Atlanta United lost another opportunity to pick up a full three points. Having played nearly half the game with a man advantage, Gonzalo Pineda was unable to produce a critical road win that was on a plate for the taking. Dave seems to have a moment of clarity, looking back at his notes this season. Mike is still in shock Miguel Berry got the start. MLS refs need to get a grip. Giving out Red Cards needs some common sense, and it was disappointing to see these teams playing a man down for no considerable reason.

The losing streak ends against Colorado 4-0, but we also will recap the Miami Loss where Josef Martinez get's a brace and a loss to Charlotte FC's where Justin Miram scores a brace. While the team played with intensity, the same issues still seem to be lurking. Luis Araujo is headed back to Brazil. If Almada also goes in the summer, we'll have 2 DP slots open. Bocanegra better have some options lined up.

Tennessee soccer teams beat up on Atlanta United FC. A shocking loss to Memphis FC at Kennesaw in the US Open Cup, it was painful and embarrassing. Three days later, Atlanta couldn't win without Giorgos Giakoumakis, losing 3-1 on the road. Pineda might have this team in third place in the Eastern Conference, but this team is not performing well or to its full potential.

A perfect day in Atlanta, the roof was open at the Benz. We took all three points, but the game was hardly a pretty sight. Giorgos Giakoumakisgets gets his 5th straight goal in 5 games, and maybe 5 yellow cards but who’s counting those? He's on fire, and hopefully not injured. The Greek is for real. However; the rest of the team’s performance was lacking. Pineda continues to fly his airplanes. We'll talk about it all.

Three game recap of Atlanta United's last three games. A win over New Yew York Red Bulls 1-0 at home in #ATLUTD’s first regular season victory over NYRB. A 1-1 draw vs NYCFC on the road, and another 2-2 draw vs Toronto FC that felt like a loss as we gave up a goal in the final minute of extra time. Giorgos Giakoumakis gets a muscle injury and comes out of the game. He’s had 4 starts and 4 goals, maybe 4 yellow cards too, the the X factor we need up front.
