Ben Bender, Kipp Keller, and first team minutes for SuperDraft picks

By Jason Davis – WASHINGTON, DC (Apr 8, 2022) US Soccer Players - New teams need players. It's a statement as reductive as it is obvious. If you're building a new soccer team from scratch, the players for your new team have to come from somewhere. You can, of course, sign veteran players domestic and foreign, per the rules of your league. In Major League Soccer, those rules are myriad and . . .

Normal expansion realities set in for Austin FC

By Charles Boehm – WASHINGTON, DC (Sep 24, 2021) US Soccer Players - "Yeah, well, you can keep blaming Wolff. You're fine, that's an easy narrative." It sounded much more lighthearted in context than it might look on paper. A genial one-liner tossed out with a smile in the midst of a conversation with a well-intentioned journalist.

The issues for Major League Soccer’s Texas trio

By Jason Davis – WASHINGTON, DC (Sep 1, 2021) US Soccer Players - As tourism efforts like to remind us, "Everything is bigger in Texas." The phrase is likely rooted in the state's sheer size, but it applies to many areas of life for Texans. Nobody does it bigger than Texas, with "it" standing in for food, football, and much more. Soccer, however, probably doesn't belong on the list. At least . . .

Toronto and Austin at the bottom of the tables

By J Hutcherson (Aug 17, 2021) US Soccer Players - Major League Soccer has a long tradition of unbalancing the schedule. Figuring out the table takes more than assuming all teams playing the same number of games at any given time. For long stretches of the season in this league, it's points plus games played up and down the conference tables. Even that may not be enough information. With MLS . . .

Austin opens its soccer stadium

June 16, 2021 by Jason Davis

By Jason Davis – WASHINGTON, DC (Jun 16, 2021) US Soccer Players - Not all that long ago, as human history goes, Texas was a frontier for European settlers making their way across the vast North American continent. Make no mistake, people lived in the area, but Texas lacked any permanent settlements that we would identify as a city. As time unspooled and explorers drifted from east to west, Texas, . . .
