Prekrap: Atlanta United at Portland Timbers - I was right

This has been a strange season for the Atlanta United Football Club. The team went through periods of looking awful, a time when patience was preached and eventually the team looked a little better. It still didn’t look right - not allowing goals but not scoring goals isn’t what Atlanta United is all about. Frank de Boer thought otherwise and seemed to even get some traction with his philosophy before the Gold Cup/Copa America break.

After the summer vacation though, the bottom fell out of the boat. The team started losing games and dropping leads, the players seemed unhappy, and the manager didn’t really seem like he knew what to do about it.
