We all know that Atlanta United has looked like a much different team than the one that started the season so poorly under former head coach Gabriel Heinze. So much so that many people, including yours truly, aren’t counting this team out of going on a run in the playoffs and finishing the season with an MLS Cup.
I know, that sounds crazy. The team is in 5th place in the Eastern Conference (a big improvement from where they sat in 8th place just days ago!) and they’ll be fortunate to earn a home playoff game.
