The international break has come and gone. While many of us suffered through the misery of watching our national team attempt to play soccer, it was a necessary sacrifice to make sure the Atlanta United squad rested and freshened up for the vital final six-match stretch of the regular season.
The Supporters’ Shield has been pretty much wrapped up by LAFC, but the No. 1 seed in the East is still very much attainable despite the disappointing result in Philadelphia last time out. If Atlanta find a way to win all of their final six matches, they will secure that spot.
