    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

I've missed seeing 3 games so far this year...

 

@ RSL

@ Seattle

Last night 

 

I'm sorry for the rest of them dudes and dudettes. 

Hammered as hell at a bar in old town Pasadena. Definitely not it and people who have time for that shit are the biggest losers and dorks

I am a big fan and have invested a lot in Austin FC.  That said, it's probably like the 5th or 6th most popular sport and a guy like Cascante can walk around any major city, probably even Austin, without getting noticed.  I.e. not exactly a celebrity, although I am a fan.  

The fact that there are douchebags that take the time to attack unknown (to general public) MLS defenders on social media to the point that the club has to make a statement like this fucking makes me ragey as hell because it just means that lots and lots of players are putting up with the shit of lots and lots of assholes on the daily.  I get that it is obvious, but doesn't make me any less ragey.  

I am presuming this was a random internet asshole and not someone Julio knew of course, but either way.  Fucking assholes, man.  Hang in there, Julio. 

Again. Driussi is sick.  And Gyasi did his job.  I’ll say it….  Zardes is finding his legs/head.  

I know Keller needs minutes if we are going to keep him but he looked terrified out there. Slow decision making and nearly created a scoring opportunity for Houston with an ill advised pass across the middle. Luckily, he wasn’t really called upon to do much. He was in a bad position in the box once but Houston couldn’t take advantage of it. If he gets minutes in game that’s close, he’s gonna be a major liability again.

I think next week is Miami’s first home game since Messi announcement, right?  Wonder if he will be in the crowd and if they’ll have hired that Argentine manager yet.   Should be pretty high profile for our guys.

Hope the Austin players don't let it go to their heads. I mean, Inter had that friendly against Barcelona, I don't think any game in the MLS has ever been bigger, so they are going to be ready for a ho hum game against a plain old MLS squad.

I hope they are looking for another CB or two during the mid-season transfer window.  Rado is headed back to Europe and KK is likely to be getting a bunch of minutes.

We should purchase Rado if he is willing but I think this is like our baseball players playing winter league.

I'm not holding out much hope.  I'm not sure he and his family wanted to stay here.  I'm not sure that his Belgium team wants to sell him.  I'm also not sure that we would have an international spot for him at this point.  Wolff said that "we've got some plates spinning . . . " when asked about a replacement during the transfer window.  Let's just hope they can pull something off.

I presumed as much.  But I haven’t seen Stuver get as pumped for CB plays as he did for 3 or 4 of Rado’s clears, etc. 

If Busquets, after Chiellini, comes to MLS that starts opening the door for other lesser known solid guys in their low 30s.  Is Azpilicueta REALLY going to Italy?

He gone. Wolff confirmed it in the press conference and he posted a thank you note on Instagram.

Hahahaha

Look, I love international competition and Austin FC...but I'm not on the same level as y'all.  Somebody please explain to me what this means like we're on NHL ice.

This is my layman's take.  We've needed a Sporting Director since Claudio Reyna has been effectively gone since December.  Up and until this point, Precourt has focused much the personnel with USMNT and MLS pedigree.  This step opens the club to a broader knowledge base and significant European/Premier League connections.

good.  we need help in our talent development program in the worst way and this is an absolute home run hire.  

New sporting director + Sean Rubio to deal with all the MLS weirdness is dynamite for us.

I'm so glad our colors are verde and black. There are some ugly ass colors out there.

Cascante with the great effort. Don't know how that one got on frame... tight angle.

Really poor start so far aside from the Cascante header. Shitty passes, poor decisions by Driussi and Fagundez off the dribble. Good thing they are hapless in the attacking 3rd. 

Driussi with a dirty pass that Diego wasn't able to finish... but it was a cheeky little move.

Robbie Robertson is challenging Zardes for ineptness with the ball at his feet in/near the box.

He’s terrible. He’s a chance-killer. Thank goodness.

Stuver certainly earned his match pay in the last few minutes of the first half.

Stu keeping us in it. I can't imagine a good reason for both Ring and Cascante to be so far on the left side chasing.

That had to be a miscommunication, just terribly obvious as soon as they got sucked in where the ball was about to go. 

Welp. That was coming, I think after seeing the end of the first half.. barely 2 minutes into the 2nd.
