I’m back guys

He drops the weirdest mullet and we get a clean sheet and dominant W? Was this the answer the whole time??

(No way it was about the quality of the opponent).

Great news, fam. We're Inter Miami's kryptonite, Chicago Fire are streaky, Toronto have only beaten Montreal in their last five and prefer to draw everyone, NYCFC have only won 1 in their last 12 matches which was vs. RSL who have won 1 in their last 13 matches, and Red Bull's 3 wins in their last 11 were against Columbus, NYCFC, and San Diego who haven't won in 7 straight.

ATLUTD gonna make the playoffs, everything will be fixed, and then we can do this all over again! Isn't that super?

ATLUTD2 are hosting their first-ever playoff match tomorrow, and I’m thinking about heading out. I haven’t been to a 2s match before, but this feels like a hell of a good time to start.
What’s everyone’s plan? Will any of the supporters groups be out there getting chants going? Is there a spot everyone usually gathers, or anything a first-timer should know?
They’re Five Stripes too, and I feel like we should be out there being rowdy and proud for our boys. Let’s give them a proper home playoff atmosphere.

Match info: Friday, October 16, at 6 p.m. against CT United FC at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground.
Tickets are less than $10 (not including fees)

We’ve got two academy products who’ve earned more minutes than they’re getting right now and 2 u22s blocking their progression. Dom was in the PRO Best 11 and is a finalist for defender of the year. He proved time and time again hes too good for the 2's and hes better than Baez at 5 years younger. Matt Edwards is our new Ronald Hernandez who doesnt cost us a goal everytime he comes on. Hes played RB, LB, CB, and im sure hes played on the wing late into games. Hes worked his ass off ever since he started getting minutes and shows more passion for the club than any of these South Americans have. They only care when we play Miami which is luckily this weekend. Jacob is only a better shooter than Edwards which is the least important trait for a fullback. Edwards is faster, better link up play, better dribbling, higher game IQ, and he can run all game. Why are we wasting valuable spots on these u22 reject fullbacks. After this season or the sprint season we need to get rid of them and have our homegrown heros to start. Atlanta has a top 5 academy in the Americas, we need to start utilizing it.
