I wrote about bonus games and I tracked down Andrew Wiebe for a quote about bonus games. (Also, per the definition, I don't know that we can claim Saturday's Austin FC match against the Red Bulls as a bonus game) verdeallday.com/are-bonus-ga...

On the cusp of the halfway point of the MLS season, it's time to start thinking about the Austin-hosted All-Star match verdeallday.com/should-you-i...

Could the answer to the @austinfootballclub.bsky.social scoring woes lie with Ted Lasso? verdeallday.com/morning-afte...

Žan Kolmanič is happier than Nico Estévez about the respectable road draw against @mnufc.com, but @austinfootballclub.bsky.social still needs to score goals ... here's what they're saying about that.

We heard from Robert Taylor, who had nice things to say about his new team (and relayed some nice things said from a former player) Also, updates on Dani Pereira and Mikkel Desler's injuries: verdeallday.com/match-previe...

Myrto Uzuni only has one goal so far this season for #AustinFC; we dig into that a little more here: verdeallday.com/curious-case...

We love talking to fellow soccer writers ahead of #AustinFC matches, and exchanged ?s with our @bayoucitysoccer.net friends ahead of tonight's Copa Tejas match in Houston. (Also, we captioned this photo "do you have a, do you have a, do you have an Ondrej Lingr") verdeallday.com/foreign-exch...

Field tilt's a metric that can help you gauge dominance in a soccer match ... but this is 2025 @austinfootballclub.bsky.social we're talking about verdeallday.com/austin-fc-20...

Brandon Vázquez and Myrto Uzuni still want to score more goals (but the one was enough yesterday): verdeallday.com/post-match-q...

Mere hours after we published this speculating Riley Thomas might be signed to a first-team contract, lo and behold: verdeallday.com/match-previe...

Good news: Seven of the nine West teams who were in the playoff places after seven matches the last two seasons made the playoffs Bad news: The team in that spot the prior two years who eventually fell out of a playoff spot was guess who Why 2025 could change that verdeallday.com/austin-fc-pl...

Nico Estevez gets philosophical, Jon Gallagher uses an analogy, and Myrto Uzuni uses the word "painful" A look at the first #AustinFC draw of 2025: verdeallday.com/morning-afte...

Thanks to @stumptownfooty.bsky.social for answering our questions about the Timbers ahead of tonight's #AustinFC match: verdeallday.com/foreign-exch...

Happy Match Day! Ahead of the 6:45 pm (?!) kickoff for #AustinFC, here's some inside info as to how Verde's defending (and what one of their best defenders feel they still need to work on): verdeallday.com/match-previe...

So, #AustinFC has spent an ABSURD amount of minutes defending a one-goal lead this season. But they've been able to do it in four different matches so far. verdeallday.com/a-successful...

It's not just a team making good progress through the early part of the season ... #AustinFC (starting up in just a little over an hour) is developing an identity: verdeallday.com/match-previe...

We got some intel on the next #AustinFC opponent, #StLouisCitySC, thanks to @hornekerjustin.bsky.social verdeallday.com/foreign-exch...

It's probably fine: verdeallday.com/match-previe...

Nico Estévez says that #AustinFC isn't quite where #LAFC is yet ... but it's a road win in the teams' only regular-season LA meeting this season. If you haven't noticed, Owen Wolff's got a lot to do with Verde's early-season success: verdeallday.com/morning-afte...
