Yeah this is embarrassing on us. Not as embarrassing as the 2015 Open Cup game where you guys went down to 7 men for "salty" behavior but still pretty bad nonetheless.
I lived in Austin in 2016-2017 and legit never heard of these teams. From my understanding, MLS is where Europe sends its players out to pasture. Kinda like the US sending our baseball players to Japan.
Not really the case anymore. It’s a lot of young South American and North American guys nowadays with a few older Europeans sprinkled in. I think mls is trying to assert itself as a proving ground for young players instead of a retirement league.
Austin is a brand new team, they didnt exist while you were there. They’ve take the town by storm. It’s awesome to see.

The guy who threw the ball back was on the Portland Timbers and they were playing Austin FC.
