What? No they aren't. They didn't even advance past the first round.

Defense played their balls off.


Columbus was carving them up on almost every attack, could have easily had like 5 goals.

The season overall was good all things considered but in the end this team underachieved.

United reportedly are wanting to smash the MLS transfer record for 18-year-old Ezequiel Barco from Independente in Argentina.

I don't know much about him other than he's an 89 (!!!) in potential on FIFA.

quote:

Cesar Lusi Merlo, a news producer with TyC Sports in Argentina has tweeted out that Atlanta United are willing to pay a $14 million transfer fee for 18-year-old center attacking midfielder Ezequiel Barco from Independiente in the Argentine Primera Division.

Merlo says that Atlanta are willing to pay the fee, a sum that would smash the current top transfer fee ever paid by an MLS club. He also says that Independiente would allow the player to leave, but that it’s Barco who holds all the cards to allow the deal to happen.

Barco is a highly rated prospect in world soccer. FourFourTwo listed him at No. 17 in their Top 100 teenagers in the world in 2017. He has been tenuously linked to clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan and Zenit St. Petersburg in the past.

He's easily one of the best players in manager mode. I've seen highlights of him. Absolutely rapid. Great dribbler.

Barco just scored a pen in the semis of the Sudamericana.

Good to see this guy actually exists, especially since he doesn't have a real face in FIFA.
