Same on android.  Just guessing, but I think they want you to press the preview link.

I'm willing to believe it's simply lousy, stupid design. There's other UI elements I think suck.

Six goals in 2 road games.  I really like BV and how he plays but perhaps rest of team struggles with a 9 like that.  They seem to have unlocked something.  

Yeah playing LA Galaxy and DC United will do that, but I'm not complaining.

Really important 5 games coming up vs Houston, vs Dallas, @ Montreal, @ Kansas City, @ Dallas

All of those games are winnable with a point expectation in pretty much all of them. Playoffs are within sight if they continue the roll.

The nice thing about it is that out of the remaining 12 matches, only Seattle and LAFC are ahead of us in the table and both of those games are at Q2.  We are sitting at 7th right now with at least a game in hand against everyone buy LAFC.

Struggled to finish a lesser opponent off again.  In total control until the (bullshit) VAR PK call, then we were on the back foot for the rest of the game. Houston had 2-3 more great chances as well. 

I don't think we did much after Rubio and Sanchez were subbed out.  

Bukari was absolute magic on the second goal and should have finished one himself in the second half. Biro had a hell of a game as well.

I went to the game Saturday through the chairity of @Brisketexan, and I was amazed by how bad the game presentation is.  They don't run any video throughout the game of the play.  For probably a quarter of the game, the videoboard is just showing a big sign that "Austin FC provides closed captioning . . . ."  Great.  But nobody is saying anything during play.  So what does anybody care of there is closed captioning?

The replays weren't any better.  There were only a couple replays of each goal (and of the second goal, the replay came only after the ball had been back in play for about five minutes).  No replays of any fouls.  So I really couldn't tell you whether the PK call was bullshit.

If I had any interest in what was actually happening on the pitch, I'd have been vastly better off at home.

Fortunately, I had minimal interest--I was there to hang out with Brisket and my son.  And so from that perspective, it was a successful evening.

That is a change from the usual approach - they usually do show the run of play (which is handy for us, as our seats are at one end of the stadium, so if we want a good depth-perception view of what's happening at the other end, we can check the screen).  There was MUCH discussion on the Reddit thread about the game about this change.  Lots of bitching, don't know if there was something wrong, or if this is the way they're going to do it from now on.  If it's the second, that's a shitty choice.

And on the PK....shit, they weren't going to find the footage of that "foul" anyway.  It was some light contact that had happened FOUR MINUTES before they stopped play and decided to check.  And then the ref spent EIGHT MINUTES looking to figure out if the foul was "clear and obvious."  Dude.  If it take you 8 mins to figure it out, it ain't clear and obvious.  Really poorly officiated match.  I went home and went through the live broadcast replay, and even on the live broadcast, it took them several minutes to figure out what was going on.
