Atlanta United’s Leagues Cup debut was one to forget, but all isn’t lost - yet, at least. The Five Stripes have a shot at redemption when it hosts Liga Mx side Cruz Azul Saturday in the final group stage outing in what pretty much has come down to a play-in game for the Round of 16.
Cruz Azul is one of Mexico’s big four clubs, but it’s most known for its impressive and repeated feat of losing spectacularly in the last moment, or just generally choking. In fact, it’s done that so much that there’s even a verb for it - Cruzazulear.
