October 30, 20223 yr Hell of a season, boys. Excited to watch these guys in the champions league. We have a good manager and a lot of nice pieces. I wish Claudio didn't sign that spare and I wish Josh got it right a bit more often than he did but that was a near 180 from last season. Oh I also wish this league employed something even approaching competent refereeing but cest la vie. I'm gonna go watch Sam play the team formerly known as the Redskins.

October 30, 20223 yr good season. build on itThis. Made the final four. Played hard, maybe a good degree above their inherent skill level. It was fun as hell to watch and be part of as a fan.Tickets renewed. For next season….Listos….
October 30, 20223 yr Ring with another blind bicycle kick clearance that just turns the ball over. Sigh.
October 30, 20223 yr One more comment on the foul -- my kid played for the same club @BrickHorn's kids play in. Way high up in central Texas. He still asserts the most painful fouls are when you get stepped on. I never played, so I'll defer to his viewpoint, but I have seen a lot of ankle/ankle hits where a guy pops up. Get stomped? That's another level of pain.

October 30, 20223 yr Sucks to go out like this, but the turnaround from bottom of the table to final 4 is more than I hoped for. I just hope we can do something to address our defensive issues for next year and maybe rethink the right side of our attack. Oh cool let's review this 4th goal for offsides because that fucking matters.
October 31, 20223 yr I'm not too sad, this was a bunch that played hard more often than not, and found themselves alive a lot longer than most expected. Today was disappointing, and they definitely seemed to be way too small and soft for what LAFC had to offer, but hopefully we get better after this offseason.

October 31, 20223 yr Author I had to do some reading about the CCL format and its not group stages anymore, but a home & home with the aggregate winner advancing. I mean, cool if you advance past the first round, otherwise, kinda meh if you get bounced in round 1.
October 31, 20223 yr Nice season for Austin F.C. Good showing by the away support yesterday as well. Hope everyone who made it had a good game day experience – I didn't see anything untoward from the LA fans so hopefully that was the case for all visiting fans. We had pretty good seats and got to watch Chiellini tussle with Djitte up close. Gonna have to make it to Austin next year for an away match.

It was a really, really fun season, especially just in our second year. Tough way to end it, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Definitely looking forward to next year.

November 8, 20223 yr Normally, I'd put the goalie back in but then I thought, "When am I ever gonna back it back to Haiti?" /badideakits Edited November 8, 20223 yr by YGIFS
November 8, 20223 yr Wait wait wait... There are teams from fucking Haiti in the CCL? CONCACAF really is something else. Oh my God they're like a semi-pro team. https://www.transfermarkt.us/violette-athletic-club/startseite/verein/14182 Edited November 8, 20223 yr by ztejas

November 9, 20223 yr Wtf can we say if someone offers over 12 mill? He seems to enjoy his club and teammates, can we keep him happy for another year at least?

In a vacuum selling him for 15 would be better than keeping him around. However I'm not sure I trust us to spend that money wisely after the Rigoni shit.
November 17, 20223 yr is that good or bad? I barely understand MLB waivers and I've been a faithful baseball parishioner for 40 years.
November 18, 20223 yr It's a good waiver pick. Highly regarded talent a few years ago who hasn't progressed a ton. Not a lot of risk with some upside. Same as this guy, who is probably a more exciting prospect but also spells the end of Felipe in Austin. https://www.austinfc.com/news/austin-fc-acquires-midfielder-sofiane-djeffal
November 19, 20223 yr https://www.kxan.com/sports-general/austin-fc/mls-players-name-q2-stadium-their-favorite-place-to-play-in-survey/ The MLS Players Association released its 2022 “Players Voices Poll,” and players around the league think Austin FC’s home stadium has the best playing surface and it’s their preferred place to play. Q2 Stadium has the longest sellout streak in MLS with 36 matches and an average attendance of 20,738, so the electric atmosphere in Austin resonates with players across the league. Players around MLS also think highly of Austin FC goalkeeper Brad Stuver, naming him the most when answering the question, “Which MLS player is the most impactful in supporting their community?” for the second consecutive year. MLS players also think Austin FC’s Diego Fagunez is one of the league’s most underrated players, and if players could choose to play for another team, Austin FC was a top choice across the league. Sebastian Driussi was the second choice for the question, “Who would you give league MVP to?”

November 22, 20223 yr Author is ATXFC about to sign a fuckin washed up, buttertoes Zardes? Fuckssakes.
November 23, 20223 yr Austin had the highest TV rating of any market in the country for G1 against Wales. Dallas (assuming DFW) was 3rd.
December 6, 20223 yr If you're interested in Academy players, we covered a half dozen or so of the top prospects this week. https://www.moontowersoccer.com/top-academy-prospects-driussi-happy-in-austin-listener-questions-diegos-contract-and-more/
December 8, 20223 yr I'm glad to hear about Jimenez. He's solid off the bench, and without him, Austin would have to search for some additional depth. I'd much rather they look for another strong center back.
