Awww Congratulations to Fonti on his retirement!

Probably an unpopular opinion, but they should sell or trade William Agada.

Awww, Ian James is making his MLS Debut!

Kinda obsessed with this kit!

Jake Davis FINALLY gets a break and is subbed off. He's the hardest-working player on the team. This game is kinda boring. I'm ready for it to end.

I'm ready for Thommy to be subbed off. He's not a full 90-minute guy IMO. Give the Captain's band to Salloi. Does it really matter at this point?!

Aww yeah! Memo is my hero. We only need three more goals to win this!

Ok, PV listened to me and made some subs. Here's hoping that Salloi and Agada can score five goals to win this. That seems likely 🤣

PV, make some freakin subs before someone gets hurt!

Welp, now I can go back to being depressed about the real world instead of worrying about this SKC CONCACAF game against Miami. I hope PV takes our five best players out of the game. Maybe Salloi will enter and be our saving grace? 😂

"We're coming here to compete & to win." #SportingKC

A new episode is out and Sheena is back! This week: - We react to the two #Sporting KC losses - Address Salloi hate - Talk Vargas' release - Brody's signing - Coach Roger - Captain Thommy and more! kcsoccerjournal.com/02/23/2025/s...

Welp, one game down and there were glimpses of hope. Overall, we looked like a team that hadn't played together much AND played a few nights ago. I was happy to see subs. Also, does anyone know who became Captain after Thommy was subbed off? I never saw anyone with the Captain's band.

Can we blow the whistle two minutes early? SKC is exhausted.

Austin is wasting SO much time. It's annoying to watch

Salloi's mustache reminds me of a character from a movie who has to go undercover. However, the only thing he changes about his appearance is a fake mustache. Then he pretends to be Daniel's twin brother, Baniel (something that rhymes). I've def put wayyy too much thought into this situation.

Diego Rubio has entered the game. Dang, I love him but I hope he does bad tonight. Historically, I don't think he has bad games against us. This could be entirely made up.

Honestly, I can't believe it took 75 minutes for Austin to score. I kinda dig the green light when they score, but darn. Austin: 1 SKC: 0

How did we not score?!?!

Which team has the better hair game? Austin narrowly wins the hair game for me. Fav hairstyles on their team... Pereira (8), Wolff (33), Obrian (7), and Diego Rubio. I haven't seen Rubio but historically he has good hair. I can't decide what's worse... Ilie's hair or Salloi's mustache. Thoughts?

I'm not sure if the mustache is making Salloi a better player.

First half thought: - Both teams are struggling. Austin has had more opportunities, but they've had some miscues. SKC has struggled at times with passing. Stat: - Austin had the ball 56% of the time compared to SKC who had the ball 44%. Random: Can someone explain the Austin tifo to me? Thanks!

Thanks Chad for clipping this! What is happening with his eyes?

What a save by Pulskamp! The rest of the team seems to be off by a few seconds. Should there be subs at half time? Chad and I think so!

25 minutes in and we need it to be half-time. We haven't found our groove yet.

I'm digging the goalie kit Pulskamp is wearing. He also has one of my favorite hairstyles...take a shot because I have lots of hair commentary tonight!

Hi Soccer friends! If you're looking for super casual soccer takes on the SKC/Austin game then you've come to the right place! Captains for the game: Austin: Ilie Sanchez SKC: Erik Thommy

Love this Tifo which honors the firefighters in Los Angeles.

IT'S GAMEDAY ‼️ 🆚 Austin FC 🕢 7:30PM CT 🖥️ Watch on Apple TV: apple.co/419vVmi

Tonight kicks off the MLS season for Sporting Kansas City. What are your predictions?

Chad's right, this is a surprising move.

Hey friends! This week I stepped outside my comfort zone and joined Chad on the Swoontower Soccer podcast. Stephanie and Mike were great! They have great energy and I want to be friends with them. They are a great resource if you want to hear what Austin has been up to. Thanks for having us!!

Kudos, KC. Y'all showed up in freezing temps. I couldn't/wouldn't do it. Hence why I'm a casual fan :)

Thanks for joining my inaugural live posting of an SKC game. Thanks for all the comments and for keeping me company during the game. Unrelated, but I have an important PSA announcement for anyone who owns a Kindle and bought digital books from Amazon. www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Final Thoughts: - It's interesting Messi played the whole game. - Jacob Bartlett looks freezing - I didn't hate Thommy as the Captain. - Defense overall played better than anticipated - I liked what I saw from the new players - I'm a little more excited for the season after this game.

Seems like the Miami guy should have been given a card for the takedown on Thommy.

Take a shot because I've figured out the best hair for SKC... It belongs to newcomer, Manu Garcia. Honorable Mention: Nemanja Radoja. His hair always ranks high for me. For those who asked... I'm still not a fan of Salloi's mustache.

Messi can add scoring a goal in freezing cold temps to his resume. I mean, haven't we all just been waiting for this to happen? Also, Pulskamp looks to be the coldest player on the field.
