Little wet out there in the ATL. Here's a local resident they interviewed on the news who's just trying to get to and from work just like everyone else
Ozzie Alonso signing is sort of in the Jeff Larentowicz mold for
#ATLUTD
. MLS veteran that provides a wealth of experience and is a proven winner (1x MLS Cup, 4x Open Cup, 1x Supporters' Shield). He won't play 30+ games but won't need to, really. Smart signing.
Anton Walkes last night when I asked him if watching Josef and Pity in attack seemed a bit similar to 2017 at times. "Clearly we've got some d**k in us in terms of our attacking options."
I promise I'm not making this up. I had to listen repeatedly to make sure.

for extending its postgame all the way to midnight this evening. Investment in
#ATLUTD
coverage you don't find in many large markets.
Alex De John said that Miles Robinson’s reaction to being named captain before the match was essentially “Alright, let’s go.”
“He’s not a man of many words but he’s a leader by example…You just vibe off his energy on the field.”
#ATLUTD
What a match. I was skeptical but it lived up to its billing.
#ATLUTD
had a chance to make a statement and did it tonight.
I think I like
#CampeonesCup
now.
Jeff Larentowicz brought up a good point during the call: Players are human beings first and foremost. If fans enjoy the games and the players that play them, they need to take the time to listen when players speak out about social issues.
#ATLUTD
Emily Sonnett called the Mercedes-Benz Stadium “electric” and said it was “awesome” getting a chance to play back in her hometown.
“Awesome seeing how women’s soccer has grown. Having that support in your hometown is unmatched.”
#USWNT
Gonzalo Pineda in the room. “It’s not about my first victory. It’s about these three points that were important for the club…This is a reward for them [and] the fans.”
#ATLUTD
#ATLUTD
interim head coach Rob Valentino: "It's the start of seeing their hard work come together. I'm so proud of them."
Says he's trying hard to enjoy the moment while already thinking toward LAFC. "I just need to relax and enjoy it."
Dax McCarty clearly upset after the match. “Two out of three teams advance and we can’t win a game. It’s a disgrace…
“It’s been the same problems that have plagued us all year…a lot has to change.” Said everyone needs to take a look in the mirror and take stock.

Said it repeatedly. There’s probably few coaches in MLS that were as kind and accommodating with the media as Gonzalo Pineda. Loved covering him.
That said, his position with the club became untenable. Atlanta United needed to make a move. Now we wait to see who’s next.
My fear is that
#ATLUTD
fans will reject this move since it's a departure from what the club usually does, but Gonzalo Pineda certainly deserves a chance.
They could have done much worse than hiring the top assistant from one of the model clubs in MLS, that's for sure.
Atlanta United will appoint Seattle assistant Gonzalo Pineda as its next head coach.
A quick headline on what Pineda will bring to ATL and his initial challenges. w/

Alan Koch just announced
@fccincinnati
has acquired LB Greg Garza 200k GAM & 250K TAM from Atlanta. Garza was highly sought after as an attacking defender on the left side.
Just thinking how fortunate
#ATLUTD
fans will be 5-10 years from now as they remember they got to see Thiago Almada up close and personal on a regular basis
Gabriel Heinze: "What my players showed me today is something we've been asking for since we started. I'd be telling you the same thing if they lost because of what they showed me...that they didn't put their heads down.
"They kept trying and fighting."

Saba is the clear MOTM tonight for Atlanta United but Stian Gregersen and Derrick Williams barely put a foot wrong. Limited the Inter Miami attack and held strong despite Miami inevitably turning up the heat. Solid performance for them both.
Anton Walkes move came out of nowhere. Rumblings this AM said he was wanting a move back to MLS. Good to see him back with
#ATLUTD
as it's a player that's familiar with the club already and can help the young defenders like George Campbell and George Bello along.

Luiz Araujo has been almost a complete non-factor in this

match, which is probably what you don't want from one of the highest-paid players in MLS
🚨 Antoine Griezmann is available for €15m this summer because of a clause in his contract. 😳🇫🇷📋💰

This is, literally, the first time in my life I've even semi-rooted for the Yankees, if not for the sheer chaos it would cause NYCFC to scramble to find somewhere to play its playoff games
#NYCFC
playoff games at Yankee Stadium? Not a guarantee. Should the Yankees reach the league championship series, Game 5 is scheduled for Oct. 17. Game 6 Oct. 19, Game 7 Oct. 20.
#MLS
1st round games scheduled for Oct. 19-20.
Atlanta United decidió dar a préstamo a Pity Martínez. Como el DT Frank De Boer no lo tiene entre sus prioridades, si aparece un club que abone un elevado monto están dispuestos a cederlo.

Giannis is 7 feet tall with a better touch than most american college strikers. I hate the “freak” tag but my lord. Is there anything more apt for this man???

beat the brakes off the Revs 4-1
Wasn’t the 7-0 from the inaugural season, but a heck of a way to kick off the 2024 home schedule
Oh, and Giorgios Giakoumakis had his first MLS hat trick
George Bello said that he didn't know he was going in before getting called upon. Called it a great feeling. Said that older players like Parkhurst have provided great leadership in his development and growth.

The outpouring of support from around the league regarding the Josef Martinez injury - not just from players, but from clubs as well - speaks volumes as to how much he means not just to Atlanta, but to MLS as a whole.
Luiz Araujo officially listed as questionable for

I feel like someone needs to hear this today, but leaving an Atlanta United game early doesn't make you a bad fan
Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Little nugget from Carlos Bocanegra in the team release is that it's a long-term contract. A la Josef, could prove handy if/when Pity makes his next move...

I asked Gonzalo Pineda on what he’s learned from Brian Schmetzer.
“Brian is a fantastic mentor for me…The most important value he provided to me is off the field and how he treats people, how he thinks of the (person) before the soccer player.”
Josef didn't fully disclose what he wanted to see in next coach but said it's up to Darren Eales and Carlos Bocanegra to decide who it is. "What's important to me is the health and the joy in the locker room...just to bring the joy back to the city and to our players."
#ATLUTD
Newcastle United, who were fighting to stay up much of last season, are in the top 4 this year. Miguel Almiron, at worst, could be playing Champions League football in 23-24. What a turnaround 🤯
