Maverick Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) If you like hockey, then soccer shouldn't be too bad. Sports that build up up to a goal are much better live and in person rather than watching on TV. However, we do have great soccer bars in Atlanta if you're in the area. When the BPL (England) starts back up, soccer bars such as Fado, Meehan's Downtown, Brewhouse Cafe, etc all show the games in the morning, which gives people an excuse to drink on Saturday mornings.Zone 7; I see you are a LFC fan. Meehan's Downtown is where the LFC Supporters Club of Atlanta meets for every Premier League game if you're in the area and interested.

AF89 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Don't care for the name. Feels like they just went with a corporate white wash after their focus groups or whatever came up empty. Terminus FC would have been awsome but Walking Dead kind of ruined the name. Should've just shortened it to Atlanta FC. United FC is just silly and nonsensical. What is it we're uniting? We're neither uniting multiple clubs or multiple cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) I guess it's supposed to "unite" Atlanta? Technically, it would be uniting ATL as in the whole metro area, which has different city names for all cities involved. That's my best guess. Speaking of being repetitive, Arsenal FC, Liverpool FC, NYC FC, FC Dallas, Toronto FC, etc, leaving just the FC would still fall into the class of repetitiveness.

AF89 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 At least we didn't go with "Real". Unless there's a King of Utah I don't know about who bestowed a royal charter or something along those lines to the team in Salt Lake City there's nothing remotely "royal" about your MLS team. It's a pure case of appropriating Spanish league for brand recognition in a way that makes no sense.Unless of course their differentiating themselves from "fake" Salt Lake.... in which case touche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they formed a "partnership" with Real Madrid to somewhat build their reputation, which just made the whole situation more lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The name Atlanta United just came out of Manchester United same with DC United etc. etc. @ MAverick I'm not close to the area lol well..........technically I'm in Athens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much Atlanta, even though it is a diverse city (but that can be said for many other cities as well). Terminus FC sounds pretty good (wonder who came up with that?), and I would have been fine with Atlanta FC (Atlanta is a pretty nice name in itself). Atlanta United...is just blah. Has no ring or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has no ring or anything.Terminus is one of the original names of the city before Atlanta. I'm not a gigantic fan of the name either, but I can live with it. It's much less corny to go this route rather than for example, Atlanta Firebirds FC. It's just better to have a traditional name for the club then have the fans come up with a secondary name.

In fact I'd rather see Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad ending at a tie. Then watch Minnesota vs 76ers or Knicks, or Lakers, or Bobcats or.......................

Snafu Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I dont find soccer boring at all. The only sports I find more exciting are Football and maybe MMA.Baseball and Basketball are infinitely more boring, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only sports I find more exciting are Football and maybe MMA.Baseball and Basketball are infinitely more boring, IMO.Baseball is only so boring cause time length, and it's sad cause in the early part of the 2000's or late 90's wasn't the game only like 2 hours long. Basketball is a whole different beast in of itself. I've had more fun watching the hawks this pass season then I did for awhile. Team play is better than ISO play, and I think that's how most feel. It doesn't help that game has slowed down because of ticky tack calls, and in my opinion one too many timeouts to. Plus as others have stated before the state of the NBA right now they need to stretch out the games, and drop at least 5-15 games. Unless the talent picks up just comparing the NFL to NBA every year a team that did bad comes back to form the next. You only have a few teams in NFL that are annual losers like Jacksonville.
