  1. He flew in from Russia yesterday so it could be several factors. Pretty sure there’s a 5 day quarantine requirement. Also may be visa/paperwork issues which is what’s still holding up Djitte.

    @skittlebrau when do we think Driussi should starts?

    Maybe Houston. If not, then Frisco. Would be badass to see him score his first goal in front of 1000 traveling Austin FC fans at Toyota Park.

    I am so fired up right now ... I'm going to Saturday's match at Q2.  It'll be my first experience in the stadium and I can't wait!  

    Minor humblebrag, but we'll be in the Q2 Field Club for food/adult beverages beforehand and row 4 for our seats.  Anyone have experience with this club and any tips?

    My company has seats there, but I haven’t been in them yet. The one thing they’ve talked about is you can order food/booze delivered to your seats but it’s the standard fare (popcorn, nachos, etc). You get a lot better options in the club itself.

    You can also watch the postgame press conferences from the club with a beer in hand because the media room is right there. That would be a cool thing to watch if we win.

  4. Watched a fair amount of Driussi video and I’m excited. He’s going to instantly be our best player. And free some others up to play their natural positions.

    Do you do one of those podcasts?

    Yep. Moontower Soccer. And contribute a bit to The Striker Texas.

  6. As a member of the Austin soccer media, I would like to express my professional opinion on last night - 

     

    THAT WAS FUCKING AWFUL

    Why the fuck is this game at 8:30 local time? What is this, the college football MNC game? 

    8:48 kick, yo. Moved it from Saturday to make it a National TV game.

    I realize I’m being melodramatic. Just disappointed there doesn’t appear to be much urgency in the front office. Hope they’re just good at keeping secrets. 

    That's the big question - How much do we trust Claudio's words? If we sign two more guys during this window, it will be completely consistent with what he's said all along about the roster build. If we don't sign anyone, then we have a low rent squad.

    There are a lot of factors that come with bringing a player into camp - player, agent, family, buying team, selling team, etc. Sean Rubio's said that he's more surprised that any deals happen than any time one falls through. THAT SAID, there should be several deals in the works right now, with a couple to come through soon.

    As far as keeping secrets, Cecilio and Pochettino were telegraphed. Djitte and Kolmanic came out of nowhere. So we've done a little of both.

  9. Josh was noncommittal as shit about everyone else on the presser today, too. I’m more worried about Pereira/Gallagher than Djitte at this point.

    Luckily, Seattle has 12 healthy, eligible senior players. They’re worse off than we are on that front. Added some USL guys on an emergency basis just to field a squad.

  10. If I didn't live in District 6, I would find all this much funnier.

     

    As far as the campaign ammo, no reporter was interested in touching it and also it had a high potential of blowing up. "Former lost soul found Jesus and the Republican Party and became an upstanding member of society" appeals to a certain group.

    Wtf?

    they have guys with 3 digit numbers?

    Liga MX requires all players all the way through the system, including the youth, to have unique numbers. If you’re not part of the first team then you get a three digit number.

    If I was a city council member, I would probably tweet out restaurants I'd like to get a free meal out (I'm not saying she is doing that).

     

    Seems like she's in the bar of Reale's (in the same parking lot) every time I pick up food to go from that place. Makes me want to reconsider our to-go choices.

    most of all we're lacking finishing quality.

    Never seen a team so committed to making the wrong decisions. Shoot when we should pass and pass when we should shoot, other than Portland and Colorado.

    Do you think we'll see the new signing vs Tigres?

    I think he'll play some minutes. Also, we pretty much have NO OTHER OPTIONS.

    We don't even have enough healthy midfielders to give guys like Diego and Cecilio much of a rest.
