Welcome, everybody, to the post-de Boer era of Atlanta United.
This evening gives us our first view of the Five Stripes in a month since the three loss flame-out in the MLS is Back Tournament. Now, with new players and a new (interim) coach, a new look ATL migrates out of the bubble and into regional regular season games for the next three weeks.
In a sense, this is the third “season opener” of 2020. It’s hard to look back on the 2-1 victory up in Nashville back in February as being this year, doesn’t it? And that July fever dream seems like it belongs somewhere else entirely.
