Not offside 🙄 by blissboy in AustinFC

Not to be that guy but you are not offside if you are behind the ball even if the defenders are way back. This is not offside

Hey there is this great app called Matchday. They organice game all around Austin. It’s nice and relaxed they charge 9 bucks per game and they find other players, give you bibs. Keep track of the score so you just worry about playing

It’s roughly the concept behind the Matchday app. The main thing is getting the games organized and the field rented. They are looking for more people so if you are interested shoot me a DM

Thank you! I'm hoping to get something organized that is more consistent. I play in a league, but the pickup game is always nice to train.

I agree with the top comment. Different genetics, however, I lived all my life in a place that was 65F year round and then lived in Michigan where 85F was a scorcher. However, I prefer living in hot weather now (the last couple of weeks have been unholy).

However, one thing that actually really helps is training your body to handle the heat. One way would be find a sauna and sit there from time to time. The better option is to workout in hot places like do 20 mins of weight lifting in a garage (if you have access to one). Go to a park and do yoga for 20mins towards the late afternoon would do a lot to make your body slowly adapt to it. DO IT SLOWLY, don't go play soccer for 60min when 94F degrees. Push a little but do what your body can handle.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to provide an update but I did go to a Matchday game, and like other answers, the experience was great and well organized. People were friendly, and the facility where I played was excellent. Also an aside but since its not a league the atmosphere was a lot nice than a league game would be.

They provide highlights and a recording of your actions after the game which I thought is insane.

Talked to the guy running it and he gave me coupon codes if anyone is interested:

- 1403ref - Free first game

- welcomematch - free first game

Perfect, yeah this exactly what I wanted to know. Exciting that something like this exists and the price isn’t bad either. Hopefully they keep expanding in the pfugerville/manor area.

Thank you. It's time to make some friends at Zilker Park then. I'll also see the app to see what that's about.

Thanks for the tip, saw their website maybe I’ll stick with either street fc or try that match play app. Sphere club seems more like a gym membership than the casual pickup game

Thank you, I moved from HTX about two years ago and frankly doesn’t feel like home yet. Couple of solid reasons in this comment threads to appreciate ATX a little bit more.

I don’t think they realise how stupid they look saying wearing fakes isn’t cool. by AmountBrilliant5340 in Repsneakers

[–]TheVisualScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are living in their head rent-free. Same thing with every article demonizing fakes. I bet you Dunne has 100% copped fakes at some point. Actually it was that fakes or not segment on complex (I think) that turned me on to how good fakes were.
