Maybe, just maybe, if enough players bring objects that means something to them and set those on fire, Verde will score more goals.
One goal is better than no goals, and a draw against a top West opponent is better than a loss. But did Verde do enough to convince fans they're on a path to make the playoffs?
Robert Taylor appears ready to play for Austin FC. It's a team, in turn, appearing ready for what he might bring.
Verde head coach Nico Estévez believes the goals will come. Do you?
Five clean sheets. Five wins, four by a 1-0 margin. That's good for second in the West ... but what does it mean for a Verde squad still thinking it can do better?
