The US Men's National Team gets a 1-1 draw vs Wales. A tough PK let's us down and we only get 1 point. USA vs England is up next and Harry Kane might not be 100% or even available. Qatar Offside technology proves to work, and it works so well, we just need to agree on the definition of what body parts should define offside.. Mike gets firey on the subject.

We talk about the season ending Press Conference with Gonzalo Pineda and Carlos Bocanegra. We review the starting lineups and formations through the 2022 season and why Pineda clearly picked favorites over "talent" and basic coaching logic. We had diversity and injuries, but it was not an excuse for the team finishing at the bottom of the eastern conference table. World Cup starts in less than 30 days and we are ready for the France to lose in the first stage of knock out rounds.

One more year of Pineda coaching Atlanta United, pushing the wrong system. 2022 was a long season and 2023 is going to be even longer, because we know what we are going to get. Dave breaks down the clear mistakes we are making tactically from zone defense on corners (defensively) to leaving 1 player back on corners (offensively) to pressing our fullbacks up for no good reason. Ghhhhhrrrrr! We've talked about it all, over and over again!

We talk a lot about Atlanta United's win over Toronto FC's 4-2. It was great evening at the benz, but scary for a soccer brainiac, if you are Dave. Why play 1 man back when we are up 3-2 in the 80th min, only if you are crazy Pineda! Park the bus. No thanks he says, let's gamble the season. Purata's hattrick was worth it I guess.... Shambolic. We talk about it all.

Atlanta United 4-1 Loss to Philadelphia Union Ends Hope Even with a Win at home over DC United - Pineda must go in our opnion and he's made his bed with continual bad decisions and continual starts fo RRN. Who is driving the bus, Boca Boca? Who could even sack Gonzalo Pineda with any authority? We don't know. But we need a replacement ASAP.

Atlanta United's Playoff hopes are all but done at this point. A win over Seattle, draw to FCC and loss to New York Red Bulls make the mountain steep to get 48 points or more. Pineda does not seem to have a plan and we are not sure what the future holds, but Mike and Dave both want to get Tata back. He'll be available after the world cup. Bring back TATA. Start the chant 17s!!!

Atlanta United lose 4-0 vs Austin FC in the worst home game ever. A little hope during Real Salt Lake, but the run up to Seattle makes fans want to puke. Gonzalo Pineda keeps shifting and can't get it right.. The last 5 games produced 1 win and only 2 goals with some of the best attacking players in the MLS. We talk about it all and talk Women's Euro's, Apple TV and red wine.

Is Dom Dwyer leaving Atlanta United? If so, we toast his points and Mike Dobbs admits he's wrong? Dom provided value this season and perhaps enough to provide a trade in the summer window to get a solid defender? We don't know, this is breaking rumor news. We talk about it all including the late loss to New York Red Bulls and a late draw vs NYFC were Dom proves 4.8% of his touches on the ball produce a goal. ATLONFIRE Trivia for Dom Dwyer.
