... and what to look for in Seattle on Saturday

If optimistic Austin FC fans had visions of an eight-month thrill ride in 2024, Saturday’s season-opening match was a tall glass of flat beer to the face. The latest chapter in the Book of Verde certainly suggested that Volume IV might be another dreary, ponderous tome.

The new campaign was supposed to put an injury-riddled 2023 in the rearview. Instead, Sebastián Driussi began the year out of the lineup with a hamstring injury, while top center back Leo Väisänen sustained a foot injury in the opener that had him on crutches by the end of the night. Wolff and his staff might be preaching all the right things, but if the players aren’t picking up the sermon, it’s going to look the way it did against Minnesota.
