MLS ATLANTA UNITED F.C.: '18 MLS CUP CHAMPS/'19 Campeones Cup

[BK360NATL]

I watched the game yesterday on mute while at a cookout.

It's nice to see this team get a lot of love in the city. But maybe I'm being ignorant... this team feels like the team for gentrifiers. Most ATL United fans I see (sans the black folks) have that look.

You're not being ignorant. It's a fair assessment. But, the gentrifiers are just like any town's bandwagoners. It is what it is. Ironically, a lot of the gentrifiers are now on Next Door bytching about the drastic tax assessment increases to their property values around the city, which they themselves caused.....fukk em

I was reminded once more about real Atlanta is on its way to being a lost cause on Friday night when we went to check out the new rooftop bar at the Clermont Hotel, Clermont Lounge building for those that know....That fleabag hotel is now a real hotel, with valet parking, renovated rooms and reception area, and a golf clubhouse type bar scene on the roof with great views of downtown ATL.... Gentrification will kill that whole neighborhood. Murder Kroger gone...Masquerade gone....Dugan's to become a Chick Fil A down the line...Clermont Hotel now upscale.....

There are far more true "football" folks at the games than the gentrifiers. There has been a robust non-pro league and pickup footie scene in and around Atlanta for many years. Atlanta is a very international metropolis, extending some 30-45 miles from downtown. Besides us (black American, Caribbean and African folks), there are many Latinos, Europeans and Asians here who love "football". Anyone who's been to the tailgates at Georgia Tech last season, or the gulch this season, knows what's up. We all try get along, even with the OTPs (outside the perimeter folks, I-285 for those who know) and their idiosyncrasies. We're even starting to see the sistas show up in force too.

My section is so diverse, it's Atlanta. I wasn't at the Pride game last week, but I imagine, no one cared. All are welcome as long as they're down for the ATL United.

Founder's Club member. Club level seats over the Delta 360 lounge where the players come out of.

Best sporting experience in Atlanta since the days of Deion. Better than the Mike Vick days, better than the Falcons' SB contender runs, better than the Braves' WS champ run. ATL got one and the stadium might be the best in the USA.

Wait..... That Kroger is gone? ?

Apparently, you haven't been down that way lately....

They knocked that shyt down about a year ago or so, and are putting up another high-rise mixed-use complex, similar to what they did over by Masquerade. Gonna be a sad day when MJQs, Eats, Fellinis & La Fonda Cantina get pushed out by the gentrifiers too.

Anyway, another great display by the Five Stripes.

You arent wrong, me and a friend picked up on this shyt before we got word from a mutual friend in real estate. We noticed that a lot of neighborhoods we knew as dangerous hoods back in the day are now flying the AU flag as a sort of sign to let people know this area is being gentrified. We found it real strange that you will either see a street full of them flags or none at all. Real estate friend let us know that flying an AU sign off your porch is an easy way to increase real estate values as when buyers see that it gives them a different picture of the neighborhood than seeing a Falcons flag. And you know exactly what i mean by that.

Its one of the reasons ive been real hesitant to go down there to a game.

LGP with the MLS pass of the year yesterday

 

[BK360NATL]

Yeah, this team is fun to watch. Let’s enjoy it while we can and hopefully win the cup this season.

Not sure what our team will look like next season. The wolves are circling. Even read somewhere that Tata Martinez might be considered for managing the USMT.

They are replacing it with another Kroger, it was a shyt Kroger anyway, couldn't compete with the massive whole foods/home depot/ complex across the street or whatever the hell they did to city hall east(ponce city market)

Another win for the 5 stripes!!!

6th hat trick for Josef Martinez. Made some great runs and was able to finish on headers. The Carleton kid played decent. Backline tightened up. We have another midfielder in Remidi. Not sure what was going on with Miggy's shot. Just the same, this team was fun to watch.

On the other hand, Rooney looks done. The "rest haven for hoes" mentality of the rest of the MLS continues.... Rather than organically building their own stars, like ATL United, these teams chase past-their-prime guys who have very little left in the tank to generate buzz with their respective fanbases for a year or two.

Miggy is pressing on his scoring opportunities it seems.

Josef is playing out of his mind right now, not just scoring either. He’s probably had 4 missed assist that others didn’t finish
