It was sadley very predictable. We went into game three on the road vs Columbus and dropped 3 goals before we knew what hit us. Gonzalo Pineda did not make the right adjustments to prevent goals, nor has he all season. Our excitment about a 4-2 win at home was short lived.  2024 will surley see wide sweeping roster exits which makes stability difficult. You want to be optimistic, but it's not adding between bad coaching and new players TBD.

Atlanta United traveled to Columbus and lost 2-0. It was going to be hard without Almada, but the team really showed no signs of life or a plan to compete.  We return for match 2 tomorrow night at home. Almada will be back and our approach must be different. It could be the last game of the season. We talk some EPL, La Liga, and all the big Euro action.

Atlanta United FC finished the regular season 6th in the Eastern Conference, hanging onto a draw (2-2) vs FC Cincinnati. Was going for a win worth the risk? Thiago Almada will miss the first game vs Columbus Crew in the three game playoff system.  What is next for Atlanta United FC if we don't progress in  the first round? Why should Gonzalo Pineda keep his position limping into the playoffs with one of the league's best and highest paid rosters? We talk about it all.

Two game recap as Atlanta United don't showcase as a contender vs the MLS top teams.  After falling 3 zip in the first half, the fight to get 2 back was too late. And, the formula holds strong as Columbus visits the Benz where Atlanta can only get a tie against the hottest team in the league. MLS Cup predictions.

Atlanta United FC play the MLS leaders FC Cincinnati and can't hold onto the lead. The team was running out of steam, but did Pineda react in time?  We get a draw vs Dallas on the road. The team still lingers in 6th place. We'll talk about it all, including more Messi magic.

Atlanta United FC crashed out of the Leagues Cup, but is entering the final stretch with 2 strong wins and several good players signings. Have Garth and Boca found the right talent to make us competitive or even thignk about MLS Cup? We'll talk about it all.
