ATL ON FIRE - Fans of Atlanta United FC

Atlanta United FC have a great performance vs Philadelphia Union at home 2-0. Travel to Montreal and get another three points winning 1-0.  Silly season just got plain silly with Franco Ibarra being traded overnight to stay roster compliant. Regardless of the cold hard decisions that need to be made, it's clear our FO communications are simply awful.  USMNT beat Canada in Gold Cup Quarterfinal but...

Atlanta United FC draw at home vs a struggling NYCFC. Yes, Atlanta was missing starters due to the International call ups, but Pineda still can’t adjust to get the necessary wins at home and his lack of ideas starts with Miguel Berry who continually gets minutes up front. Tyler Wolff get’s his goal to minutes ratio up but missed a few sitters. Regardless, Wolff gets into the right positions and gi...

Atlanta United draw 3-3 vs New England at home, then travel to LAFC to get a 0-0 draw, and return home to beat DC United 3-1.  We are halfway through the MLS season, and we'll talk about it all. Of course, that includes the GOAT Messi coming to MLS, set to Join Inter Miami in the summer.  The stadiums will be packed, and Leo might be taking this league from 4.0 to 5.0 very quickly. Vamos!

Atlanta United only managed to take 1 point vs Orlando City on the road with a 1-1 draw. GG, Almada, Miles got the start and we had healthy players, but couldn't get a win.  We'll talk about it all and Dave has done more research. How about we talk MLS refs and VAR, sure, we'll do it. We'll also get into promotion and relegation in the EPL and perhaps some USMNT / US Soccer happenings.

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 Car...

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.

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....

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,...

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.

We talk about the season ending Press Conference with Gonzalo Pineda and Carlos Bocanegra. We review the starting lineups and formations through the 2022 season and why Pineda clearly picked favorites over "talent" and basic coaching logic.  We had diversity and injuries, but it was not an excuse for the team finishing at the bottom of the eastern conference table.
