“Alright, alright, alright.” The “Dazed and Confused,” “Lincoln Lawyer” and “Wolf of Wall Street” star bought into his beloved college city’s foray into soccer in 2019. Austin FC then joined MLS in 2021, making their league debut with a fairly underwhelming run of six straight defeats. Arguably, the franchise had already scored their first major victory by managing to get McConaughey — the unofficial mayor of Austin — on board in the first place. Their first league points came courtesy of a resounding 4-1 drubbing of Portland Timbers in early July. This was after McConaughey had delivered a motivational drum performance before the previous home game against San Jose Earthquakes in scenes eerily similar to his chest-thumping, rhythmic-humming, trance-like cameo in “Wolf of Wall Street.”
