I blame Romario Williams. In the first 56 minutes he had failed to finish any of his 4 shots. Then, in the 79th minute he falls onto a ball that ends up in the net, thereby condemning us all to an additional 30 minutes of torture.
Yes, this Open Cup game played in front of the smallest crowd in Atlanta United history will not be going down as a classic. It was largely tedious, and at times embarrassing to watch.
That being said, this was not Atlanta’s A team, which should under any circumstances be able to handle a USL team with relative ease.
