Feel very bad for Austin FC’s fanbase. They must constantly watch other teams play with more verve, intensity, speed & skill. Little cohesion. No consequences.
When will Austin actually start to grow as a football club to reflect their vibrant city?
6 yrs in & still waiting….

@GlennDavisSoc If he failed to make soccer work in Houston in 1984 it's not because of any deficiency in his leadership. It's because by 1984 the American people had turned against the sport of soccer. The mid to late 1980s were dark years for the sport in America.

@GuillemBalague @60Minutes @CBS 60 Minutes did profiles of both Freddy Adu and Tim Howard. Please learn about the history of the program before writing something like this:
"He is only the fourth player ever to be in the iconic @CBS TV show"

@jason1551 @MLSMoves Thank you for writing this Jason.

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government?

That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.

@SohumJShah Sorry for the delay in responding. I don't check X very much these days, and I just saw your post. I can burn a couple of matches for you. It's best to email me: [email protected]

Regarding declining interest in Leagues Cup, Steve notes "this summer’s calendar of marquee soccer was packed to the saturation point." With Euros, Copa & Olympics, wouldn't it be better to do Leagues Cup every other year rather than every year?

[SoccerAmerica @socceramerica]

Without the Messi-related hype and things like boffo shirt sales to trumpet, it’s been easier for observers to note an abundance of empty seats across the MLS venues where this second @LeaguesCup has played out.

Biggest US game of the cycle and we are watching from a drone floating just off the second Ring of Uranus. If you love this team and suffer from Vertigo, you are going to face a long, long night

@GoodSeatsStill @naslofficial @ProfBank The NASL has been out of business for at least 7 years, right? So who is funding the lawyers for their side?

@AustinRiseFC @AOAustin I wish you guys could play in a decent stadium. House Park is a decrepit facility that isn't even good enough for a high school team.

This is one of those posts—yes, it's about the student protests—where I'm trying to be all context-y and nuanced-y so I'll just point you to it rather than trying to summarize.
