The @statesman.com is no longer pretending that the opponents have legitimate concerns by putting this as the lede, and I am here for it. www.statesman.com/news/local/a...

The Extremely Normal Western Conference, where the gap between 8th and 13th is 4 points but it’s impossible to figure out what’s happening because there is a three game differential between teams in the hunt.

Yeah if you compare the concept here to the actual results, it’s clear they stretched the visuals to make it seem like they were overhauling it when it’s really just the awning.

The key to that distinction is this: Under IFAB protocols, this must be deemed a “clear and obvious” handball offense to send the referee to the monitor. Under the PRO standard, they send the referee to the monitor if the on field official saw “something different” than what the video assistant did.

From PRO about last night, via @verdeallday.bsky.social: PRO has just decided that they’re making up VAR as they go. There is nothing in the IFAB protocols that indicate a referee should be sent to the monitor if they “see something different” than the VAR. It MUST be a clear and obvious error.

Maybe we shouldn’t be so focused on being financially dependent on degenerate gamblers, because then you get this nonsense in the 21st minute just before an ATX goal.

Despite finishing 2nd on the MLS side of the bracket, and 2 points ahead of our opponent (and 3rd place in the Liga MX side) Toluca, Austin FC do not have hosting privileges because this is a deeply unserious tournament. Toluca won the Fall season of Liga MX, and for some reason gets priority.

Perhaps @capmetroatx.bsky.social should figure out how to fix the Rapid service because 37 minutes between buses is way below even the infrequent routes, much less the 20 expected on a rapid line on weekday evenings. Though the data is such a mess it’s hard to tell what is actually happening.

Another hundred million to APD ought to fix this.

It’s the same silly nonsense for offside with the phrase “deliberate” thrown in there so referees can whimsically change the call from match to match based on their own definition of the word.

Houston has the stadium name redacted (fine) as well as the street name because it is NRG Parkway. It’s the street name!

It is exactly 52 minutes from Anfield to Old Trafford at the moment. One could argue that Manchester United plays in Liverpool.

Date: 2024 Location: The I-70 frontage road near Arrowhead Stadium Description: A bus revolt is staged and crowds walk the final 20 minutes to the Copa America match because their transit is so awful, and through the suffering, we take comfort in knowing this will be fixed for the World Cup

I hate to break it to the Europeans, but last night’s thunderstorm in Austin was not even particularly noticeable. Biggest concern was KVUE using the severe alert ticker over the score graphics for the Spurs game rather than the top left hand corner popup.

One of the people on this stage says we should emulate San Antonio’s Via Metropolitan Transit and re-do Project Connect with busses. It is the one who is actively suing to stop the project on the basis of the deal being unclear to voters. We should stop taking him seriously. #KUTFestival

tl;dr: A good stadium that is clearly important to the sport as a whole, but obviously rushed and should be concerning to the league that more than a decade of work to get it built culminated in a mediocre opening.

020

Tony Cardone @tonycardone.com · 06/04/2026

- Dumpsters and trash litter the grounds still, poorly shielded by temporary privacy fences - Concourses are fine though undersized like many MLS stadiums. - South end of the stadium ran out of food around kickoff, and beverages were only stocked in some stands after kickoff leading to warm $19 beer

Tony Cardone @tonycardone.com · 06/04/2026

- The rest of the complex hasn’t even started work. - Entry from transit is poor. 20+ minute walk across uneven paths and filtering between cars in parking lots is dangerous. - Closest gate to transit is the VIP entrance, a walk to the south side of the stadium on (amusingly) plastic grass.

Tony Cardone @tonycardone.com · 06/04/2026

Nu Stadium thoughts: - This is nowhere near the best stadium in the league. Not even top 5. - Concerned that prominent figures got curated access and didn’t responsibly review. - The stadium is not complete. Glaring problems like leaky roof and dripping pipes show why scissor lifts were back on Sun

Tony Cardone @tonycardone.com · 03/04/2026

Still lots of construction in and around Nu Stadium before #AustinFC kickoff, now less than 36 hours away. And they still don’t have a certificate of occupancy, apparently. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...
