Tonight's Austin City Council meeting is getting tense and security had to break up the opposing parties shoving each other.

 

And apparently PSV and the Austin developer touted creating the required MLS academy as a "community benefit" of having the stadium, however they failed to mention how the stadium would benefit girls soccer and hasn't made many folks happy.

 

 

The fact that the Anti-MLS guy is named Chivas made me chuckle.

Meanwhile, Chicago has decided to boost their laggard attendance in another underwhelming season by...

 

*checks notes*

 

....banning all organized supporter activity from the stadium and revoking more season tickets.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Precourt lobbyist Richard Suttle to the Austin council, "Your staff took a two-page long resolution and turned it into a 30-page term sheet... There are many poisoned pills in what I've seen passed out tonight. This city will not get an MLS team if [the deal] gets any more unbalanced financially."

 

 

 

"This city will not get the thing that it didn't ask for" Whoooooo wow, what a threat!

The Austin mayor has gotten over 10 grand in bribes  political contributions from the Precourt team. FYI. 

 

He's got the worst attorneys and they're all so bumbling. The team's being stolen by the biggest idiots in pro sports. That's the worst part. Precourt is so completely unimpressive as a businessman and person and leader and when you learn that his dad bought this team for him, that he's never had to work for anything before, that his career is pushing money from one place to the next you see why he is the way he is when someone stands in his way. It's like a movie with a villain and a team of dumbass henchman except the winning outcome for us is he's going to sell the team and scurry off with 300 million dollars. 

 

If I lived in Austin I wouldn't want this guy anywhere near my city. If I'm Don Garber I'm doing all I can to get this guy out of my roster of owners because he sucks.

He actually tried to push a vote last night and the mayor told him he'd probably lose and he still wanted it. It's just amazing to me that Don Garber is letting this go on. Suttle also tried saying that he couldn't guarantee MLS would grant an extension when Garber was on record saying there's no deadline.

That looks like the kind of guy whose best college memory was hazing new members of his frat, all the while desperately dodging academic probation.

He reminds me of the bumbling son in Smokey and the Bandit.

This is my first time seeing Audi Field on TV. The pitch looks a little small, doesn't it? And while I don't love the field-level suites (and blank space) on the middle TV-facing sideline, I do think it's otherwise a nice-looking stadium. I wish it were fuller though.

 

Given the events of the weekend in DC, it occurred to me that "Proud Boys" sounds like a perfect supporters club name. It seems almost odd not to have it.

Pitchwise, it's 1m wider than the UEFA category 4 standard. (105X69, compared to the UEFA standard of 105x68). Id hardly say it's small at all.

Maybe it's a weird angle on TV.

 

All three Sunday MLS games were a lot of fun today. Especially that miracle Rooney assist at the end.

Judging by a significant portion of people who troll @MLS, yes, plenty of people hate soccer. Or at least can't get over the fact that the Premier League isn't in the United States.

 

Thanks for sharing the video. It's still awesome. Play of the year, probably.

Did anyone notice Acosta blatantly tripping the Orlando City player leaving the box to prevent the two-on-one? 

I believe that was part of the review after the goal, not sure though.

These are the kinds of plays that help to cement soccer fandom. I’ve enjoyed this game THROUGHLY over the past year or so.
