Is it crazy to think Garza should probably be the starting LB for the USMNT?

It's perfect, really. Uncle Arthur bought a franchise and didn't half-arse anything.

Put the right people in charge. World-class manager. Excellent facilities. Designated players that can actually play beautiful attacking soccer instead of being old guys looking for one more paycheck. And the fans have turned all the way up in ticket sales and early excitement. I don't really see this fading away.

ETA: And it doesn't really matter in how the team does on the field, but I love how this club is embracing Atlanta's rap culture. It's a good vibe.

It has the best fan support in the ATL.

If Kann just catches a shot right into his hands instead of fumbling it resulting in a corner, I have 100% confidence we come out of that game with a win.

Maybe it's bias but normally if I'd watch a little of an MLS match I'd be thinking "these guys suck" the whole time. But our team seems to have some quality


Its the South Americans (coach and players).

You know what they say, if the boner lasts more than 4 hours, call your doctor.

This, all day. The passes were crisp, the movement off the ball was fun to watch. I agree with what someone else posted. Typical MLS games, I'm yelling at the screen for people to make runs, after watching the PL, I got spoiled. These guys are making those runs and its tearing defenses apart.

Same. Heading back to Birmingham now. Had a hell of a time, was really fun. So proud to see the Dirty South embrace soccer finally!

It may be because he is on loan, but I will be contacting our retail department. It is silly to not have Josef Martinez kits. Would not mind Parkhurst or maybe Asad either.

I tweeted the main account about it at full time. It got some RTs and likes, so maybe they'll listen.

It is a Fanatics decision (the external retailer), not the organizations, but I think there will be a push.

They sell McCann jerseys. Martinez has to be due.

I am very aware haha. I almost feel like the merchandise sold was based more on when the player was signed (McCann and Jones were early signings). I wish this was my battle.

Do we know if he had to change numbers when they announced the whole "Fans are #17" thing? Wonder if that has anything to do with it.

The decision is very much based on the potential of lost revenue and Not sellable merchandise. Fanatics would prefer to have fewer options of players with last names.
