Austin FC just can’t seem to figure out how to juggle multiple competitions in the same season.
on a growing, comically diverse list of clubs to upset the Verde and Black in a competition outside the confines of Major League Soccer.
The details change, but the problems stay the same: Josh Wolff's club just can't seem to figure out how to juggle multiple competitions in the same season. In the last 15 months, El Tree has bowed out of the last twoin the first round, and now finds itself at serious risk of getting bounced from the Leagues Cup in the group stage despite hosting every match at Q2 Stadium.
It's not for lack of want to. At least, not if you believe the pregame hoopla. Each new competition is unfailingly greeted with a heavy dose of aspirational chitchat about"growing the legend" and"showing what we're about." But when it comes time to actually put ball into net, that's when things tend to fall apart.
A recurring trend in these ego-deflating eliminations has been an ATX starting lineup that leaves a lot to be desired. Such was the case Friday night as well, but to be fair to Wolff and company, much of that had to do with injuries.
