Jimmy Maas and Juan Garcia talk with Phil West of Verde All Day and Eric Goodman of the Austin Chronicle about the Major League Soccer All-Star Game and Austin FC’s prospects after Brandon Vazquez’s injury. Plus Q2’s resident luchador Verdisimo takes on the Bayou Breeze. And the grudge match on the pitch is decided between supporter groups Los Verdes and Pollo FC.
Brothers Michael Canales and Brian Hensley have been by each other’s side for their highest highs and lowest lows. When the South End of Q2 stadium got a bit too rowdy for them, they crossed the pitch to the North End. They started leading family friendly chants and antagonizing opposing goalkeepers in a slightly mellower (and drier) side of the pitch. Hear how they got christened “The North End Pirates” and what it does for their relationship.

Austin FC supporters have turned Q2 stadium into one of the best environments in Major League Soccer. One way they show their support of the team on game day is through elaborate fan displays, called tifos. These giant banners are displayed for a couple of minutes right before kickoff, but each one takes hundreds of people and weeks to make, and is one of the best ways to get involved in supporting the team.
