available this weekend since there aren't any visas to deal with. As a bonus, he's been on trial for a few weeks so he should know the system a bit.

    He flew in from Russia yesterday so it could be several factors. Pretty sure there’s a 5 day quarantine requirement. Also may be visa/paperwork issues which is what’s still holding up Djitte.

    Maybe Houston. If not, then Frisco. Would be badass to see him score his first goal in front of 1000 traveling Austin FC fans at Toyota Park.

    My company has seats there, but I haven’t been in them yet. The one thing they’ve talked about is you can order food/booze delivered to your seats but it’s the standard fare (popcorn, nachos, etc). You get a lot better options in the club itself. You can also watch the postgame press conferences from the club with a beer in hand because the media room is right there. That would be a cool thing to watch if we win.

    Watched a fair amount of Driussi video and I’m excited. He’s going to instantly be our best player. And free some others up to play their natural positions.

    The Driussi rumors continue to putter along. Should resolve some day soon.
  15. This is a pretty decent lineup.

    As a member of the Austin soccer media, I would like to express my professional opinion on last night - THAT WAS FUCKING AWFUL

    8:48 kick, yo. Moved it from Saturday to make it a National TV game.
  21. I saw Don Walser open for Johnny Cash at the Erwin Center many years ago. That was a badass show.
  22. I did certainly appreciate the Save Austin Now ghouls using those Nextdoor threads to push their petition.

    That's the big question - How much do we trust Claudio's words? If we sign two more guys during this window, it will be completely consistent with what he's said all along about the roster build. If we don't sign anyone, then we have a low rent squad. There are a lot of factors that come with bringing a player into camp - player, agent, family, buying team, selling team, etc. Sean Rubio's said that he's more surprised that any deals happen than any time one falls through. THAT SAID, there should be several deals in the works right now, with a couple to come through soon. As far as keeping secrets, Cecilio and Pochettino were telegraphed. Djitte and Kolmanic came out of nowhere. So we've done a little of both.

    Josh was noncommittal as shit about everyone else on the presser today, too. I’m more worried about Pereira/Gallagher than Djitte at this point. Luckily, Seattle has 12 healthy, eligible senior players. They’re worse off than we are on that front. Added some USL guys on an emergency basis just to field a squad.

    Whole pitch pulled up and being replaced today. Hopefully they get this under control.
