Atlanta United FC

At least he'll be fresh for the back half of the season.

 

Yeah I believe that was in Tata's statement that they want him healthy for the after the break in August.

 

Jesus christ, I hope this won't be a consistent issue with Martinez.

 

I mean it kind of already is.

 

Well like Sean Weatherspoon "I can't stay healthy for more than 6 games in a season" kind of an issue.

 

He's only played in 9 of 20 games so far. Did he have a history of injuries before coming over?

 

24 days at the end of 2015 and then 19 days back in 2012.

 

5

 

What did I miss?

 

Out again with a foot contusion

 

How the fuck do we have possession for like 95% of the time and we're down 0-1

 

Can someone that gets soccer explain to me What our strategy seems to be on corners and why we seem to do what no one else does?

I believe we have the least amount of corner goals in MLS, Right? Are we too short? Don't have someone who can kick it Right? Both?

 

Would Jossef be playing Asad's spot? That guy isnt playing well

 

Should have been a penalty on Spector. Bad tackle in the box on Garza.

 

Commentators saying to wasn't a penalty.

I disagree. Just because the shot is away you can't tackle a guy

 

Wooooooooooooooooo

VILLALBA

 

Great job getting a point in a game where we weren't very sharp. Even when this team isn't on their game they are still fun to watch.

 

Getting no points was going to be extremely disappointing considering how much we controlled possession if that game.

Asad missing a wide open net was disappointing

 

Was very disappointed in Almiron hitting it right at Bednik from Garza's cross.

Agreed. Foul and yellow card anywhere else on the field.

 

Martinez would have made these last two games so much tougher on Orlando. Glad we got a point after so many missed opportunities.

 

No, Gressel's.

 

Are all MLS refs so shitty? Seems like we get shit on all the time.

 

Couple missed handballs in the box too

 

Yeah that's what I'm referring too. That's like at least 4-5 this year they missed for us.

 

The place went nuts after Tito's goal

 

I hope the new stadium is just as loud when they don't open the whole thing. Concessions were a shit show at Bobby Dodd, but I'm going to miss that atmosphere.

 

Agreed. Concessions were a nightmare. You'd think they would have figured it out after 9 games.

Going to be interesting seeing how the crowd translates to MBS

 

I don't see MBS having an issue with fans, it'll probably be better. It's gonna be dope af. Hopefully they don't try to overuse the video board/sound. That might be the only issue

I only went to game in a suite, but saw the lines for concessions and it was pretty dumb. Glad I missed that part. The suites at MBS will also be much better and the field overall will be bigger so you can actually see the sidelines.

 

Think KC had 3 goals by 3 different players yesterday.

 

was at the game yesterday, ref was fucking horrible. Was going to be amazing if we lost that game given how bad we dominated it

 

^^^^furious Orlando fan

 

Pretty sure we would've score at least 4 goals yesterday if Josef played. We are so much more dangerous with him on the field.

 

I know right. The 5 minutes extra time was a farce.

 

Orlando ornery

 

Only need 2

 

Story of all our lives, buddy.

 

You forget the water break?

 

Hopefully Josef is back

 

Yeah it's pretty incredible how much different we look when he's not out there

 

Feel pretty confident in saying we'd be at the top of the table if he hadn't missed any time.

 

We are the team no one wants to play in the playoffs

 

Is our schedule so packed just b/c of moving games for MBS or is that how MLS always does it?

Seems like having games virtually every weekend and Wednesday for a month or more at the end of the season is kinda retarded.

 

Little bit of both. We moved 2 game bc MBS wasn't ready yet.

 

First game in MBS is sold out. Upper deck is open for that game so that's at least 71,000 people.
