Austin FC's goal is to keep the party going in year two. Only this time with the results on the field to match the fever pitch in the stands, and pull the club out of the basement in the Western Conference.
AUSTIN, Texas — Win, lose or draw — and there was a lot of losing — the drumbeats from the rowdiest fans of Austin FC never stopped in the club's first season.
“We have a deeper roster, certainly more quality, character and leadership,” Austin coach Josh Wolff said. “I look at our group as a very hungry group with plenty to prove.” The party truly started at the first home match when actor and minority owner Mathew McConaughey appeared in a bright green suit on the pitch and banged a drum while leading pregame cheers. His colorful history in Austin includes a 1999 late night arrest as he played the bongos while naked and high at his home.
David Beckham's club landed in MLS in 2020 after seven years of planning. An inaugural season of losing was soon followed in year two with more defeats on the field, while the front office struggled through a morass of contract problems, fines and sanctions. Reyna owns what could be argued is the club's biggest roster misstep so far: signing Argentina midfielder Tomas Pochettino to one of the club's designated player contracts for the 2021 season.
