It's from the non-stop temper tantrum ATL fans are throwing from losing the past two weeks.
Unrelated:
I love Dax.
Rob Usry literally rage quit twitter for all of last night as a result of that loss, and the Metro twitter ribbing. Dude deleted all his tweets and started over.
OP

Wooooow. I actually like Rob and dig some of the Stars and Stripes stuff he does. He only has 46 tweets now. That's wild.
San Jose getting in on that Zlatan madness:
Seattle fans were considered the worst when they entered the league. Before them it was Toronto fans. Originally it was Galaxy and DC United fans.
No one ever hated Colorado though.

I mean, Seattle is still probably the most hated supporters in the league, ATL was third last month.

Another home loss and who knows? Skies the limit!
In fairness to him, you shouldn't talk shit to Metro twitter before a game if you can't take the heat after you lose.
"just hanging out with Kaku"
And the mighty will only become mightier. If RBNY do get him I imagine they'll work him in like they did Kaku, in which case he'll be ready for a play-off run. Hell, they might even use the open cup run to get him ready faster.
Why the hell is RBNY so high? Why are we higher than NYCFC? We're not the ones who go around breaking chairs and starting fights all over the damn place!
It really is us against the world.
EDIT: Probably some combination of DC, NYCFC, Philly, and New England fans. Everyone wants RBNY to be their rival, but there's only one DC.

Well I can't speak for other Atlanta fans or what they did, but generalizing an entire fanbase based on the actions of a particular subgroup doesn't seem like the best way to go about doing things. Just seems incendiary for no particular reason.
It was!! They had a discussion panel with the heads of both clubs earlier in the day too about how the friendly cake about and the future of supporter-driven soccer.
OP

Not sure anyone said it was the entire fan base. To be clear, ATL has some amazing fans, and the way that they have come together to support the city, club and each other is beautiful. However, You do have some pretty terrible supporters as well (as does anything ever) if you are on social at all over the past few weeks it's pretty much been non-stop ATL whining and complaining about things (Refereeing primarily) in place of the actual things to be complaining about.
Yea, more than a few fans online have not taken the latest loss well by any means.
Oh, in other news, Patrick Vieira's move is apparently done. He's denying it, but reports are saying it's gonna happen in the summer window.
No one complained about MLS refereeing before we came into the league, this is true.
We just have a very vocal fanbase, across all sports, particularly on social media. Some is good, some is bad, some is troll. MLB Twitter is very familiar with this. Welcome to the party.

Oh, I just think the fit some fans have thrown is absolutely hilarious. Dudes literally rage quitting twitter over one loss, the ATL fan blog at SB Nation openly rigging the results, the total lack of accepting that the refereeing was fine and they got lucky to have only one guy sent off, saying that attendance matters more than results, not understanding how the shield is awarded or how games in hand work, it's just a cornucopia of amusement. Atlanta dudes do not take losing well at all.
I think some of it may stem by how our city has been absolutely buttfucked by ref/ump decisions over the years. We've developed a complex.
I'll just say that some of the decisions were not consistent with others. We got a red when it wasn't warranted (and thankfully overturned), then didn't get a red when it was deserved.
I don't fuck around with SB Nation or fools on Twitter, so I can't speak for that. The r/AtlantaUnited moderators do a pretty good job of beating down bullshit, but people are vocal about what they think are bad calls. You also have new sport fans who think they know it all, but I'd assume that happens with every market, at least ones that pop out of the gate like we have.
I think the extremes are just that.
I hope ownership has a solid backup plan for when he leaves. Losing Vieira will sting.
The thing is, all of Metro twitter has been on pretty good terms with the ATL SB Nation guy until just after this game. So it was more funny for me than anything else, we had good banter with that dude in the build up.
Also if you want a team that's been fucked over by the refs almost constantly for 20 years or so, look no further. There's still Metro dudes salty about Henry's last game and the no call at the very end of it.
I think the ATL United fan base just needs a bit more experience with losing, you're all way too used to beating everyone who comes down there bloody. But that's generally an expansion team thing.
Yea, if he's leaving at the end of the year then we'll be fine. Casseres Jr will be ready for the first team by next year so losing Adams will probably save us a bit of a headache. In the short term I'm more worried about losing Murillo after the World Cup. I still don't think we've nailed down a replacement yet.
Apparently reporting on it might have been early, but it's probably still legit. I'm not sure NYCFC have anyone in the pipeline who can just pick up and carry the baton like RBNY do with Woly and Armas. That said, after the World Cup there's going to be a huge shuffle of coaches so there's good odds you can get a decent one.
We got a taste of winning, decided we liked it, and bitch about not doing it. So, yeah, basically. I think some people bought in so hard that it physically hurts. As a veteran Atlanta resident and sports fan, those sweet summer children.
There's obvious flaws with this team that need to be addressed, and we could have scraped a point if we decided to mark BWP. That was some shit defending.
Nothing will ever top Eric Gregg or Sam Holbrook, though.
There's a second source saying the Tyler Adams to Leipzig deal is done. No idea on the transfer fee or any of that, but it'll be announced within a week.
Marking BWP would have only helped so much I think. This year's team is like a hydra, it's not easy to shut everyone down at once. Someone's gonna slip something through at some point, generally BWP since he's got the experience.
You guys definitely have a long history of getting hosed in baseball though, goddamn.
It's funny because the right calls were generally made in this game, even if that penalty was soft you got it gifted back by not getting a second sent off so it evens out. I think anyway.

I'd be okay with this. Both LAGalaxy and LAFC need defenders desperately.
Also, seeing Christian PuliSlick and the Bortmund gang tonight! Lee Nguyen might start if everybody on World Cup vacation! Finally, I know it's a friendly, but will the undefeated LAFC streak at the Banc end tonight?

4 years ago if you'd told me I would be watching an MLS team friendly instead of watching the Warriors vs Houston Rockets in conference playoff game I'd have call you crazy. I mean bonkers.
Yet here I am waiting for my team to play Dortmund. Things have changed a lot in 4 years.

Kovar missed his chance to make a massive statement with that last chance. He still worked hard for that 1st goal.
Pressure got to him. You could tell after that he knew he'd missed an opportunity.
Our defense has to stop falling asleep after we score.

Great LAFC BVB game last night. Christian Pulisic is a shrimp in real life.
Nguyen showed productivity with a nice assist but he seems to hold the ball a hair too long in the few games I've seen of him. Should be better when he's more comfortable imo.

They can dish it, but they can't take it. Metro twitter the true kings, we're apparently the reason the USA didn't qualify for the world cup (according to ATL twitter). Don't get much stronger than that.
I've been talking the town the entire time my man.
This entire thing seems like a dumb argument tho.
Curious to see how Rooney does in America. Didnt really stay at Everton long at all. Might be good for him to start fresh at DC. And Evertons manager who just got sacked is a prick anyways lol can't blame him
Arsenal probably is the ultimate banter club right now lol

North Texas Rayados, a Sunday pub team, move onto the next round in US open cup.
I'm guessing they'll be matched with FC Dallas next week?

Could be. They'll probably face a b or c side though, so it should be a good game.
Assuming Fresno wins right now (they're struggling against another amateur team), Rayados are getting a nice $25,000 prize
