Club América fans aren’t supposed to go Into the Austin FC supporters’ section tonight but here’s one trying to
A tour of the line to buy the new Austin FC jersey! It’s long (but not too long)
This is what the new Austin FC jersey looks like when Mélat is singing while wearing it
Hot Dog gets the start in what looks like a back five (again) with Biro, Hines-Ike, J-Ro, and Gally. Sabovic gets a start; Nelson does not …
Austin FC lineup is out: Plachy starts! Owen starts! Same front three! No J-Ro, but Ilie starts again. (Rotation, sort of, though DA made it sound like we were going to get a little more following Wednesday's bake)
Brandon Vázquez starts! But so does Besard Šabović. Owen Wolff and Jayden Nelson are on the bench. Jorge Alastuey not on the first-team or second-team roster ...

So, it seems mystery's solved on why Ilie was on video online with apparent fireside chat participant and current eyebrow-raising MLS coaching candidate Wilfried Nancy We now return you to your previously-scheduled speculation about which MLS club is going to offer Nancy a job first
This screenshot is floating around Austin FC fan circles this morning. Placing this in my "interesting development" file.
Las and Hot Dog get starts, Dani gets his first start since the injury, mostly a full-strength lineup, let's goooo
Currently embedded with the Austin FC fans; they have trusted me with Pollo
FotMob thinks Nelson is the starting lineup (not even on the bench) instead of Ramirez (who actually is starting)
