Peachtree Post

We're back a day earlier than usual for the hour long Peachtree Post!   We take a longer look at the kits from the reveal night as well as what we liked and didn't like. The team's staff is filled out and we take a look at who is who on the staff and the experience they bring the table. There are player rumors again and Jason has shouldered the burden of figuring out who on the Atlanta United roster best fits the classic Four Horsemen style. (Carlos Tevez is a must for this) Finally we get into the USMNT setting the sport back a few decades in Costa Rica and what it means going forward. Covering the pitch like dew, it's the Peachtree Post

We're back to full strength and on our regular time. We take a look at the USA Mexico game and what to expect from both teams. Does *anybody* have a clue how these coaches will line things up? The Atlanta United kit release is next Tuesday so we talked about what we hope for in the kits and the importance of a good kit in the team's identity. Finally we both spared a few words concerning the unique atmosphere around USA/Mexico games (especially this one) and what it means to us.   Covering the pitch like dew, it's the Peachtree Post

Welcome to today's Peach Pit.  Today's topics include the LA Galaxy and what they are facing this offseason. After two straight disappointments, do they change their approach moving forward.

This week Jason and Jarrett look back at the first transfer window that Atlanta had a hand in and what moves caught our attention around the league. How does it impact Atlanta? Will it impact the rest of the season? (yes.) Atlanta players went out on loan. Or did they? Rules are weird. Red cards are too, surprisingly.  Nigeria had an American Tale. It was really crazy but their first game in the Olympics tried ot top it. USL and NWSL in Atlanta's future? On their own or tied to Atlanta United? Seattle goes to Orlando this week. Both teams try to stay on the front foot and Jason keeps trying to be right about everything.  Covering the pitch like dew, it's the Peachtree Post!
