AF89 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'm seeing New England fans complain about the ref on twitter. First off it was 1-0 like 90 secs into the game. Also those were pretty clear cut handballs, and buddy was hacking away at ankles for the first red. I could maybe quibble with 2nd red given they were already a man down and maybe you could show a little leeway but by the book it was a CLEAR unnatural impediment of a goal scoring opportunity which is a red. Edit: Actually on that first red thought I thought he was already sitting on yellow, so straight red may in fact have been questionable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.11 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Wow, 10 goals in two matches. Josef finally got his hat trick. I know it's.a different sport, but it's still a little extra satisfying to crush NE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly there's still little things they can do (temporary MNF setups, standing areas etc) that could potentially break the all time American pro soccer attendance record.

Yeah. I believe they've sold just over 69,000 tickets. Max seating capacity is 71,000. I believe max total (with standing room) is about 75k to 80k. In any case, they're well on their way to breaking a couple of attendance records. AB ought to be really proud of the work he did with United. If the US ever hosts a World Cup again or any major international soccer tournament (e.g. Copa America), Atlanta/MBS will be among the preferred destinations/venues. Not only is the team killing it (everything from getting Tata Martino as manager and the player personnel) on and off the field, the fan turnout has been nothing short of outstanding. I live in DC and I've already seen one guy in an ATLUTD jersey (besides myself). One of these days I'll head down to Atlanta again and catch a United and Falcons game in the same weekend.

If his goalkeeping wasn't so bad we would have won this game. Goalkeeping 101: always cover the near post. Didn't even challenge the ball while it was in the air for the third goal and let the guy have a clean look at goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF89 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Very exciting atmosphere today , I had fun. Another Josef hattrick, obviously some things to fix defensively but we had some guys out including Garza. Wanna see Miggy get back on the scoresheet tho I thought he looked good pushing the ball today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
