I dont know how I feel about RSL not being in the same conference as the Rapids… I guess the rivalry is over anyway???
Dynamo could try to get Dominic Kinear because he knew what he was doing back when he was in charge
Matt Jordan is garbage… He literally didn't answer 90% of the questions he was giving… IDGAF about diversity, and neither does Houston, we want the team to win!
As long as the television networks don't make the Timbers-Flounders play 3 times a year cuz, reasons, do whatever Wiebe. And get Sacramento added for needed western balance.
I know I'm biased as an ATLUTD fan, but Charlie Davies seems like he just can't stop making me a fan of his by promoting two of my faves with Nagbe and Robinson.
Those two guys are underrated AF, but I'm OK with that – easier to sneak them in on you…
It's easy for opponents to try to double or triple team guys like J. Martinez, E. Barco, and Pity, but that just leaves more space for Nagbe to play out to Meram and Gressel – not that Nagbe NEEDS space since he excels in working in a phone booth, but I'm sure he appreciates it when he gets it.
Miles Robinson, though, is a guy to watch. He's taller than you, faster than you, and knows what you're going to do before you do.
I've said many times that Brad Guzan probably tucks Miles into bed each night and reads him a bedtime story – if that's what Miles wants.
I love all my ATL players, but with Robinson central, Nagbe DM, and Gressel way out on the right, the rest of our team can do it's job.
Wow that interview shows why dynamo are in such a state. More focused on making sure the team has “diversity” and reflects the population when they should just be signing the best players possible regardless of origin.
Because we still dont have papi ochoa
Miami-Pit bull… Dale!!
it's crazy how disrespected atlanta united players are with their national teams. like we have so many argentine players as well but they barely get chances with their National team. maybe it's due to MLS scheduling or quality of the league but that argentina squad is currently very subpar. im surprised LGP, Pity, remedi don't get chances.
Will Smith- Miami
Agree on the Chicago Fire. I call it as I see it. terrible on the road. team is constructed poorly. sad to say this but its true. out of the playoffs!
is Paunovic in trouble in Chicago, given he has achieved less than Cabrera in Houston?
Less than 7 minutes is how long it takes for David to get on his knees and start sucking off the Red Bulls. He doesn't even hide it anymore.
This game should be playing in a neutral stadium 🏟 the Mexican team travel here plus play with a artificial grass . Plus Atlanta United stadium 🏟 …
Story off the top is about Thierry Henry!
