You are 14th of 15 in the Western Conference on 31 points from 30 games, goal difference -18. Eleven points is the gap to anything that matters.

What is left to play for

Real Salt Lake at home on October 29, then LA Galaxy away on October 31. Three games, and the table position is what it is.

Sporting Kansas City first. The two home dates after that are the last chance to see this side at Q2 in the regular season.

Fan reactions

The mood on r/AustinFC is less about the table and more about hunger. One thread wants to see some fire at Sporting Kansas City on Sunday, with the argument that the men who took the blame for that loss deserve a response. Another is a simple question about the Ukraine banner visible behind the goal in the last match highlights, which nobody has quite answered.
