Do you remember 5-0 at Austin FC in February of 2022? That crushing loss that started the Pat Noonan era at FC Cincinnati? Oh, we all remember. Both teams made the playoffs in 2022, but since then, the Orange & Blue and Los Verdes have inhabited different sides of the coin. While Noonan's boys have managed to stay high, Austin FC has exchanged head coaches after subpar seasons. The greener side of things? Brandon Vazquez has been given one of the keys to the attack atop Austin's revamped offense. So what exactly has Nico Estevez brought to The ATX? We ask Mike and Steph from Moontower Soccer about soccer life under Anthony Precourt, the exchange of designated players in the offseason, the arrival of and the hope of revitalization in the 2025 MLS season.
