We’re back, ladies and gentlemen! Three long months after Zack Steffen’s heroics ended their MLS Cup dreams, Atlanta United returns to the field today to prepare for their sophomore season.
The first of four warm-up games see the Five Stripes visit First Tennessee Park and new USL expansion (soon to be MLS) side Nashville SC. This will be the first opportunity for fans to see the most of the team’s new and exciting acquisitions in action. Ezequiel Barco and Darlington Nagbe will almost assuredly play at least a half with Tata Martino’s first-choice XI.
