Before last year, when they brought in FInaly, I never thought I'd like him as much as I do, but he sure feels like the soul of this team now. Especially with a rough year on offense, he just works, and finds a way (when other, much more expensive options that won't be named but are definitely from Argentina, can't).

    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

Looks like Nick Lima is gone and I am not upset about it.

Oh hey, I broke that Lima news. Also hearing the club could be putting out non-Lima news today. Probably also not the roster option news we’ve been waiting for.

Sources: The New England Revolution has agreed a deal to acquire right back Nick Lima from Austin FC for around $275k GAM.Deal cannot be processed until MLS roster freeze ends on December 11.Reporting with @PaulTenorio https://t.co/EZaIoYYs24

CURRENT AUSTIN FC ROSTER (19)

GOALKEEPERS (3): Matt Bersano, Damian Las, Brad Stuver

DEFENDERS (6): Julio Cascante, Jon Gallagher, Matt Hedges, Žan Kolmanič, Jhohan Romaña (loan), Leo Väisänen

MIDFIELDERS (8): Sebastián Driussi, Ethan Finlay, CJ Fodrey, Daniel Pereira, Emiliano Rigoni, Alex Ring, Jhojan Valencia, Owen Wolff

FORWARDS (2): Moussa Djitté (loan), Gyasi Zardes

 

Austin has a bunch of spaces to fill.  Clearly two forwards and two outside backs.  I think we need at least one more center back and two outside midfielders.  A player to backup Seba at the 10 would be helpful as well - Ring and Wolff can play there in a pinch, but have not proved to be very effective at it.

I wonder how many spots we fill in the coming window.  Does Rodo get just enough to get to the summer and then sign some players from Europe?

Returning to the VERDE & Black. 🌳 Austin FC exercise contract option for defender @Hector__J16!

Why did we extend that dude when he basically got no time this year when our defense barely had a pulse? I hear he’s a great locker room guy but we just need better players across the board. This makes no sense to me.

He's cheap, he's a decent player, and the club's priorities are elsewhere right now. He'll be just as effective on the bench next year as he was this year and he can play some minutes if needed.

Is there a modeling agency of future serial killers in MLS kits that I'm just now finding out about?  The hard way.

Wow didn't expect us to get any Copa games. Now I'm wondering how they pick the games. Seeded teams like the WC and a draw? No way we get US, Mexico, Argentina, or Brazil, right?

One of the most prestigious national team tournaments in the world comes to Austin. 🌳 @Q2stadium has been selected to host two CONMEBOL @CopaAmerica 2024 group stage matches on Sunday, June 30 and Tuesday, July 2! Stay tuned for ticket information.

The re entry draft is happening now and we have first pick. I hope we don't take chicharito.

The schedule is out and its terrible for Texans wanting to get away in the summer. June 15 @ Colorado is cool but the weather in Austin usually isn't abysmal then. Minnesota on June 22 is decent but still in June and Minneapolis is just a "sure, fine" location. Or is it better as a destination @Al_4_ISU?  

 

July/August are truly worst case right now with games in Austin and Dallas (Frisco) only right now with a trip to Nashville way out on August 24th when all my traveling buddies will have started teaching/coaching by then. Maybe with our terrible season we won't host in the Leagues Cup this year and instead go somewhere cool like Portland or Mexico City.

Depends on what you're looking for.  Minneapolis has lots of great places to eat and drink.  If you're traveling to go a soccer game for a weekend, I'd assume that's all you're really looking for in a destination, right?

If you're looking for a lengthier type thing, that is a really nice time of year to get up into the north woods, but that's gonna be a 2 hour drive one way from Minneapolis/St Paul.

Minneapolis in June can be hotter than you likely expect (100 degrees wouldn't shock anyone), but will almost certainly be cooler than Texas.

We did KC last year in late June for a game and that weekend was about food, drink, WW1 Museum, CBK Hall of Fame, and some sports gambling. I'm sure there can be a similar type schedule in Minneapolis for a weekend?

Oh, for sure.  There's a really good Minneapolis thread in this forum.  I've given my general recs in there.  Not sure of anything I'd add.  If the Twins are at home that weekend and it doesn't conflict with the match, you should absolutely go.  Target Field is beautiful.

Black Hart of St Paul is by far the coolest and friendliest supporters bar in the league for away fans. Trip is worth it just for that.

#7237

The SGs are sending out a survey this week to see which places people want for the “big” away trips. Can’t say enough how fun it is to do those with big groups.

#7238

So Oct. 19th in Austin should be really easy to get an Uber.  Georgia football at DKR, USGP at COTA, and regular season home finale for La Verde at Q2.  Hey, maybe that new train will be ready by then.

Had heard from a few sources that Austin FC were targeting Colombia international forward Miguel Borja as a new signing. @GerGarciaGrova reports Austin bid $3.5m for the River Plate striker.Would be a big signing for ATX if they can get it done. https://t.co/MLqEllYaJH

Does our FO know they're allowed to spend money on defenders?

Nope. Only on washed up strikers past their prime. AKA, “the Zardes rule.”

From what I understand, perhaps the best long-term talent on our roster is Las…and we’re going to find a way to give him up for $50 and a bag of used soccer balls, aren’t we?

So Klopp is burned out from coaching in Europe? I wonder if there's a league where he could coach with less stress. Maybe there's a team in that league that is in a region with many German settlers. One with a Wienerschnitzel across the street from the stadium. I'm just saying, Klopp would look good in verde.
