As you may or may not have heard by now Atlanta United lost 3-0 twice in a single day in Guadalajara Sunday after a week’s worth of training and against teams in which Atlanta has more than enough talent to easily handle.
With all of us foaming at the mouth to see the team we love back on the field and tearing teams apart en route to dominant victories, seeing Atlanta lose handily in winnable games seems like a huge letdown. But it’s really not. It’s nothing to be concerned about.
It would not be correct to say that the players or Gonzalo Pineda do not care at all about whether they win or lose these games — they are competitors at heart.
