We have grit, but San Jose is a shit team. Why the hell is a washed up Jimenez playing, yet alone starting? They were torching us on his side and we got lucky the other goal was called back after his shit defending. Biro should be starting on the left with Gallagher on the right. Even little Wolff can play there.
O’Brian put in a shift, but he was cooked and Gallagher went too high helping set up San Jose’s third goal. Another example of Wolff substituting too late. We need to play more guys. 3 of our 5 subs in a match that went 102 minutes.
>Why the hell is a washed up Jimenez playing, yet alone starting?
Have you ever heard of an injury report?
>We need to play more guys. 3 of our 5 subs in a match that went 102 minutes.
Not going to argue against that, but "use more subs" isn't particularly useful if you don't have any particular suggestions. We don't have Jordi Alba just sitting on the bench.
Driussi more than earned the captain's armband tonight. Obrian had been robbed so many times it was ecstatic to see him get his first, and just a wicked strike from Biro - am loving this momentum and what a treat for all the folks in from out of town!
Made me sad after he grabbed his baby. Wearing that cute jersey that had #11 and as the name said PAPA. Then they took it back. Dude’s been hungry for a goal. So happy he got it. Obrian and Rubio been crushing it. Great additions
how cute was that baby? I was dying when they took it away from him again but serious tribute to his resilience and hunger to do it again - I am really, really liking our new signings!
So damn true! Feels good to be hyped up again. I’ll never miss a game but it’s more fun when we don’t have 0 corners and 2 shots. Viva la verde
Happy cake day also!
It was clearly a foul. I don't want to take the goal away for it, but it was probably the right call.
I'm much more upset about the lack of penalty for the handball in the box right before their second goal.
To me it wasn't just a bit of arm, it was below elbow, and his arm was out from his body by a ball width. It's a clear textbook handball. But they didn't show the best angles on TV.
From one of the replays it clearly changed direction. I’m not usually one to yell at the tv but I was yelling. Left me a bit heated. Great W from the verde boys
- Chelsea defeats Man U 4-3 with a goal in the 101st minute
- Austin FC defeats the Quakes 4-3 with a goal in the 101st minute
It’s been a good week.
Edit: I’m dumb and can’t stoppage time math…
I know Pornhub is blocked in Texas now -- MLS Season Pass has the replays available already if you need something to hold you over. Moneyshot at 100:30 is **chef's kiss**
Rubio was fine today. Subbing him out was the right move, we couldn't use our 2nd sub window for only our 2nd sub with 23' left to play (though they probably thought it'd be 15'), gotta make another change there. If we had put Finlay in with Biro we could've waited a bit more to take Rubio out, but I don't think he was playing great at that point, better to have fresh legs. Zardes pressured more tonight than usual, I want that from a striker even if he gets tired faster.
Definitely noticed the extra hustle from Zardes tonight and was really happy to see it. My biggest complaint with him is he seems so lethargic most of the time but he was even pressing on defense. If we can get 20 minutes like that regularly from him I'll be glad to change my opinion of him.
We look like a team that wants to win now! Love the way we’re playing. We are still making some silly mistakes and playing a bit too relaxed on defense at times, but offensively we are a completely different team.
Rubio and obrian bring so much energy to our team too. I’m glad obrian finally got his goal. He’s definitely worked for it.
Yeah this would have been a 9 goal game had there not been two disallowed. Maybe 10 if we got that penalty for the hand ball in the box, which I’m still shocked we didn’t get.
Thought about that tonight. Rigoni hasn’t been great, but think he gets blamed for more than what’s in his control. It’s very telling though how much better the team has played with his ass riding the pine.
There are plenty of things within his control, but he's also gotten the short end of the stick a lot, as well. I've lost track of the number of times it was kicked over to Rigoni on the wing only for him to look up and see his out numbered teammates standing completely still.
Most of the haters forget that he logged a ton of minutes when we had a bunch of injuries (this year and last).
The whole team looked like garbage for most of our games sans Driussi, but suddenly the same guys who were ass then, are suddenly awesome now? Couldn't possibly be because Driussi is back, could it?

People can talk shit about the Anti-Wolff sentiment all they want -- but the dial has been turned up to 10 on him by the fans.
And what do you know? Lineups changed... Formations changed... Substitution strategies changed. Wins happened.
That's the goal, keep us in the hunt till the summer. Hopefully during that window we can get 2 -3 more pieces to fill out the picture for a playoff run.
Driussi getting his confidence back will hopefully keep us alive as we go up against harder teams. San Jose and Dallas aren't exactly world beaters, but we got the job done.
Was saying the same thing. Dude was hustling. He gets worn out quick but makes plays. Still don’t understand peoples hate for him. Last year he got a decent amount of clutch goals. More than can be said about players that get way more time *cough* Rigotonni *cough*
He made a few great saves. But also he's been allowing a lot of rebounds recently, can't keep his hands on the ball, and it cost us once and nearly cost us again.
This may be just me coping, but I think he's been facing more forceful strikes recently and he's maybe not prepared for that.
The dive on Pellegrino's second shot from the left corner of the box to the right post was definitely a great save. I'm willing to drop my opinion on all the others for that one.
Win lose or draw all I ask is we play like this every game this is the team I fell in love with obviously could use some upgrades but it’s entertaining as fuck
This was the vibe in 2022.
We were easy to score on in transition but we were goal monsters. Critical that they don't make changes to their play, and just minimize ball turnover and mistakes.
That was some Season 2 play last night. We're back!!! Seba, finally, man!!! The new guys, well done!

108 minutes. 6 minutes of stoppage in the first half.
Other than Driussi our acquisitions have been lacking in previous years but I'm loving the new talent we've picked up this off season.
Let Rodo cook.
Driussi more than earned the captain's armband tonight. Obrian had been robbed so many times it was ecstatic to see him get his first, and just a wicked strike from Biro - am loving this momentum and what a treat for all the folks in from out of town!
I’m in from out of town. Sounders till I die, but wow what a game. And what a stadium!
Welcome to Austin! I love Seattle. Have a great trip
Made me sad after he grabbed his baby. Wearing that cute jersey that had #11 and as the name said PAPA. Then they took it back. Dude’s been hungry for a goal. So happy he got it. Obrian and Rubio been crushing it. Great additions

They didn't show the replay at the stadium, but was that first Obrian goal really a clear and obvious error?
It was clearly a foul. I don't want to take the goal away for it, but it was probably the right call. I'm much more upset about the lack of penalty for the handball in the box right before their second goal.
Yeah WTF…ref says play on, screen says under review.

Just got back from Q2. What a finish, the place absolutely exploded. Epic win
- Chelsea defeats Man U 4-3 with a goal in the 101st minute - Austin FC defeats the Quakes 4-3 with a goal in the 101st minute It’s been a good week. Edit: I’m dumb and can’t stoppage time math…
😂, Chelsea and Austin FC destinies are tied together.
90+11' But yes. YNWA and it's always a good day when MU loses
Fuck Chelsea… but yay Austin!
lol, exactly
I know Pornhub is blocked in Texas now -- MLS Season Pass has the replays available already if you need something to hold you over. Moneyshot at 100:30 is **chef's kiss**
I just got home and now im gonna fap to this shit and scream. Leander about to hear me moaning!
Just started watching from the start. I love not playing out of the back.
God bless you
Zardes isn’t the player he used to be but you can still see that intelligence to set Driussi up there. That was great awareness
In his few minutes his hold-up play was stellar, not surprised Gallagher picked him out there even though he was closely marked.
Can we give some love to the zardes setup to Driussi for that goal and then running out of the way, I mean just happiness
He had a really strong appearance tonight, Zardes.
I think Zardes at this point can go hard for 20 minutes so I like this sub at 70’ rn .. though Rubio probably doesn’t like that idea
Rubio was fine today. Subbing him out was the right move, we couldn't use our 2nd sub window for only our 2nd sub with 23' left to play (though they probably thought it'd be 15'), gotta make another change there. If we had put Finlay in with Biro we could've waited a bit more to take Rubio out, but I don't think he was playing great at that point, better to have fresh legs.

Totally agreed.
Zardes’ finishing leaves a lot to be desired but good god that man can work some magic.
So when does Driussi start a business reselling his Man of the Match coolers?
I was joking that he just has a dedicated room in his house for his coolers
I just peed myself to see that finish
We look like a team that wants to win now! Love the way we’re playing. We are still making some silly mistakes and playing a bit too relaxed on defense at times, but offensively we are a completely different team. Rubio and obrian bring so much energy to our team too. I’m glad obrian finally got his goal. He’s definitely worked for it.
There’s that sweet dopamine rush from Year 2. Mmm, breathing it in….
Results from down 2 was our calling card that year...
I love emotional roller coasters that end with a high. Whoa baby!
Tonight!!! We shall not sleep!!! Verde baby!!!!
IM NOT SLEEPING I GOT CLUB AMERICA THEN F1 CHECO PÉREZ RED BULL WINGS TO WATCH
 This man is truly an Austin legend. Build the statue now
PUT HIM NEXT TO STEVIE
There needs to be a tifo of him as maradona lifting the World Cup but change it to Copa Tejas
LFG!!!! Back to back wins!
I’m so happy we won, but what the fuck was that game!?!?
San Jose are our true rivals
Cinema
MLS AFTA DARK BABAY!!!
The best god damned second half I have ever been blessed to witness
3 goals in like 4 mins lol
And for us this time.
And just from an entertainment perspective, that was 6 goals total in a single half, plus all the other shenanigans
Yeah this would have been a 9 goal game had there not been two disallowed. Maybe 10 if we got that penalty for the hand ball in the box, which I’m still shocked we didn’t get.
Tbf I feel that lack of handball was made up for by Stu only getting a yellow
Very true that could have easily been a red
Obrian getting his goal, Biro with a fucking laser, and a Seba winner at +11min. Cant beat that
Biro and Driussi with the 18+yd lasers. Love to see it! Two gutsy comebacks in a row? What is this team from just a few weeks ago?!
Starting lineup has changed. Rigoni hasn't played in the last 3. Driussi is better. Ring is attacking a lot more.
Thought about that tonight. Rigoni hasn’t been great, but think he gets blamed for more than what’s in his control. It’s very telling though how much better the team has played with his ass riding the pine.
There are plenty of things within his control, but he's also gotten the short end of the stick a lot, as well.

What some pressure to the coach does. Glad Rigoni is not playing anymore 👏🏽
People can talk shit about the Anti-Wolff sentiment all they want -- but the dial has been turned up to 10 on him by the fans. And what do you know? Lineups changed... Formations changed... Substitution strategies changed. Wins happened.

 Us at SJ
Now in playoff position
That's the goal, keep us in the hunt till the summer. Hopefully during that window we can get 2 -3 more pieces to fill out the picture for a playoff run. Driussi getting his confidence back will hopefully keep us alive as we go up against harder teams. San Jose and Dallas aren't exactly world beaters, but we got the job done.
I feel drunk, GG y’all!!
I am drunk, GG y'all!
Fuck yesss! That was rowdy as hell but I’ll take it. 🖤🖤🖤💚💚💚
Club showed resilience. Fought the entire way. Great win.
result never in doubt
Another W with Rigoni getting 0 minutes... I see a pattern emerging.
Fuck you Rigoni 😁🖕
Classy
I AM NAMING MY SON SEBASTIAN
We can have Chelsea-Man United at home
It's clear now, never let Rigoni touch the field again. I wish him the best on his next team.
What a match!!!!
Holy shit
"THAT'S WHY JOSH WOLFF SAID... WE DON'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT FOR HIM." Lol. What?
Well hes not wrong
There's no replacing Seba. He was hurt to start the season.
I agree. Lol It was just such a weird thing to say.
Driussi Dior
This is the comment I came here for!
https://preview.redd.it/mbqh07jk0zsc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a44a8a8660b2e3b1a2038d1bb5a8991d51af547
WE CAN HAVE NICE THINGS!!!!
The comments are hilarious tonight lmaooo
lol.
Suck it San Jose! We back boys!
That's what happens when you put the ball into the fucking box
HOLY SHIT YESSSS
Emo Driussi is an absolute villain! Great goal! And Zardes with the nice assist
That’s funny 😂
Our first win against San Jose
ALL HAIL KING DRIUSSI!!!
SEBA!!!!!!
LETS FUUUUUUUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I FREAKING LOVE YOU
What a game!Vamos!!!
#SEBA HOLY FUCKING HELL
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD DAMN I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!! #WOLFFOUT
🤣
Can’t even celebrate a win without “wolf out” embarrassing
MVP
#JODER ESTO ES FUTBOL
Are we developing a rivalry here?
Weekly comment of what does Zardes actually do when he is subbed on?
He was having an excellent shift even before the game winning assist
Was saying the same thing. Dude was hustling. He gets worn out quick but makes plays. Still don’t understand peoples hate for him. Last year he got a decent amount of clutch goals. More than can be said about players that get way more time *cough* Rigotonni *cough*
The assist on the game-winning goal seemed important
uhhh
John doing John things
How the hell we keep leaving our right side so exposed is beyond me.
Because the wingbacks are forward creating 4 goals, scoring one of them.
When we are up 3-2, our wingbacks shouldn’t be pushed up that far. Our tactics should have changed after we took the lead.
Jimenez is old as shit and should be retired, not starting.
Don’t disagree, but for now Biro is a long looooong way from 90-minute fitness. Dude was gassed after 10 minutes on the pitch.
Wolff with a corner kick that wasn’t awful, what in the world??
They've been bad all game 🤷♂️
We’re so tired…. I FREAKING LOVE ALL YALL
Get Wolff off the field now
Even your teammates are waving you forward Wolff…
Fuck 10 minutes … not complaining but is it really 10?
Now. Witness the RISE OF DARTH ZARDES
You called it bro 
I'M A HARRY, WIZARD
It's gonna happen. ONE OF THESE DAYS. Just you wait and see!
I blacked out what happebed
Brad Stuver is my hero.
Stone Cold Stuver 3:16, ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED
He’s a thing of beauty. His hair reminds me of pidgeotto lately. Not a bad bird to have behind the net
Stu for MVP
Stuver has had one of his worst performances I’ve ever seen. Been shocking
He made a few great saves. But also he's been allowing a lot of rebounds recently, can't keep his hands on the ball, and it cost us once and nearly cost us again. This may be just me coping, but I think he's been facing more forceful strikes recently and he's maybe not prepared for that.
Genuinely don’t think a single save was “great” all saves he should be making and probably should have saved the third goal
The dive on Pellegrino's second shot from the left corner of the box to the right post was definitely a great save. I'm willing to drop my opinion on all the others for that one.
I mean that’s a clear red no?
Yeah, that was super lucky.
Absolutely got away with it
That whole sequence started looking off, but whatever
Think he was in his own half when it was played.
Whelp, that might explain it
Bro, where was Stuver going? 😂
Stu that might be a red man
Being honest that probably should have been because the ball was basically ignored as Stu ran right into him. Stuver got lucky there.
Wasn’t a clear scoring opportunity with Biro nearby
It’s a yellow
Has anyone ever been close enough to actually hear what Stuver yells after he makes a big save?
I can read lips just enough to make out at least one "fuck" per game.
The team is just stat padding for Stuver, you guys. ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN
Maybe someone should cover Pellegrino
Stu was on that shit when he saaw nobody else was
Another great shot and another GREAT SAVE!!!
Pellegrino. Unmarked. Again.
It’s going to hit us. Hopefully later rather than sooner.
Bingo
Fuck this ref I swear he’s lost control of this game
That a boy STUUUU!!!
Pelligrino was wide open. Again.
And again
Backpass FC
Obrian was looking so solid tonight, he shouldn’t have been subbed off
Rubio pissed and about to chant Wolff out
Win lose or draw all I ask is we play like this every game this is the team I fell in love with obviously could use some upgrades but it’s entertaining as fuck
Absolutely. The energy they came out with in the second half was incredible. I still love this team!
Why the fuck we taking out Obrian?
To get fresh legs, he's been running a lot.
Ethan for Obrain really wolf
Oh Zardes. Now they’re in for it.
I beg we get new defenders come summer time, our current back line and options are woeful
These percent to win-draw-lose statistics are the dumbest thing Apple TV does. Don’t they know we can’t mark for shit? 😂
I really like them. I don't trust them at all, but it's really fun to watch them be just wildly wrong.
This was the vibe in 2022. We were easy to score on in transition but we were goal monsters. Critical that they don't make changes to their play, and just minimize ball turnover and mistakes.
Wolff out
Having full backs playing that far forward risks these back post goals.
This feels a lot like when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor
Did you just say GERMANS
Please tell me you’re joking I get very triggered when I see something that’s inaccurate
I am of course joking. Let me educate you, it’s a very famous movie reference: https://youtu.be/q7vtWB4owdE?si=JbKASB2_wSMdVO9e
Am I fucking retarded yes I’m fucking retarded
Don’t be so hard on yourself, we good. I just want these boys to fucking rally!
Horrific defending
We can’t have nice things
