For players that commented, here’s what they had to say to fans, friends, and family. “We’ll fight til the end…” “No matter what I appreciate everything you guys do. […]

How many near heart attacks did y’all have last weekend watching Stuver make point-blank save after point-blank save? In many ways it felt like a flashback to the USMNT games of the early 2000s with Secretary of Defense Tim Howard single-handedly keeping us in games against superior opponents. Fortunately (or maybe not so much), the […]

If ever Austin FC needed a result in its inaugural season, it would be on Sunday night at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. Following a two game losing streak, and with a trip to Seattle looming, the team from the live music capital must get at least a point in Music City. Here’s what Austin FC […]

Much like the season thus far, the quality of play against the reigning MLS Champion Columbus Crew was a mixed bag, with plenty of positives and negatives coming from the scoreless draw.  Anytime a brand-new expansion franchise grabs a result […]

“Austin FC should be thanking the schedulers,” “they’re just bonus games,” “they can’t keep this up against good teams.” The Verde faithful have heard it all this season. J. Sam Jones, who writes the analysis for MLS Soccer’s weekly power rankings, sums up our perspective perfectly: “[E]ventually, saying ‘Austin ain’t played nobody’ reaches a point […]

The first Austin FC season, with all of its bumps and bruises, is now in the rearview, along with 2021. Expectations for the season varied wildly across the fan base, but not even the staunchest detractor can say the 27th MLS club’s inaugural season was not without its high points.
