Goddamn that ATL starting 11 looks scary. Definitely the team I'll watch the most this year other than the Whitecaps.

 

[imBask]

LOVE the Atlanta kit, looks even better in action

 

[Cystm]

That's a really good ball in from Mears

 

[RBH]

WOOOOOOOOOO

 

[imBask]

Atlanta is going to be a great thing for the MLS, that crowd is fucking excited

nice goal

 

[Arials]

People don't like the exploitation of kids. Surprise!

How on earth is an U20 tournament exploitation of kids?

Youth games get low attendances for the same reason, women's teams get low attendances (outside the US): it's looked down on as being less physical, less skillful and lower level of competition.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

atlanta looks real good

 

[RBH]

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUU, so close

 

[Frank the Great]

Atlanta's defense has so many holes in transition. RB are lacking sharpness, we should have had a couple. We just keep misplacing passes or making the wrong decision in attack. Hopefully this isn't another early season funk.

Their kit is sexy as fuck though (Milan is my #1 team and the influence is clear). It's funny to see a couple of ex-Serie A players in there (FYI, Carmona played in Italy for Atalanta for many years before signing for Atlanta). I hope they lose today but I hope they do well this season.

Alexi Lalas is an idiot.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

let's see if Atlanta can keep it up for the second half.

Alexi Lalas is an idiot.

very much so. normally his troll persona doesn't bother me too much but that was far too much bootlicking for my liking.

 

[ZZMitch]

Lol Robles.. "Now is not the fucking time!"

 

[Cystm]

The SAT Decay tho......... *Sigh*

Edit: It's back.

 

[ZZMitch]

Almiron is fun to watch.

This game has been great.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Atlanta is the platinum standard for expansion sides now. man they look real good

 

[Clydefrog]

Aww mean Red Bulls :/

 

[Frank the Great]

Gooooooooooool

Set piece to the rescue

 

[RBH]

Had a feeling that was coming

 

[Frank the Great]

Gooooooooooool

Grella magic to the rescue

 

[Cystm]

You think somewhere in Chicago, Dax is smiling right now?

 

[RBH]

Neat

 

[smokeandmirrors]

aw nj gotta ruin all the fun

 

[Cystm]

ATL just impded

 

[smokeandmirrors]

that was really really dumb

 

[RBH]

What an idiot

Well, despite the usual Atlanta sports team implosion within the past 15 minutes, there's something to build upon here at least. Should be interesting to see how this team progresses and further gels over the course of the season.

yeah. there is one hell of a foundation to build upon.

Yeah, definitely. For an expansion side, they are going to be contenders. As long as they do not allow themselves to implode like that anymore, that is.

55,297 United together is a beautiful thing to see and hear. Love it.

 

[Icolin]

Ugh. What a flat performance by the Whitecaps tonight. How Techera missed that chance is beyond me.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I'll take a road point.

Speaking of MLS Live, is it just me or does Chromecast on browser not work the same as on a phone anymore? I was trying both this past weekend and via browser only let me cast the tab like anything else, rather than open like an app in the phone. If that makes sense.

- SI: LA Galaxy extend a new offer to Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Also, Pulisic is starting today, and Yedlin is worryingly still injured.

Pulisic had a nice flicked-on header off a corner to win an assist.

And now the goal to give BVB the lead in the tie. Dortmund need one more though to be safe.

 

[Realeza]

How many people were at the Atlanta opener?

Damn that's good. Didn't they sell a similar amount of season tickets? It's good to see another city pulling those numbers.

They capped it at 30k, iirc.
