Guest Cannabis Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The season begins tonight (3rd March 2017) with Portland Timbers taking on new franchise team Minnesota United. All discussion relating to the true game of football played across the pond should take place here. With 22 teams in the league (including two brand new ones) who will you be backing?

Eco Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Excited for this for the first time in my life. Wife and I got season tickets to Atlanta United, with the first game being Sunday afternoon against New York RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Tough loss at 2-1 against the Red Bulls last night. Absolutely dominated for the first 70 minutes, but didn't put away enough chances and gave up 2 awful chances, that the NY RB took advantage of. Attendance for the game was over 55,000 people! Great to have the MLS in Atlanta - Here are some pics - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Just now, Cannabis said: Fantastic post that Ubuntu, thanks for posting the scores and table too (it'll make the MLS a lot easier to follow for us English). A 2-1 loss isnt too shabby considering what happened with Minnesota, you'll be winning in no time! Surprised to see defending champions Seattle lose at Houston, I didn't see that coming! Cheers - Yeah my wife and I have season tickets so I'm going to have to pay more attention to the MLS. Atlanta's owner is Arthur Blank (co-found of Home Depot, owner of the Atlanta Falcons), so he spent a pretty penny with this squad and people are suggesting that this may be a playoff team (yes, once the season is over, we do playoffs). We are young and should have gotten something more out of last night. Two missed chances on clear break aways is what did us in, and we let NYRB stay in the game. Next Up for us is Minnesota so this weekend should be a good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Haven't heard any updates about Tim. I'm waiting for Brad Guzan to come to us as our Keeper was one of the weak spots in the loss against RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 1 minute ago, Cannabis said: Minnesota are having a nightmare start to MLS, a 5-1 whipping in their first game and they're now 1-0 down inside 2 minutes of the Atlanta game. To be fair, found out they had an MLS team in August of last year, we found out 2 years ago. We paid a lot of money for players, Minnesota was late to game. I predict them to have just a nightmare year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Wow - They are have to take a stoppage timeout so that they can clear the lines since the snow is coming down so quickly. This could be a long game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 6-1 ATL! Minnesota's defense is absolutely awful. We were literally passing it without pressure inside their 18. Taylor Twellmen is absolutely lighting them up on ESPN right now. I didn't get Gerber giving Minnesota the opportunity, but this is embarrassing. And it's over. 6-1 Atlanta United!
