Now that Austin FC has made the playoffs, the goal should be to get results to get out of the 8-9 play-in game.

In a worst case scenario of Austin losing both of its remaining games, three of the teams currently near Austin could finish ahead of them. Austin has 44 points and 12 wins. (Thread)

Austin fans are terrified we go to SJ on Decision Day and somehow end up going back there for the play-in game too

I wonder if we can get a discount but keeping the first three words

Didn’t like one of the worst weeks in team history so closely following the best

The home form could be the worst in team history in terms of wins and is why Austin isn’t in the top 4 in the West

Oh sweet summer child

You can also make the case Austin decided to do this with Owen Wolff toward the second half of the season

Scott Specht @scottaspecht.bsky.social · 9d

At no point in the second half did she have any control and Nashville kept pushing it further and further.

The keeper not getting carded for time wasting was especially egregious.
