@jwriddle_ 💯 the team checked out mid season and he could see the writing on the wall. Him leaving and Almada's sale was the beginning of the end of elite players in this roster.

@MikeConti929 Kind of like when Tom Brady throws an interception. Fans know they wouldn't be there without him and he will be needed later in the game. Hard to boo/whistle a legend.

@MikeConti929 We missed the WC in 2018. We lost to superior European clubs in 2022 (Netherlands #6) and 2026 (Belgium #8). Disappointed we couldn't pull off the upset but we can see the gap now and it's up to USSF to close it for 2030.

@rjchoppy I'd move to Augusta and wear a cold vest all day.

@ScarvesNSpikes @ATLPilgrim Great article @ATLPilgrim - I could argue the best defense can be great offense. We desperately need finishers on both wings - goals change game state. If we were giving up leads or losing 5-4 shootouts then obv defense is the solution. But you can't win if you don't score...

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@aufcXylph Or are MLS defenders just that much better? Hard to explain how they forget how to score when they get here.

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@ScarvesNSpikes We scored last week on a corn...

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@aufcXylph We should have a lien on the player so we can repo him back to Atlanta. Instead we have to get blood from a dry rock...

@HAHiguita So essentially Messi is grossly overpaid for his production? LOL

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@ScarvesNSpikes My comment is "finish your chances" - story of the last 2 seasons for ATLUTD.

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@TommyATL96 Shhh...they are trying to pump up ELL's value.

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@ScarvesNSpikes Are they slow playing his return with an eye on his WC aspirations? I wouldn't be mad - it's a once in a lifetime opportunity for him to represent Paraguay.

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@MikeConti929 That's lame - no additional suspension for grabbing Jay's neck? Should have been an additional match as it was not accidental.

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@SoccerwithDoug I wonder if a lot of the traveling supporters are staying with extended family/friends? Especially for those teams that play in multiple cities during the group stage it might make sense to rent an RV or use Airbnb.

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@JoshPateCFB Notre Dame and SMU will both be undefeated when they meet on 11/21.

@HAHiguita @TommyATL96 If he does you can take credit for the emergence. #hotwingmotivations

@SoccerDownHere "They're going to be uncles" - what a great testament to how this team is growing together and demonstrating a unity off the pitch that they seemed to lack before now. And hopefully we see it continue to grow on the pitch leading to better results.

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@jocoolwu @SoccerwithDoug In MLS correct? Didn't Saba get one in Leagues Cup?

[Chris Levine @cklevine]

@ATLPilgrim I've seen this movie before - dominate possession, can't convert and then the other team gets 1 breakaway late and steals it.
