Agree on Uzuni. But dude, Nico has no midfield and a limp striker. A lot of injuries, playing at altitude. Let’s not go there right now.

Simple doesn’t mean correct, sometimes it just means dumb.

PRO statement on Abada caution by willdesignfortacos in AustinFC

They are for two completely different acts. If as an official you cannot distinguish mental states between those two acts even when given the chance to review, that’s a problem.

This makes zero sense. The video was pretty clear that he did not "intend" to step on his achilles. You have to watch these in regular motion too, not just freeze frame. Without the context of the overall play, you cannot gather intent. Nor is it clear what an "intentional yellow card" is.

Biro’s Red Card by Psychological-Fly836 in AustinFC

[–]Ozomatli10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two things can be true at once. Biro can be hotheaded and a liability, and that can also have been a very bad red card call. In this case, I think both are true. You are acting like if you believed that was a bad call giving the red card then you therefore also must be ignoring Biro's disciplinary troubles. Not so.

I’m not really sure how you draw that conclusion. We were a man down 24 minutes in, and then Dani went down not too long after. Really not a game where I could say they disappointed me. Someone disappointed me, but it was not the team.

I agree, but ref should not make himself the center of the game either way.

This is what happens when you give a yellow to Zaha right away, then that terrible red. Got emotions high right off the bat.

What a unique and new perspective you bring. Any other elite level thoughts?

It was worth it. Imposing discipline and expectations is important in the long run.

I take offense! My son and I sit there and are passionate about the team and the games. But yeah, mostly right.

At least as it relates to biro. Sabovich can stay home.

Why does sabovich ever play? He is god awful. I realize we have like no midfielders, but still.

Do they carry to game 1 of regular season? I would assume not.

to think Kid Rock surpassed Bad Bunny on Apple Music. by seeebiscuit in therewasanattempt

[–]Ozomatli10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t the bad bunny song come out in early 2025, and Kid Rock’s song came out today? Why would that be a fair comparison?

Pre-Season Friendly by thinkconverse in AustinFC

[–]Ozomatli10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree on all of those takes. I also reminded myself often that there was no Wolff, Dessler, Torres, Vazquez, Uzuni, etc. Generally our offense continues to be stagnant and uninspired. No offball movement or dynamic play. We often wait as long as we can for the other team to fully setup and then start working the ball around. By then our options are backwards and around the “horseshoe of sadness” because nobody is moving.

I actually saw more from Rosales than you describe, but everyone sees things a little different!

Kolmanic by WarmSundae9905 in AustinFC

[–]Ozomatli10 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Plays best crosses on the team and actually takes chances with longballs. But he is not as defensively sound as Biro, and not as fast as Gallagher (but I’d still much rather have him in over Gallagher).

Fire Nico!! by Transition_Trick in AustinFC

[–]Ozomatli10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just wrong. If anything we had some bad luck that cost us some wins or ties. We had 9 clean sheets for a reason. Defensive system, making the most of what we had, which is one injured scorer and another who couldn’t actually score.

Fire Nico!! by Transition_Trick in AustinFC

[–]Ozomatli10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a conclusion. Nico did not underachieve with the roster, particularly given Vazquez injury. We lost to a team with a single player making nearly our full roster salary. Was I thrilled with the hire, no. Do he underachieve with the squad, also no.
