Sounds like the plot of a Netflix romantic comedy.

You’ve probably heard that the MLS Board of Governors is meeting this week to discuss, among other things, a move to the “European” schedule. My understanding is that there’s no way that happens in 2026, but there’s a very real possibility that it could happen in 2027.

Watching Arsenal - Sunderland rn and you know what makes the sport 10x more boring than set piece goals and long throw ins? Teams parking the bus.

Which is also fine if... he'd then just be honest about it and welcome the feedback and perspective from the local sickos!

And then also, like clockwork, he QTs fans to his followers (who are guaranteed to know even less about our utterly unwatchable team) to try to make them look crazy, and of course does so by cherry-picking his correct takes and forgetting the wrong or ill-informed ones.

Most Austin fans aren't really concerned around negative press or opinions on the team, the reason they are obnoxious and noisy on social media is because the negativity is in the wrong places and ill-informed! We just want you to be down about the right things.

In other words, it is blatantly obvious the exact game that the take on the player was built from, because it was actually an outlier performance or tactical setup. Most fans here actually have a lot of respect for Doyle's analysis and game knowledge... when it's clear he's really paying attention.

FWIW, Austin fans are like this is because there have been multiple cases where Doyle made incorrect, broad generalizations about a player based on 1 or 2 specific examples that only came up in one specific game. And when called out about it he's always responded like this:

Followed closely by Uzuni lining up for a PK.

Some friends have reminded me that his transfer fee likely excludes him from being TAM-buyout eligible ☹️

Crazy to see a guy that athletically superior playing against other pro athletes.

That would be a best case scenario for sure — Bukari is a good TAM player. Not a DP.

The most nightmare scenario any Austin FC fan could have possibly envisaged last night was Son Heung-min 1-on-1 with Ilie Sanchez inside the box.

Just to be clear the result last night is t really what’s informing my critique — I’ve been down on the build for a long time now. Pretty much as soon as it became apparent that Uzuni could not play a second striker or LW.

At $30 million in spend there’s no reason our front line shouldn’t have been in the convo for the class of the west. Instead we got three guys on radically different wavelengths and no 10 to connect them. Signing 2 DPs who play the same position made no sense at all.

I think he inarguably improved the team with just about every signing at the individual level. But the build itself across the player profiles and his head coach hire was just atrocious.

Unassailable upstate NY street cred for immediately recognizing this.

“Let Rodo cook!”

Rodo:

An actual left winger and an actual 10 and Uzuni scores 2X as many goals this year. But to get a guy at an elite level at one of those positions… we need an extra DP slot available.

Uzuni has generally been more a victim of Borrell’s terrible roster built than anything else. But the best thing this team could do in the offseason is move on from him and find a buyer.

Absolutely ridiculous that our best defender cannot play 90 minutes in a playoff match.

Just need three more penalties to win boys.

That’s really unfair to Alex Ring.

Nothing personal but I do hope everyone here to watch Son play has a very bad night.

Not that this game is being particularly well refereed anyway but….

Across 80 minutes so far, I’ve seen about 10 fouls in the box that Tori Penso would have called as a penalty in the Open Cup final.

Honestly… better than I expected. I was prepared for worse performance.

Honestly, just about exactly what I expected from that game.

Because of this dumb MLS playoff format Austin has no reason to not absolutely go for it the final 10 minutes. Additional goals mean nothing really.

hahahaha Nico is devouring souls tonight.

BHI 2025 season summary.
