Right after the game I had to go take a piss so I didn't burst once we got on the train.  Walking against the grain of the crowd coming towards me and I notice Claudio Reyna, in a suit, a phone to his

That. Was fucking. NUTS. Wildly frustrated that we couldn’t put more than one in with a man advantage, but my frustration didn’t appear to help them. My wife had a conflict, so I took one of my olde

Wouldn't be MLS if some shitass defender didn't almost head the ball in his own net.

Can we sign some real players for our end of the pitch?

Boneheaded play, but for the most part Austin FC has been energized and smart.

Yeah they've been good. Just commenting on some of the individual quality we're running out there.

Reminded me of some of the plays in NASA before my kid moved up the ranks.  I should have just printed a sign that said "wtf are you doing?"

It literally looked like he was trying to score.

Was a good save from Stu.

And y'all wanted to fire Jorsh.

Last night was the first game where AFC played like the better team pretty much the whole match. No big groaner mistakes or stupid lapses, just pretty sound football. That was the turn I’ve been looking for. Wins are great, but the last few have been because they were lucky. This one was because they were good.

Rubio and Obrian have been crucial adds.  They haven't been ruined by Wolff Ball and just press down field dragging everyone else with them.  It's done wonders for the team as a whole.  We only pass back to Stuver without reason maybe 3-5 times a game now instead of every possession. It's amazing how more productive your offense is when you don't allow the defense time to find its shape.

This week will be tough.  If we take 3-4 points in next two, lucky or not, that will be huge heading into next home game.  


Beating Vancouver might put us in top 3 after this weekend amazingly (recognizing a few teams have a game in hand)   

If we can hover in this 5-7 range and make playoffs this year I will be thrilled.

Happy with a point on the road against a top 3 team.  

Nearly zero offense - much like some of the earlier losses and draws.  Pleased that they have a fairly strong defense. 

Yeah, Cascante catches hell but he’s a well above average MLS defender (all relative), particularly given what he adds on set pieces.  Getting Kolmanic back is great.   
 

More Fodrey please.   And let’s beat Dallas (again).

@PittsburghTiger is your son playing in today's match against Austin FCito?  If so, remind me of his number.  IIRC, he's a center back.

My Godson. My German cousin's boy, Mikey Wentzel. He is #40, yes, a center back. That game is tomorrow, the 12th, I think 6 p.m. Austin time. He'll get back up with the big team later in the season. They have three older guys in front of him on that roster, and I think the one is making some good $$ so they won't throw him to the side at the moment.

FC Dallas has some cool giveaways including free beer and whisky samples in the stadium, but the atmosphere was certainly Friscoish. People were nice and the stadium itself is much nicer than the last time I was there a decade ago. Of the MLS stadium experiences I've been to it goes:

 

1.) Austin FC

2.) Sporting KC

3.) FC Dallas

4.) Houston Dynamo

 

Hopefully I'll add another this summer but damn this team is still frustrating.

Agree that it's a decentish experience. Maybe we weren't looking the right place, but the food options seemed super generic. Appreciate what they're trying to do at Q2. I'm also so tired of getting shittalked by Frisco fans as we fall behind yet again. Felt like we bought pretty good energy to the Toyota Truck Month end of the stadium.

They were selling Indian food behind our section (102), but it was a special one off for Asian Appreciation Night or whatever. We ate at the Mexican place across the street instead of eating in the stadium, but the food in the stadium looked pretty bad....and also wet.

We had a hot dog and a "street taco" and then picked up Whataburger on the way home.

Totally forgot about watching LAFC win the 2019 supporters shield at The Banc vs Houston. Make that #3. Fun fact is that it had the same architect as Q2 who was able to apply everything they learned about designing the stadium to make a better version in Austin.

 

Stadium-wise, Seattle, KC and Cincinnati are my top 3 places I want to visit. This ignores the fact that Montreal, Vancouver and NYC are more fun cities (along with others).

We've looked pretty dangerous so far, especially compared to the game in Houston. Both teams with two very near misses. 

 

Feels like a 3 or 4 goal game. Ring and Driussi are finding the ball in good spots, one of them should find a goal tonight.
