ATL ON FIRE - Fans of Atlanta United FC

Dave and Mike talk about the squeaky bum win over Charlotte FC at home at the Benz. We still need some new chants to fire up the crowd and get people standing.  Dave breaks down the corner kick zone defense and we praise Moreno’s amazing deep ball to Jake to put the final dagger into the Charlotte chest. We talked about it all.

Atlanta United Trivia is back and we learn a little about the MLS growth and soccer potential in the USA. Dave brings a great bottle of Indian Wells Cabernet Sauvignon so we can talk about it all. Including, our home opener win against Sporting Kansas City and our rough loss against Colorado Rapids. Without our starters, Dave is happy about Pineda playing it proper from the whistle. 

Mike and Dave take the fire to the rainy parking lot of Elliott Street Pub. Atlanta United win 3 -1 over Sporting KC with a thin squad. Araujo gets the first goal and sets the path to victory. Martinez has some nice assists and we talked about it all in the home opener for Atlanta United. Subscribe, find us on YouTube. 

Season 4, Dave and Mike talk about it all for the Atlanta United 2022 season. What does success look like for the team? Who left the squad, and who did we sign. Who might we sign. Thiago Almada, MLS's largest signing for $16mm and the talent Atlanta United already has should be productive. Only time will tell. Vamos!

ATLONFIRE trivia is back and we talk about it all, including some top memories of the 2021 season good and bad.  Dave walks us through a detailed analysis of the playoff loss to NYFC on their home field (advantage) designed for a 7v7 match.  MLS Next is coming and ATLUTD2 will likely join in 2023. Thiago Almada in, but not just yet with Barco still in the house.

Dave brings his own wine to celebrate the playoffs for Atlanta United.  Mike admits, the wine is not only drinkable, it's good!  Shocked about a year 1 wine, we go into the formation change from Gonzalo Pineda and why we should be playing 4-3-3 headed into the NYFC playoff game. But, we don't think the coach will go that direction. Mike thinks we'll win regardless and advance in the playoffs, Dave thinks it's our final stop.  We talk about it all, including the new wonderboy Thiago Almada who will join the team in 2022.

Atlanta United essentially locked a playoff spot with tonight's 0-0 draw against New York Red Bulls. This looked to be coach Pineda's plan. Mike and Dave are worried about Pineda putting a stamp on the team, finding our identity and ensuring our players are put in the best position to win heading into the playoffs. Pineda's substitutions seem very wild, and we just don't feel like the team is clicking to enter the MLS cup hot.
