I typed my way into a corner at the beginning of last week: It’s come down to this week for the Verde and Black. 6 points to turn this season around. 6 points to win Texas. Nothing less. I was quite worried about how I’d have to respond if the Verde boys didn’t deliver the goods in […]
It took four whole days to pick myself up out of this funk, and find the heart to write up something about Austin FC-related. That loss to Houston Dynamo hurt bad, as evidenced by the dent in my drywall (you never know where those studs are, so I didn’t punch hard enough to risk an […]
I’ve lived in Austin since 1992 (except for the 4 years l lived in Mexico City). That’s where I fell in love with the beautiful game in 2002. This will be my 3rd year holding down my season tix in the 107. I’m so exicited that I’ve been given this opportunity to use my words […]
Austin rebounded to start the second half of the season against a depleted Dallas squad as they took a 3-0 victory. The game came after a 90 minute weather delay. But many fans stuck around to support the Verde and Black. The main surprise to the Starting XI was Josh Wolff going with Ethan Finlay […]
At the time of this writing, Austin FC hasn’t officially announced season ticket prices yet for their inaugural season in 2021. The mystery is killing us, so we did the next best thing. We compared 2020 season ticket prices for three of the newest MLS clubs: FC Cincinnati (joined 2019), Inter Miami CF (joined 2020), […]
It’s been a roller coaster of emotions for Austin FC fans so far in the 2023 season. Player injuries, poor play, and questionable decisions steered the club near the bottom of the Western Conference standings midway through the season. The club has since turned a corner, winning 4 of its last 6 league matches. To […]
Austin visited BC Place and couldn’t find points as they drop a 2-1 result. We knew it would be hard without Dani Pereira, and with the recent road results, this didn’t feel like a must-win. Dani was out due to yellow card accumulation; he will return against Sporting Kansas City on Saturday. He is very […]

It was a special day on Monday at Q2 Stadium when CEO and majority owner Anthony Precourt introduced new Austin FC Sporting Director Rodolfo Borrell. We were Livin’ the Verde Dream™️ on this momentous occasion, parking in the player’s lot, casually saying ‘hi’ in the hallway to Jon Gallagher while making our way to the […]
The dictionary defines luck as At face value, Goal Differential minus Expected Goal Differential is a statistical representation of how far above or below a team’s actual results are compared to modeled expectations. A big talking point over the offseason was whether Austin would be able to maintain the significant overperformance of their xG, and […]
Austin hit rock bottom after they lost in a 4-1 route in Kansas City. Sporting KC has been a bottom-table team for much of this season, so for Austin to not be able to compete speaks volumes. Captain Sebastian Driussi started for the first time in over a month. Gyasi Zardes returned to the Starting […]
12 points from 4 matches. That’s the max available to take home the 3rd edition of the Copa Tejas. The trophy that defines the best team in Texas has such a short history because of the absolute pettiness of Dynamo and Frisco fans — they wouldn’t let the new kids have access to the trophy they’ve been […]
Austin FC as a franchise may be new to the playoffs, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have any knockout experience. A number of Austin signings – particularly those made in this offseason – bring with them a wealth of playoff minutes. In fact, thanks to those additions, the Verde & Black actually have more […]
