This year our beloved Verde will be jumping into the deep end of the club fútbol pool, and we’ve got everything you need to know if you have no idea what the difference is between a CONMEBOL and a CONCACAF. FIFA is more than a video game, it is the global governor of all things […]
You couldn’t choose a better day than today—Valentine’s Day—for Austin FC and their star player Sebastián Driussi to get hitched.

I know I lost some of you with the title of this post. I get it. Maybe this disclaimer will save some of you some time: I’m biased. Ever since the USMNT triumphed over Mexico in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, I’ve been a Claudio Reyna fan. He’s always been my “Captain America.” Also, my […]

Austin FC’s inaugural season ended with a thud, by way of a 3-0 collapse to the Portland Timbers at Providence Park. Talk of a three-game sweep against the other MLS tree team quickly faded when Timbers’ Christhian Paredes nailed one in goal at the 17′ mark.
