Followed closely by Uzuni lining up for a PK.

While the results were slightly below my expectations for Austin FC it was a fun year of games at Q2, including the all star game and a cup final. It’s a year to remember, but given the spend, 6th with a round 1 playoff exit and cup final loss seems slightly disappointing. Feeling hopeful for 26 tho

Let’s go Austin FC!!!

I hope we play LAFC in the playoffs for two reasons. One. I want to watch Son at Q2. But more importantly I don’t want Austin to duck the team playing the best soccer in the west right now because there might be an easier opponent. To be the best you gotta beat the best.

Likes: Owen’s record setting 6th game winning goal.
Zan’s golden left foot
Djordjevic solid play (with one exception)

Disliked: lack of shots

Question for the Bluesky Austin FC sickos. Who do you want to play in the MLS playoffs and why? San Diego, LA or Minnesota? Our 6 spot is locked but decision day is a big one for the verde and black.

Liked the effort. The number of chances created. They fought hard to the end.

Disliked: Final touches falling short. Also, the cup final seemed to bring out casual fans that were there to get trashed. The ref.

The boys fought hard and can hold their heads high.

My eyes are on Oct 1st and the cup, but I can’t help but guess at the final standings in the MLS playoff race. A win in the LAFC make up game could be the difference between us playing Minnesota or the wrecking ball that LAFC has turned into. It’s gonna be a fun finish to the season #austinfc

Other than than the Verde and Black… yes. πŸ˜‰ If we can keep a game tied until the final minute all we gotta do is wait for CJ to make some Super Sub magic.

Still riding high from the Austin FC semifinal win last night. After the Dallas loss it was great to see the effort and desire the team came with. I really think Nico put on a masterclass. From the starting lineup, tactics, and the subs.

Loved the Grit!
Loved that CJ was the hero again!
Loved the effort to the very end
Loved Nico’s coaching.
Love that we’re hosting a final in two weeks!

Wow!!! What an effort by Austin FC! Great goal by CJ and great coaching by Nico.

I just said… β€œblow the whistle!” when Wolff served up Bukari with a great ball over the top. Austin FC is one half from a US Open Cup final!

Big day for Austin FC! Verde! Listos!

That would align with how long it typically takes Nico to sub in a game. πŸ˜‰

Austin FC sickos, do you think Nico will rotate the lineup against Dallas at all to prioritize the US Open Cup? I don’t think i remember any of the pods discussing that this week @thenorthendpodcast.com @moontowersoccer.bsky.social @emergencypodcast.bsky.social

Not sure but they put him on the injured list as a precaution on the Tuesday Albanian friendly.

I’m very curious to see if Nico has some surprises for the Austin FC lineup this weekend. Uzuni could be questionable, and our other international players are probably all traveling today. Just wondering if the young guns that showed up against KC get a little love in the Dallas match.

10.09.2025 17:56 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Austin FC’s recent form should build confidence for the US Open Cup semifinals. I really want to see a cup final at Q2 this year.

08.09.2025 11:06 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah, I loved how happy they were for him. I am too! He’s a hard worker.

I think I’d like the western division standings to stay as they are. It’d be interesting for Austin FC to play Minnesota 6 times in one season but I think I’d rather play the Whitecaps in the playoffs. I don’t think they are as tough as they were to begin the season. Thoughts?

Liked a comeback win. Mateja going 90 and his downfield vision. Wolff showing he’s one of the best young players in the MLS. Loved CJ’s energy and so happy for him getting his first MLS goal. Stu’s two big saves!
Didn’t like the way we came out in the second half but the subs changed the game

08.09.2025 01:30 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

So happy for CJ! Stu big money save at the end! Huge (1st comeback) win and the subs brought a massive spark to a lackluster start it the second half. Oh yeah, Mr. Wolff…. how about that 1st touch between two center backs and then threads the needle for a golazo. #austinfc.

Can’t wait to see what Nico puts together for a lineup.

I like like the verde and black’s chances on the road this Sunday. KC has given up 15 goals in their last 5. That should help our heavily rotated squad find a goal. Predict 1-0 Austin FC win and Stu gets another clean sheet.
