We have a weather alert here at Truist Park with thunderstorms in the area
I asked Miguel Almiron about the players that are here and if he sees the desire and will to win across everyone in the locker room.
Miguel Almiron: "This is an issue we've been dealing with for a long time, so I think everyone has to just look at themselves and be able to handle the responsibilities, starting with myself, of course."
Atlanta United assistant coach Rodrigo Rios on what changed from Wednesday: "We created a lot with the ball, but defensively, we couldn't recover the ball as we did the previous game."
Had to address some of the chatter about Cooper Sanchez and him not being released to the U.S. U-19s until after today’s match against New England
TIL Carles Gil has 5g/7a in 13 matches against Atlanta United ‼️ Here's how that measures up to other teams in MLS:
Had a chance to ask Cooper Sanchez earlier about the relationship he has with his oldest brother, Dennis, currently the head coach of @newmexicoutd.bsky.social in the USL Championship.
Tata Martino confirms Matt Edwards is available for tomorrow's match. No Elias Baez (yellow-card accumulation) On Wednesday's match at Charlotte FC, "I wanted the team to keep playing the same way. The difference in the match was our effectiveness."
Cooper Sanchez says "as of right now" he is set to join U.S. U-19 team for Concacaf U-20 after Saturday's match but "that could change". "Right now, it's staying focused on (Atlanta United)" until he heads down to Mexico.
Emmanuel Latte Lath NOT in the team for Atlanta United tonight against Charlotte FC 🚨
Not as good as Jesse Marsch in the group stage but... We have a new entrant in the "GIF of the World Cup" contest
What a night for DR Congo. Last trip to World Cup was in 1974 as Zaire and they failed to win a match. Now through to the knockout stages in 2026. Imagine hating the sport of soccer
On World Cup media call, Stu Holden calls Chris Richards "the most important player in the ( #USMNT ) back line over the last two years." "I'm not as confident that the partners for (Tim) Ream between (Mark) McKenzie and Miles Robinson are anywhere near the same level."
🚨 Florentino Perez: "The official €150m bid will NOT be for Jurgen Damm. It's not him" ❌
Tata Martino said first 30 minutes were too passive and that Atlanta United "lacked intensity" to deal with Crew attack. Last 15 minutes were "better' but couldn't find attacking space. "In the second half, we were a team that looked like we wanted to find the protagonism again."
Atlanta United's starting XI vs. the Columbus Crew is out. Luke Brennan gets just his second start in MLS play this season. Juan Berrocal in the XI for potentially the final time. Latte Lath is out with an illness. Matias Galarza (as reported) not with the club with his loan set to expire.
Fafa Picault honored before the match for his 250th MLS appearance last week vs. CF Montreal.
