Guest Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 There is no doubt here that the MLS is growing, but its still got time for it to be a bigger stepping stone than Argentina.

Spike Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 I must say Atlanta United is bucking the trend of Atlanta teams.

Eco Posted July 6, 2017 Author Posted July 6, 2017 If you haven't already, you all could do yourself good by watching an Atlanta United match. Here are the replays from this past weekend. As it stands now, we are moving up in the standings, and are comfortably in a Playoff position. MOTM was @Storts own Walkes at Right Back. Here are the current Standings in the Eastern Conference.
Eco Posted December 22, 2017 Author Posted December 22, 2017 So - Now I can keep this back up. Atlanta United were easily the most exciting team this year in the league, sadly we wore down by the end and ended up losing on PK's to Columbus in the playoffs. Of course, dropping 9 points to DC United didn't help our seeding. But onwards we go. Atlanta will be losing 3 'better' players in Asad, Lorentowicz, and Carmona. With the expansion draft, we had to lose some of our key members. In the news has been Atlanta United going out and signing Nagbe from Portland (to essentially replace Asad), and now it's being reported that we are throwing a lot of money at Independiente for 18 year old Barco.

Eco Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 Some of the best tweets in response to Miggy signing with Newcastle United.
Panna King Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Interested to see how Frank de Boer gets on as coach.

Eco Posted February 4, 2019 Author Posted February 4, 2019 So we had our first preseason match this weekend against the Sounders. We won 7-1. The rest of our preseason friendlies include: Atlanta United vs LAFC (10/02/19) LA Galaxy vs Atlanta United (12/02/19)

The traffic wasnt so bad, it was perfect time to roll blunts. As for the game experience, it was A1. Packed stadium and the beer wasnt too pricey. Expand Glad you had fun. yes, the fans here in Atlanta are the best in the MLS by far, and maybe are up there with some of the best in the world. Beer and food is cheap for both United and the Falcons, as Uncle Arthur said he wants to bring it back to a family event and not cost an arm and a leg to see a game.

Expand Go to a home game and I would bet there aren't 10 better atmospheres in the world. I've been to a lot of stadiums and I've never seen anything like it. And comparing them to traveling English fans is an idiotic comment. Alabama, home of your friend @José, is fucking larger than England, but is the 30th largest states in the U.S., so you take those English fans into a much larger territory, like the US, and it becomes too time consuming and expensive to travel.

Expand Well yes, you are right on that but I'm a big fan of English football culture. Even with the world class transport of a small country like England, I have nothing but respect for these "away fans" of England. Even if they can be very quiet and quite dull when even compared to the MLS, the numbers are there. Without a doubt, the best fans in the world are the Argentinians. Even outside of football, they are always chanting and filling up concerts, and other events. It is scary how consistent they are.

But it's also over 100 years old, which makes it even more impressive. Atlanta United is new. And as for Argentina, that's a country, and never once did I mention that Americans or the MLS has the best fans, because that would be laughable. I said Atlanta United, we are different here, and I"m not even sure how it caught on like i did (Silverbacks games had roughly 3k fans at a home match), but damn it did and now it's a wildfire. Watch videos if you want, or listen to people who've seen them play live. It's unreal.

Like I said I have respect for MLS fans given they do come in numbers despite football not being popular in the states.
