It’s hard to escape Atlanta United these days, especially after they went and won the stinking MLS Cup in their second year as a club.
Annoying as it is to see a much younger conference rival accomplish so much in such a short period of time, there are already signs that all the attention the team has garnered could pay off for other teams in the league as well. Possibly even for the Philadelphia Union.
One indication of this came during a media conference call with new Union striker Sergio Santos last week.
