I touched Dax's head once. I haven't washed in a year because of it.

Smart move. Your virility has increased exponentially I am sure.

The subtle/faded star pattern underneath the white stars is a nice touch.
Can't wait to see the home kit.

That's a fitting post number 10,000 in this thread.

Atlanta United continue their inaugural preseason journey today as they face MLS side Columbus Crew SC in the first match of the 2017 Carolina Challenge Cup hosted by Atlanta's USL affiliate, Charleston Battery.

just wanted to say, the new Impact away jersey is great!

It's all in the small details that doesn't mean anything to you guys, but really cool for us. They added the old original Montreal coat of arms in the back, and also the 4 symbols from the Montreal flag/coat of arms on the socks

it's a great piece of history and a cool addition

tbh I can't really defend my team when I had the same thought :lol

Ferreals. What's their bench like? They must be lacking in depth or something at least, right?

Seems like a nice mix of young players and guys near the end of their careers.

Should I be excited about this Vazquez character?

Should I be excited about this Vazquez character?

I am. He seems to be the creative attacker they've been after, a complement to Giovinco. We're going to be scary. Or scarier.

Meanwhile, Will Johnson is still crying about his playing time

I appreciate what he did for us, but I'll be doubly happy when we beat Orlando a couple times this year.

Great goal from Tommy! I'm glad to see him get more PT in the preseason, but who knows if that's going to carry over into the season. Quakes look to be the same as always unless a few of their new signings on offense pan out - they'll be tight at the back and won't score quite enough goals to make the playoffs. It's the Dominic Kinnear soccer blueprint. :/

Atlanta United officially announced Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Southeast as their first television partner. The two parties agreed to a multi-year contract. The two Fox Sports Regional Networks will hold exclusive regional television rights and broadcast every non-nationally televised match the club has in its inaugural season, save for three scheduling conflicts.

The agreement includes a 30-minute pre-game and post-game show, Atlanta United LIVE!, as well as a weekly 30-minute studio show, Atlanta United: Match Week, that will be premier on April 4 at 6:30 p.m. Shows will be re-broadcast several times each week, according to Genthner. The shows will be taped in the Atlanta studios and will incorporate touch screens and 360-degree viewing technology.

Additionally, on Feb. 24 a preseason show, Atlanta United: Unite and Conquer, will air at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. on FOX Sports Southeast.

The regional broadcast schedule will begin with the April 8 game at Toronto. It will air on FOX Sports South and FOX Sports Go, the mobile platform. Because of potential conflicts involving Fox Sports South’s other inventory, which includes the Braves, Hawks and college football, three Atlanta United games will be broadcast on CW69 instead of FOX Sports South and FOX Sports Southeast. Those games are on April 22 against Real Salt Lake, Sept. 9 vs. Dallas, and Sept. 23 vs. Montreal.

Atlanta United President Darren Eales said when looking for a broadcast partner he wanted one with a regional reach and high production values. Each game will use seven cameras and the broadcast will reach a minimum of 6.8 million households to as many as 10 million across a broadcast footprint that stretches from the Mississippi River, across Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, and into eastern North Carolina. Additionally, a SAP feed will be available for every telecast.

Atlanta United will have 15 national TV games across league-wide broadcast partners, including ESPN, FOX and Univision’s family of networks. Atlanta’s inaugural game against New York Red Bulls on March 5th at Bobby Dodd Stadium will be televised on FOX Sports 1 at 7 p.m.

Of Atlanta United’s 15 nationally televised games, each of its first four will be aired nationally. After Red Bulls, Atlanta will play its first-ever road game at Minnesota United on March 12, which will be shown live on ESPN2 at 5 p.m. Atlanta will then host Chicago Fire on Saturday, March 18, which will be televised on UniMas, live at 4 p.m. They’ll wrap up the first month of play in Seattle against the Sounders on March 31, again on FOX Sports 1.

He's doing too well not to get noticed elsewhere. However, the fact he believes in what they're trying to do in Toronto and he's willing to see it through is awesome for the team and the league.

If that Barca loan thing was true then someone is going to come calling with a real offer soon enough. I'm glad he's sticking around for now though, he's a joy to watch.

Yup, he's doing too well to stick around for long, which sucks because I love watching him too. Toronto would collectively weep.

Carl Robinson hints at possible signing when asked about captaincy: "I've just got to decide and that might depend on if I'm trying to bring someone else in, so you can put 2 and 2 together." At around the 8:00 mark.

On another note, we're gonna get destroyed by the Red Bulls tonight, lmao. We're missing Mezquida, Reyna, Bolanos, and Hurtado's probably gonna start up front.

It's still better than the Union's BIMBO sponsor and the Whitecaps' home jersey this year.

 

[Cystm]

Royer has had some good moments so far. He keeps this up, he might be on the fantasy squad this year. If he and Kljestan get on the same page they could be lethal.

 

[Icolin]

Holy SHIT that run from Manneh. Too bad Davies couldn't finish it, but WOW. Arena better be watching.

 

[Icolin]

Lucky goal for Manneh. Great attacking by Waston though.

 

[Icolin]

Awful penalty by Kljestan. Whitecaps are lucky.

 

[Icolin]

1-1 draw. Decent game, but clearly both teams are still a little rusty.

Also, Techera can fuck off with that nut kicking BS.

 

[Cystm]

Waston actually slapped Kekuta across the face in celebration after his goal...

wat.

Just saw Sacha's missed penalty. Really gotta stop with this cute tap in type shit. BWP is just as guilty for it as well. Put Felipe in there from now on so he can just blast it home, please.

Yea, they just need to blast it in low and to a corner. We dropped two point in part due to that save, and in part due to pre-season rust. With any luck we'll have it more together in the away leg.

Anyone interested in writing up a brief team preview for whichever team you support? I'll probably do one for the Quakes

since I know you all care very deeply about them.

I'll include key additions and departures, projected lineup, best case scenario and worst case scenario or something like that.
