Bénie Traoré frozen out at Austin FC
This is not rotation. Bénie Traoré has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Austin FC is pretending otherwise.

Nicolás Dubersarsky has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Austin FC can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

The wait goes on for Austin FC
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Words exchanged at Austin FC

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Austin FC can tell you which week it ends in.

A bad afternoon for Austin FC against San Jose Earthquakes
0‑2 to San Jose Earthquakes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The half-term report on Austin FC
Position 4, 26 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Tim Robinson to a room that had heard them before.
