I think I can actually watch the game this weekend and it will be the first chance I have to catch a full game live! I am glad Bello did not get called up, but I assume it is going to be rough with no Robinson.

Atlanta is not playing like they did in years past. They are playing really open which is producing goals, but they are vulnerable in transition until they get back and organized. I hate to say it but their play reminds me of Chelsea under Lampard. Some say it is entertaining, not so much for Atlanta fans that are used to seeing a solid team out there.

Sad to hear. I used to catch almost every game when we lived in Birmingham as we got every game on Fox Sports South. and loved those teams under Tata. Games at MB were amazing as well. Going to try and catch more games next year if I can.Atlanta is not playing like they did in years past.

Crap, that means I am going to miss it. It is fitting since I missed every other game this year.
I'm going to be watching that match :-DHistoric season for the Rapids who finished first in the west! Unfortunately, I'll be traveling for their opening playoff match which will be held on Thanksgiving day.

Good News for Atlanta
Two important players resumed training with Atlanta United as it prepares for Sunday’s MLS playoff game at NYCFC.
Marcelino Moreno, a versatile midfielder, and Santiago Sosa, a defensive midfielder, trained with the team Wednesday.
“They look great,” fullback Brooks Lennon said. “It’s great to have them back in the training sessions with us preparing for Sunday.”
Moreno has nine goals and five assists in 32 appearances this season. He didn’t play in the season finale at Cincinnati on Nov. 7 because of a pain-tolerance issue related to a foot injury.
Sosa missed the past four games after sustaining an injury in a 1-1 draw against NYCFC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. He has 25 appearances for the club this season.
“I think for both of them, there’s obviously a tough time being out,” goalkeeper Brad Guzan said. “But to have them back on the field is certainly a bonus for us.” Each are important because of their ability to play different positions, which gives manager Gonzalo Pineda flexibility with his formations and tactics.

In other news, CF Montréal owner Joey Saputo's starting to butt heads with the club supporters over the rebranding that happened in the past season. Basically, many Montréal fans aren't supportive of the rebranding, and this was reiterated in a recent meeting between Joey Saputo and the Supporters' Association (ASUP; they represent all of the Montreal fans and supporters' groups). That meeting didn't really go well.
Let's see if Joey can stick to his word and keep the club in Montréal. At this rate, he's caring less and less about the club.

- Joey Saputo will stick to the rebrand and not revisit it in the future.
- Joey also threw some shade at ASUP and told them that they're too small to influence the club's direction.
- Joey also threatened to sell the club and having it move to the U.S. if the general fanbase continues to be unhappy with the club's current direction.

Why is the rebranding necessary?
This sums it up.Why is the rebranding necessary?

This was done by the president and CEO Kevin Gilmore, who was brought in by Joey before the start of this season. The fans were incredibly pissed off at the direction that he was taking the club, so he stepped down a few weeks back.
