Atlanta United FC vs Columbus Crew 3-1 Loss - 3 Game Losing Streak Away. The Atlanta United team under Deila is a mess. The coaching has not figured out the problem and thus can't implement the solutions to fix it. Get Abram off the field. Get Lennon off the field. Tell defenders to mark up and defend.

Back to back 3-0 Losses followed up by a sad 1-1 Home Draw. A terrible run for Atlanta United. Can they turn the ship on the road vs a poor Chicago Fire. Will Deila drop Abram for good and give us a chance? We talk about it all.

The back line is still the issue and by that we mean Abram. The mistakes we are making are different than the era under Pineda, and the outcomes seem like they must change for the better. We talk about it all, but we are frustrated with the current results even if they are unlucky.

A required comeback from Atlanta United FC to get the win 4-3 over NYCFC. We can score some goals, but the individual mistakes were really poor. Will Ronnie Deila make a change for Williams who had a shambolic game? Will we see Cobb or Edwards as a centerback, we hope so vs Dallas FC. We talked about it all.

Atlanta United FC are starting off with poor results 1-2-2, but the team is attacking and dangerous. The stats are looking okay and when we give up goals, people are making mistakes vs the system and tactics being the root cause. The ATL ON FIRE crew is still not worried, and feels we are going to go on a run with stronger results. Time will tell.

Atlanta United FC agree to terms that bring back Miguel Almrion from Newcastle United. Deal still lingers with Emmanuel Latte Lath who was injured in his last game with Middlesbrough F.C. We are excited about 2025, but not having all our DPs and starters ready for game one is disappointing. We'll talk about it all.

The current state of Atlanta United FC, 10th in the East - No Coach, No GM, No Technical Director, No Hope.

The supporter groups were rocking on Saturday, but the energy from the team did not match up.

Atlanta United FC have only 1 win in our last 12 games. Another home disappointment as we dropped the lead in the 89th minute at home. Rob Valentino is not our long-term solution. The 2024 season is quickly going down the drain.

Gonzalo Pineda sacked after 1 win in the last 11 games. Rob Valentino will step up as the interim coach (again). What do we want from a future coach?

Atlanta United FC Loss (1-0) vs Cincinnati, Draw (1-1) vs Nashville SC. Open Cup Draw vs Charleston Battery (0-0) Josh Cohen Saves us in PKs

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.

Three game recap as Atlanta United grabs 2 wins at home but proves they still look weak on the road, as we got lucky to get a draw vs DC United. We'll talk about it all, grading Pineda (still not good), players, and what's up with Messi?

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.

Atlanta United FC Show lack of stability and drop 2 straight, including a home game against Orlando City. Pineda has yet to show any ideas up front outside of Miguel Berry. The rumors swirl in the transfer window. Will we win our Leagues Cup opener in Miami vs Messi? Women's World Cup talk, you betcha! We talk all things soccer, so buckle up!

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 had to be done in PKs. Neymar Jr. to MLS NYCFC? Women's World Cup is only 2 weeks away. The Leagues Cup starts soon too.. We'll talk about it all. Well, most of it...

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 gives himself a chance, go Tyler go! The home game against the Red Bulls was down right horrific and should have fans worried for the mid-table position we could see in the fall.

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 Cards needs some common sense, and it was disappointing to see these teams playing a man down for no considerable reason.
