Post-match mailbag: Atlanta United lost again

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 17:12:03 GMT

Atlanta United fell 3-2 to Orlando City on Wednesday night. I’m here to answer your questions about it. You’re welcome?

Atlanta United gets played off the field by Orlando City

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 01:54:36 GMT

Just when it appeared as if Atlanta United were building some momentum after the transfer window, Orlando City came to town to send the vibes right back to terrible. The Lions won by a narrow 3-2 score, but in reality, it was an utter demolition.

The Five Stripes started the match against their used-to-be rivals (when the team was relevant) by pressing high and even forcing an early own goal. However, as soon as that ball went over the line, Orlando flipped a switch and dominated the match from then on.

I can’t remember seeing an away team completely control a match like that at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Game state evened out the numbers later on, but at halftime, Orlando enjoyed around 67% (calm down, kids) of the possession.

Trying to single out any players in this one would be impossible. It was all bad. Which is hilarious, because on paper, this was one of the strongest lineups Tata (or any other Atlanta manager) has trotted out in years. Jay returned from injury, Amaro made his full debut, Embolo was flanked by both DPs. It appeared to be possibly the best lineup he could think of fielding.

None of that mattered as Orlando completely bossed the match, connecting passes, running circles around Atlanta for the majority of the night. Seeing Antoine Griezmann score and strike the Heisman pose was about the most symbolic possible event one could imagine for a night like this.

I have to mention that the team looked dead tired around the 25th minute, right before they conceded the equalizer. I’m never one to make excuses for poor showings, but it seemed quite obvious to me that the whole team had no legs after expending so much pressing energy early on.

I’m not sure we can glean much from this one. But it’s on brand for this team to lay a total dud as soon as the vibes start improving and everyone is excited for a starting lineup release.

Let’s see what the next few games bring until we fully commit to our hot takes, I guess. For now, it’s another miserable night in the Benz.

See y’all on Saturday.

NWSL Atlanta to reveal branding at October 4 launch event

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 14:52:09 GMT

NWSL Atlanta is finally set to get a real name. The club announced on Wednesday that brand launch party will take place on Sunday, October 4 that will finally give the team a name, logo, and color scheme and all that good stuff.

bit.ly/nwslatlparty ","username":"NWSLAtlanta2028","name":"NWSL Atlanta 2028","profile_image_url":"https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1988398120867155968/eqPTLZeo_normal.jpg","date":"2026-09-09T14:05:38.000Z","photos":[{"img_url":"https://pbs.substack.com/media/HRx7-rhWwAAA50O.jpg","link_url":"https://t.co/byQoTTXNr4"}],"quoted_tweet":{},"reply_count":3,"retweet_count":11,"like_count":24,"impression_count":666,"expanded_url":null,"video_url":null,"video_preview_media_key":null,"belowTheFold":false}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM">

The event is free admission, but limited tickets are available. It is scheduled to begin at 12pm and last through 4pm and take place at Southern Exchange Ballrooms at 200 Peachtree Street.

You can get your ticket here (maximum of four).

There is little to go off of as far as hints are concerned. Usually there is some sort of clue when it comes to these types of reveals, whether it be the color scheme used in the graphic or some sort of easter egg hidden.

The usage of peaches and the event being on Peachtree Street could hint at some sort of Peach-themed branding?

Nevertheless, we are less than a month from finally finding out what Atlanta’s new NWSL team will be called. It’s finally getting real, y’all.

PREVIEW: Atlanta United hosts Orlando City with their playoff hopes (basically) on the line

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 11:11:43 GMT

In case you needed even more aging stars and Florida after Atlanta United’s 2-2 draw with Inter Miami, Orlando City is in town tonight. In a very MLS way, it’s a big one. Atlanta United are six points behind eighth-place Orlando. If the new look(ish) Five Stripes are going to make a run to a playoff spot over the final 11 matches, a home six-pointer against your least favorite team is a must-win. I’m willing to take it seriously if you are.

When: 7:30 p.m. ET

Where: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta

Availability report

Cooper Sanchez took a hard shot in the Inter Miami match and ended up going into concussion protocol after the game. He won’t be available in midfield. And neither will new signing Giuliano Galoppo. He’s still working on obtaining his visa. Tata Martino is once again waiting for a player to get through this process and he seemed totally fed up with it yesterday.

It’s unclear if

Breel Embolo changed how Atlanta United plays

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 15:40:58 GMT

Sometimes things work exactly how you expect them to.

When Atlanta United signed Breel Embolo as their new No. 9, we expected him to be more involved in build-up than his predecessor and to cause problems with his physicality. In his first game, that’s exactly what we got.

His very first touch with Atlanta United clued everyone in on how he would operate in Tata Martino’s system. This isn’t where we’re used to seeing Atlanta’s strikers trying to receive the ball. (Hint: He’s directly above the FSF logo.)

FIVE STRIPE FINAL: The Embolo Effect

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 23:41:44 GMT

3 thoughts on two promising Atlanta United debuts

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 12:31:14 GMT

Atlanta United welcomed two much-needed players into the squad on Saturday night and came away with an impressive 2-2 draw away to a scorching-hot Inter Miami side.

There’s a lot to be excited about after seeing Breel Embolo and Mauricio Amaro enter the fold, both making positive contributions and strong first impressions.

Here are a few thoughts on finally seeing something interesting around here.

PREVIEW: Breel Embolo faces Inter Miami

Sat, 05 Sep 2026 17:16:16 GMT

Some famous folks will be on the other side today. But that’s not what’s important. What’s important is that we’ll finally get something new and shiny to look at. $18 million DP striker Breel Embolo is available to play. He’s been in training this week. There’s a decent chance he gets significant minutes tonight. Same for U22 midfielder Mauricio Amaro. Regardless of the outcome—that part might be bad don’t worry about that part—we’ll learn something. Thank goodness things are interesting again.

Some Ws (and an H)

Who: Atlanta United at Inter Miami

When: 7:30 p.m. ET

Where: Nu Stadium, Miami

How to watch: Apple TV*

*Big note here: You don’t need MLS Season Pass anymore. An Apple TV subscription gets you access to Slow Horses, Shrinking and Atlanta United.

Availability report

Jay Fortune should be back in full soon. This is about as healthy as a team can be at this point in the season. Normally that means you earn points just by virtue of having more starters available than other teams, but, well, you know.

Galoppo in, Hernandez out on deadline day

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 04:08:00 GMT

Atlanta United’s summer transfer window concluded on Wednesday with a couple of moves.

The long-rumored loan of Giuliano Galoppo from River Plate is finally official. The midfielder joins the club through the 2027 Sprint Season with Atlanta reportedly holding a $6 million purchase option for him.

While that move was expected, an outgoing move that no one had on their radar was Ronald Hernandez being traded to the Portland Timbers for $50,000 in guaranteed General Allocation Money with a chance for that to grow to $150,000. This move seemed motivated by Portland’s desperation to add depth to its team after a rash of injuries.

Perhaps the most notable moves of the window and deadline day were the ones that weren’t made. Barring any last second deals, Atlanta did not bring in any wingers or a backup striker. A team who has struggled to score all season did sign Breel Embolo, but not adding to its depth at that end of the field is confusing.

Even more befuddling is the fact the Five Stripes opted not to utilize either of their allotted contract buyouts. It seems as though they have chosen to keep the squad they have intact for a possible playoff run instead of improving the long-term health of the salary cap. Why? I have no idea.

On the whole, they sent Latte Lath, Stian Gregersen, Saba Lobjanidze, Juan Berrocal, Matias Galarza, Ronald Hernandez and Pedro Amador out. While adding Breel Embolo, Mauricio Amado, Junior Alonso, Paulo Diaz, and Giuliano Galoppo.

Chris Henderson is scheduled to speak to the media on Thursday morning to discuss the team’s transfer window. Stay tuned for more in-depth reaction after we hear what he has to say.

They're also joined by her husband and co-owner of their Atlanta Smoke, who just so happened to play a similar sport for an Atlanta Team (can you guess?). Finally they delve into her journey in child psychology, the importance of mental health in athletics, and her original interest in archeology. Probably looking for the best ways to bury her opponents...
