Know Your Enemy: Atlanta United

Ah yes, high-scor... always win... big spending (that one is still true) Atlanta United.

The defending champs have a single goal through two matches and just spent 90 minutes pouring crosses into expansion side FC Cincinnati's eighteen yard box. New head coach Frank de Boer has yet to unlock the considerable talents of Pity Martinez and Ezequiel Barco up front and he can't quite put together enough structure to keep a clean sheet. As a result, the Five Stripes have a single point through two matches and are on the verge of being dumped out of Concacaf Champions League by Monterrey.
