Atlanta United are a wonderful team to watch. Ever since their explosion onto the MLS scene, they have been. The raucous atmosphere outside the white lines is only matched by the blistering, ferocious manner in which they play between them. Pace, power, precision, attacking intent. They are a team full of entertainers.
But sport, while in part an entertainment business, is about more than just being able to make the crowd cheer. It is not WWE. There is a greater cause to fight for, one of winning, not wooing. And for Atlanta, they ultimately fell short of that goal last year.
