It. Is. Here. The day we’ve all dreamed about since the possibility of an MLS expansion franchise in Atlanta sprouted is here. Atlanta United is playing in MLS Cup in Atlanta. Pinch me. All that stands between the Five Stripes and a place in history is the Portland Timbers.
Projections say over 73,000 people will be in attendance for the Cup decider. Who could’ve imagined that MLS would have this type of spectacle in the South? Hopefully the match lives up to the billing.
When the opening whistle blows, the odds and predictions will be thrown out the window.
