ATL ON FIRE - Fans of Atlanta United FC

Atlanta United lost another opportunity to pick up a full three points. Having played nearly half the game with a man advantage, Gonzalo Pineda was unable to produce a critical road win that was on a plate for the taking.  Dave seems to have a moment of clarity, looking back at his notes this season. Mike is still in shock Miguel Berry got the start. MLS refs need to get a grip. Giving out Red Cards needs some common sense, and it was disappointing to see these teams playing a man down for no considerable reason.

Atlanta United FC - 3 Game Recap - Miami Loss (2-1), Charlotte Loss (1-3) and Colorado Win (4-0)

The losing streak ends against Colorado 4-0, but we also will recap the Miami Loss where Josef Martinez get's a brace and a loss to Charlotte FC's where Justin Miram scores a brace.  While the team played with intensity, the same issues still seem to be lurking.  Luis Araujo is headed back to Brazil. If Almada also goes in the summer, we'll have 2 DP slots open. Bocanegra better have some options lined up. 

Tennessee soccer teams beat up on Atlanta United FC. A shocking loss to Memphis FC at Kennesaw in the US Open Cup, it was painful and embarrassing.  Three days later, Atlanta couldn't win without Giorgos Giakoumakis, losing 3-1 on the road.  Pineda might have this team in third place in the Eastern Conference, but this team is not performing well or to its full potential. 

A perfect day in Atlanta, the roof was open at the Benz.  We took all three points, but the game was hardly a pretty sight.  Giorgos Giakoumakisgets gets his 5th straight goal in 5 games, and maybe 5 yellow cards but who’s counting those?  He's on fire, and hopefully not injured. The Greek is for real.  However; the rest of the team’s performance was lacking. Pineda continues to fly his airplanes. We'll talk about it all.

Three game recap of Atlanta United's last three games. A win over New Yew York Red Bulls 1-0 at home in #ATLUTD’s first regular season victory over NYRB.  A 1-1 draw vs NYCFC on the road, and another 2-2 draw vs Toronto FC that felt like a loss as we gave up a goal in the final minute of extra time. Giorgos Giakoumakis gets a muscle injury and comes out of the game. He’s had 4 starts and 4 goals, maybe 4 yellow cards too, the the X factor we need up front.

Atlanta United Loss 6-1 vs Columbus Crew - Shambolic Coaching.  Join the Fire as we talk about a game to forget. We'll have our starters back for the game at home April 1st, Saturday vs New York Red Bulls.  Can Pineda coach? Can Pineda assess who is more talented on his rosters? We have questions.

Join the fire as we talk about a very positive result for Atlanta United at home vs the Portland Timbers. Giorgos Giakoumakis scores his first goal for the club. Thiago Almada's European stock keeps rising. 2 goals and 2 assists. Araujo rings in a nice goal while Calib Wiley pops in another to lead MLS in goals. Pineda, changes? We'll talk about it all.

We talk about the GGG Report and a bad look for Reyna parents, yikes. Atlanta United starts off the season with a top of the table position. How are we looking, will we beat Portland? We talk about it all!

Thiago Almada puts in 2 bangers in extra time to save Atlanta United in their lackluster season opener against San Jose. While we have optimism for Thiago Almada, we don’t see any changes from Gonzalo Pineda that make our future bright.

A week out from Atlanta United’s home opener, Nick Purdy joins the ATL ON FIRE Podcast Show at his very own Wild Heaven Brewery in Avondale Estates. The sun was shining, the beer was pouring, and we talked about the 2023 Atlanta United season, just days away!  Nick is an OG Footie Mob supporter, with roots as a traditional Atlanta sports fan cheering on the Hawks, Falcons, Braves, Auburn, etc... However; Nick knows the right soccer questions to ask of us soccer nerds, so he did just that, flipping the script on ATL ON FIRE.
