Eco Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 Penalty kick to Atlanta! Josef and Pity causing a lot of issues for Vancouver, and Pity is ran over in the box. Up next, Josef for a PK.
Eco Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 1-0 at Halftime. Atlanta are totaling dominating all facets of this game, yet it remains 1-0. Vancouver don't have any shots, and without that clumsy tackle from Vancouver in the box, Atlanta have yet to create an open play goal.
Eco Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 Save of the year there from Vancouver. Villalba had a breakaway that was blocked, follow up by Pity was also punched, and the direct header from Josef was caught by the keeper. Atlanta need to be careful, and that just got a lot of energy in the stadium, which they haven't had since early.
Eco Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 Justin Meram is coming off. Congrats to him on his first Atlanta United match. Gressel on and now we are 4x more dangerous.
Eco Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 ANOTHER point blank save from Vancouver's keeper. We are going to really be pissed if we drop any points here.
Eco Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 And that's it! Atlanta wins 1-0. It got a little rough at the end, but that's a massive 3 points considering the amount of talent we rested. And it's the first time in MLS history that a team has had 5 consecutive shutouts. Vamos Atlanta!
Administrator Stan Posted May 16, 2019 Administrator Posted May 16, 2019 Had no idea Florentin Pogba moved to Atlanta! Thought he was alright in Ligue 1.

Nope - he has been with Atlanta 2 since joining us a few months ago, but with all the traveling, they decided to give him the nod to start. I'll be honest in saying that outside the deadly combo of Josef, Villalba, & Pity, Pogba might have been the best player last night.

Yeah - I'm pretty sure it's what they do post game after a win. I rather enjoy it myself.
Eco Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 Red card for Red Bulls for a tackle on the last man. Easy call
Eco Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 And despite being a man down, New York RB have scored in the counter. Atlanta down 1-0
Eco Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 That was poor from everyone. Losing a game when having a man advantage for an hour is just pitiful.
Eco Posted May 20, 2019 Author Posted May 20, 2019 LAFC draw late thanks for a penalty by Vela in the 80' minute.

Eco Posted May 23, 2019 Author Posted May 23, 2019 Wow - Vancouver scores a goal...and it might be their first shot on goal... Red Bulls have been dominating but luckily the Whitecaps score on the break.
Eco Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 Losing again, this time against RSL. Fairly impressed with De Boer as he gave his interview in Spanish and English.
Eco Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 ...and somehow we give up a goal in the 94th minute when there was 2 minutes of extra time, with no stoppages after the 90 minutes...FFS
