    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

Well…we got fucking soaked (basic rain jackets are no match for getting poured on for two hours). First match in a tropical storm, I guess.
Shit possession. Stupid turnovers. Driussi looks like shit, and it’s time people accepted that. He made multiple boneheaded touches, waited on the ball, letting it get intercepted, and other stupid shit.
There’s not really a bright spot on this team. Obrian is fast, I guess. But he doesn’t have great touches.
Blechh.

Up 1-0 and MN is down a man and we go into protect the lead mode in the first half. Wolff is such a fucking pussy.

We will find a way to lose this game.

Good thing we were gifted that goal. Never had another shot on goal or any real attempt to score.

I'll take 3 points on the road when our depth has us playing Gyasi Zardes for 90 minutes.

I suspect he's coming in to replace Matt Hedges who's contract ends at the end of 2024 (although there is an option for 2025).  I hope we pick-up the 2025 option on Hines-Ike since he's been playing well.

This team is so boring to watch. A dud coach and no stars. EXCEPTIONALLY tough after watching Euros/Copa all week

I mean, other than the fact that they can’t distribute well, can’t maintain possession, can’t close on the few opportunities they get, have a keeper who periodically gets lackadaisical as fuck….other than that…yeah, they don’t really have anything other than that.
It’s really hard to watch this team. As my wife just said “I like my team…but they just aren’t good.”
Oh well, at least we have the USMNT…right?

What's the story on moussa djitte leaving?

His contract was up at the end of the season.  His loan was up now so he'd be coming back.  I suspect Borrell didn't want to fill up that last international spot with Djitte - hopefully keeping it open for a DP level striker (one can dream).

Oh look the game finally started. 

Oh look we gave up and easy goal in the 5th minute. 

Oh look I have better things to do than watch this team. 

Fantastic finish by Zardes, Wolff deserves a ton of credit for creating that. 

Finally looks like we're cooking a bit up front.

Not a strong showing, but the Sounder keeper had two ridiculous left hand saves to keep headers from Driussi and Fodrey out.  Hines Ike got beat twice by Morris and got two yellows to show for it. Pareira didn't look ready for action after the Copa break. 

Sucks to give away 3 at home to a team we are trying to pass on the playoff hunt. 

Hines is not a smart defender. One Seattle chance he ran back head down past the other 2 defenders to keep Seattle on side. Just dumb. First yellow was because he had a bone headed giveaway. Bleh. The team looks uninterested and uninspired.

Maybe you can lure Wayne Rooney back across the pond

Jesus fire Wolff just like Berholderbthe guy has no grasp of respect from the team. That’s ridiculous 

Driussi looks like he is point shaving tonight.  
 


Can we all finally agree that Driussi is not just an asset, but a liability this year? Horrible passes. Lot of quit in him. Missed PKs. And ZERO leadership on the field. We don’t have a captain on the pitch.
STUVER
 
or not lol

FFS. And then Julio with the stupid red (although Dallas player was faking completely when he went down).

Wait…it gets even better…Driussi fucked up and got the red. Jesus, he’s terrible right now.

So that was a punch in the face?  Looked more like he was getting his arm in to break it up. Either way, this team can't be worse without him. 

On Southwest side of field, Byrne was just absolutely manhandling Obrien all half.  Not in an illegal way. Dude just sonned Obrien all half.  
 

I like what we have coming off the bench. 4-2 Austin.  Who am I kidding.  2-1 Charlotte on a 92’ minute Hines-Ike own goal.  

Last night I stayed home to watch the WNBA All-Star game and it was so much better. Some observations as a season ticket holder:


1) This team sucks. Not just the record, but the way the team plays is boring and chickenshit It wasn't boring for the first half of the second season. That's literally the only extended stretch where this franchise has been fun to root for. Even when they win, it's boring with very few exceptions. 
2) When I watch the team play, I feel back for the players. Brad Stuver in particular makes me sad. I didn't like that they let Diego Fagundez go, but at least he gets to play for a good team. 
3) I can't sell my tickets, even when I try to sell them at rock bottom prices. When I invite business associates or family or friends to the games, they turn me down. 
4) My older daughter loves going to games. She hates sports, but she likes branding and events. She says AustinFC is more of a merch brand and vibes event with its own soccer team. 
5) I watched last night's game today. Not sure why I did, it was just more of the same. 

I really want this franchise to be great. I have renewed my seats. Not sure I feel good about it.

Huh. I never have a hard time moving seats. I sell for the $40-50 range, and they go. And we also almost always get takers when we offer to take friends with us.

That said, the “kill every attack/breakaway with backwards passes” approach is maddening, I agree.

I am excited by some of the new talent, and Gallagher and Kolmanic added a bell of a spark when they got on the pitch together last night. More of that, please.

Agreed with that, but I am convinced that the most important change they could make is the coach. It's OK to struggle. It's not OK to be boring.

As you know, I'm unpleasant to be around. 

“It’s ok to struggle. It’s not ok to be boring?”

Dude. Get out of my bedroom.

It’s another great day to be #WolffOut. Banner also reminded me of the good old days at Shaggy.

Berhalter is tanned, rested and ready.
