America: * loves american sports *
Europeans: hey those sports are shitty, soccer is so much better
America: k * starts loving soccer *
Europeans: haha fuckin americans stop trying to get into soccer go play handegg
it aint soccer first off
BlurDesigns who cares what we call it
In Australia it's also called soccer.
Jonathan Baeza funny how Brits get triggered when Americans called it soccer but when an Aussie says it, nobody blinks an eye
BlurDesigns We're not the ones who created that term
Who here agrees that they need to add this stadium (Mercedes-Benz stadium) to FIFA, one way or another
Isaac McKinney yep it's already made up for Madden. I can't imagine it's that hard for EA Fifa to just walk down the hall or shoot an email or however it works to the Madden folks for the basic template.
Literally the first thing I looked for in FIFA 18
Isaac McKinney Is the best new stadium in soccer worldwide.
Isaac McKinney ea doesn't have many stadiums in FIFA 18 , there's a lot missing bc PES took the rights
Isaac McKinney just make sure ATL doesn't sign with PES, if so then no stadium
Instead of talking about the “quality” of the league how about give them some credit for getting 71,000 fans.
I know! It's pretty sick! Would go to a match but 8000+ Km are not easy task haha
The "quality" isn't that bad either. I think Eurosnobs really underrate the level of play.
Think they do mate, not gonna lie I still don’t rate it highly but i also don’t rate English teams as highly as some people.
With the amount of money the USA spends on football and the size of their country it'd be embarrassing if they didn't achieve those numbers.
So you’re trying to say it’s less impressive because that country has a large population? The majority don’t like football over there as much, it’s not that popular, that’s why it’s impressive
Europeans bashed North Americans for not knowing football, and now they bash us for getting into it. I will not understand
Liam Deschamps fuck them! Go ATL!!!!!
because you' re not experiencing authentic clubs
Exactly stay in your lane enjoy your own sports
North American region is composed by 3 countries
Here people only talks about US
ADV by your logic the UK cant make grime music because it's not authentic hip hop or any European rap for that matter. Damn near all your pop culture is appropriated from the US so sit down and be humble boy. Lol
Why all the hate? 71,000 people are packing out a stadium in America, for soccer! Why is that a bad thing? I say the more football/soccer fans around the world, the better! It should be a unifier not a divider.
Why it took so long for MLS to realize such potential in Atlanta?
BoostFutbol I just hate them out of jealously lol. Wish my team could spend the money on players like they have already.
nohalftimeAT2am Haha that’s a great question. Maybe they thought football (NFL) was too dominant for soccer to succeed in the South?
Matt Coupe Haha valid. Who do you support?
Nice. Just imagine how awesome it would be if your saison ticket wouldn't cost 2x as much as for clubs like Bayern Munich... Fucking outrageous if you ask me
Their stadium looks sick
Owen Roberts their *
its not well? does it need to see a doctor?
DAVE GOLIAT what you talking about
Owen Roberts lol now you changed it good job
It's really beautiful if you see it in person
That stadium is so fucking sexy!
you'd like to fuck a stadium? lol
I know I mastrubated to a picture of it... Came buckets :)
Jubba the love sponge It looks far too corporate, football stadiums are supposed to have character, if you look at stadiums across europe you'll see big stands that all have history and meaning behind them.
Highbury was too small for any renovations and the houses were just too close, I think the same can be said for White hart lane. Bigger stadia just mean bigger profit. But I hope Liverpool, Manchester united or even Everton don't leave their stadiums. And the same goes for Chelsea, Leeds etc. But that is just my opinion.
Avery Mallett Look at every English team thats moved to a modern stadium, the atmosphere is non existent mate.
Cool video - thanks for the mix. I think the hate toward the MLS is unfounded. I'm an Arsenal supporter, but every league has to start somewhere and the MLS is slowly, but surely growing. I say rock-on... the more people who can come to the world of football the better!
I grew up an nfl but I have seen the light so I have hope for my country lol. just fucking sucks that we didn't qualify =(
Wenger In Kroenke In!!!!
i wouldnt say MLS is going up slowly at all. its only 20 years old and has caught up quality wise to leagues much older with more history.
The problem is that Pele and Beckenbauer were playing for New York in the late 70s already. So football in america hasnt really evolved since then. They also didnt qualify for the world cup which is certainly not going to help for the popularity in the US. I just hope that soccer will finally become as big as it is supposed to be for the size of the country.
The stadium is sick btw.
you have no idea how stupid you sound
The amount of abuse the MLS is getting is pathetic, the league is growing in terms of teams, fans and talent. Lets be happy that the US is embracing the game... come on you Atlanta
arran lamont it’s because the MLS is more interested in creating promo videos and logos than investing in a quality product on the field
What a bunch of bullshit. Only people who aren't even bothering to pay attention to what's going on in MLS say dumb shit like this.
Sempuukyaku i've been to an mls game. had to leave after half time because i was literally falling asleep. kids in europe play better
Don't forget that Canada's in the MLS too...
Shr00b who cares lol doesnt make it any better
LOL have more people than Manchester city does on gameday.
NitricWarrior So fucking true and surprisingly more passionate fans to an extant
So true, but then again there stadium is much bigger
we have more than you too, description
Eminem JR LoL no it's not
+Eminem JR LoL we started off our games at bobby dodd, only holding about 45k, which while still bigger than stamford bridge, is not that big of a difference
Makes me happy to see the yanks finally catching onto and enjoying the greatest sport in the world.
Marcus Rashford Southerners aren’t yankees that mainly towards northern states.
bro not all of us are "yanks". Who the hell calls us that
Yeah, but in other countries a yankee is any American. north,south, whatever.
Yeah well that's stupid. I like to be called Californian or American, but yank, we aren't talking about baseball
Here folks, we see a rare form of a Eoropean that doesn't actually h8 on MLS/soccer,Football in America! This is an endangered species
Jesus that stadium...
*sniffs* what you talking about?
It's the Mercedes Benz Stadium, home of the NFL Falcons.
Wadiyatalkinabeet
simply amazing
Steven and Home of Atlanta United too. And yes they have their own designated locker room and amenities too..
I'm not really surprised by this. ATL is just different from everywhere else down here in the south.
Julian Green sounds cool id like to go one day
Julian Green suuuuree
When you say South, I hope you’re excluding Texas and Florida with that.
Julian Green It’s such a cosmopolitan city, which is pretty rare in the South
ATL lost both of it's NHL teams
Atlanta give me faith for American Football/Soccer. I don't think people realize how many people 71,000 is that's Derby Day numbers in the Prem that's insane... I don't get all the hate let American Football/Soccer grow and at this rate it will be on the same level as Europe maybe not too far in the future. Love from the UK to Atlanta and all MLS teams keep up what your doing going your own way about the beautiful game I have much respect for that so keep it up America
People seem to hate it because we don't follow the European model with pro/rel and no salary caps. Personally I think that's a BS excuse.
Michael Donelan Not to mention people ignore that those European leagues are now being criticized because teams with deep pockets like Bayern Munich, FCB, PSG, Man United, and Arsenal attempt to buy wins by spending amounts that would bankrupt the smaller clubs. Not to mention none of those teams have been relegated in the past 40-50 years.
Jeremy Testicle Man dude it doesn't matter what it is western Europeans Will always hate us honestly I'd feel more welcome in Moscow than London
Chris Petets Londonders don't even feel welcome in London don't worry
lol at the username.
Literally not a single hate comment in the first page of comments, but loads of people talking about all the hate..? I'm confused, also only 79 dislikes..
mls is shit
+ralphyns and where are you from?
@@joebidenisapedophile yeah, American football best
good to see football is growing in the US. atlanta has got some passionate fans. love it!
greetings from germany
I’m glad the Germans love American football too
better than supporting real madrid, barcelona, man united etc. Support your local team.
Third tier in a tiny country. Shitty "stadium." Zero TV-coverage. I think I'll stick to the team I've supported for 15 years.
Even when they can get "re-branded" or "relocated" or revamped(without pro-rel just for the League) with no limits or consideration for local fans? e.g. Columbus Crew
MLS blows, you hipster fuck
I don't have a local team so do i get a free pass?
Freshly Made Where are you from? It's hard to believe there isn't a local team.
3 years in existence first year in the MLS bringing in over 70,000 fans .... a lot of respect for that
The comment section shows just how uneducated people are about football. These people go and support their team every week and pack out a 71,000 capacity ground. Better than sitting indoors and watching Man Utd on the tele. May not be the best league in the world but who cares, Football wouldn't survive without fans and these guys are top notch!
Matt Nixon Thank you from Atlanta 😀
@@Legio__X Dortmund sells out their 81k stadium on a regular bases. MLS is just a bad league, and it really doesn't deserve that huge of a following.
@@lovis1188 why can they not support their local team
I'm glad that Football is beginning to click more with the USA. Give it 15 or so years and Football as a sport could be on a whole new level because of this new passion!
Harvey K And they had better start calling it football not soccar
Meta Mojo that's never going to change because of American football
+Meta Mojo
They can call it whatever they want. What is your beef with how another country names a sport? Aussies, South Africans, Japanese, Irish and New Zealanders call it soccer because they have other sports with the name 'football' in it. If on a saturday I happen to be playing a game of rugger, no-one either takes offence or are confused if I exclaim, 'Let's smash a game of footy'. Are you equally offended by the names 'fußball' and 'calcio'? Chill out.
THE ANDROID GAMER You can’t call two different things the same name? I really hope you are joking...
Harvey K especially now that we missed the World Cup, I think this has lit a fire in the Football community here and We will come back bigger and better in 2022.
Yo, THANK YOU Copa90 for doing a video on ATL UTD. I don't think your stadium shots did it justice because the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is Jaw fucking dropping. And you should have gotten our A.T.L. Iceland Chant, no where good as the originals but we do it justice 😂
Mellaldinho too bad tfc was the first mls club to do it, and english lower tiered team was the first worldwide. Iceland changed it a bit and made it their national cheer.
Mellaldinho hate that cringey viking shit
Lol shit is fun regardless if it's cringy or we aren't the first ones to do it
Liam I saw Seattle do it first and better
I've been to several Atlanta United matches and the fans do not even come close to "doing it justice."
What an atmosphere!
LMAO have you seen an Eastern European atmosphere?!
no need to compare the two. This is good for the US. What about the Nigerian League?
Rob Alcock A T L A N T A
Forced
It gave me chills!
You just have to smile when americans embrace the ultra culture.
Just keep up the good work.
From an European.
I guess you've never seen American football at the college level
kelton davis guess you have never witnessed a european derby
As a sounders fan, this makes me damn proud to see another city take their soccer team and elevate it!
Antonio Sanchez Many thanks. Our two two teams and toronto are the class of the league in both attendance and play
Antonio Sanchez i feel the same way bro can wait to see Miami next
Miami will be CRAZY I bet
As a southerner, and a Sounders fan, it makes me every bit as happy
im Sounders fan too. Atlanta is big crazy
Sick of the people mad because we call football soccer. Some of you say things in a different language but it means the same. But you want to get on us for naming it different? And the only reason we named it soccer was because American football was already well established by the time some kind of soccer was played in the USA. But of course we really don't care what u guys think we are still falling in love with the sport and will be better.
I don't think American football should be called football, because it's definitely a misnomer, but that being said, I use the word soccer on a daily basis, also the word soccer is English in origin, not American, this is why it's a common word for association football in Australia.
you yanks are more than 100 years behind. You Americans no nothing about the football culture.
@iceCoffeBoof Cap Yeah that's cool! But i would never be the same as European football
says F.C on your badge
" *FC* atlanta united"
In Italy we say "The british invented football, we taught them how to play it"
I hope the MLS can reach that level too!
england in the wc and not italy loool
@ST H italy had the best league no too long ago, the milan derby had more attention than the el classico.
Lol here in Brazil we say "The british invented football, we perfected it".
@@_oam_ count the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
😭 and you've just beat them in the euro finals
Fuuucck I want ribs now
Yup thats us we are United ❤️❤️
Hahahahahaha
John Ramirez ATL🔴⚫!!
How the fuck can you justify those ticket prices?? The ticket prices are fucking outrageous. I just looked and for the next match against Toronto the cheapest ticket is 88$!!!! Cheapest season ticket was fucking 360$... and they raised it for 2018! Now it's gonna be 432$! But if you had a season ticket in 2017 you will be rewarded by a cheaper season ticket... 378$. Yes, you will pay 18$ more as a reward. Those prices are fucking outrageous. For example FC Basel which is a better club charges 200$ for a saison ticket, in a country where avg. wage is 5000$/month. For the same price you can get 2 saison tickets for Bayern Munchen...
Also mate, it's football, not soccer
John Ramirez but it is just insane mann... unbelievable how much passion you demonstrate! respect from Argentina.
why can't we just both enjoy the beautiful game of football (soocer) instead of fighting which continent has it better
XO ForLife also instead of fighting over what it should or shouldn't be called either. The importance is that you love the game.
WoodyWoods428 yeah it's just a name.
I honestly don't why brits gets so insulted
(Im Colombian not American)
I was over in the states weeks before their first game, the buzz was insane, supported them from afar and became hooked on the MLS
Incoming all 7 triggered Atlanta Silverback fans
myboyblue 32 who?
I just wish they'd merge with ATL UTD and become their USL 2nd team. They have great youth training facilities at Spaghetti Junction and would be a great program.
myboyblue 32 hahaha only ppl from Atlanta will understand
i am triggered but i fuckin love both with my heart man, got em both in my being and my life ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Lmao
How you gonna mention ATL HipHop artists and not mention Outkast?
One year later....2018 MLS Cup champions!
All the comments are about people complaining about Europeans complaining but I don't see any Europeans complaining. At all. They stadium looks sexy tho. Oh and it's FOOTBALL. Not soccer
ahahahaha
Stfu it has two names people in different countries have different names for things. England it's called a lift in America it's a elevator
Gladiator Toast no brah its football. Dont change the word. We dont do it with american football or baseball aswell.
Mojom8 really everyone calls it handegg (which I don't find offensive). We just do it to prevent confusion
We have to say soccer in the US or else there will be confusion
Good Luck Atlanta FC
Respect From A Liverpool FC Fan 😎
Thats my home town, much love from Atlanta💪
FINALLY THEY MADE ONE FOR MY HOMETOWN
Who made it? A corporation?
YES!!!! Thank you COPA 90 for featuring our amazing team! The atmosphere is incredible and truly unique, anyone who gets a change should really try and go to a game! Vamos Atlanta!
Wonderful job capturing the essence of the rise of Atlanta United, Copa90! You guys rock! We love your videos!
I'm from Australia and support Atlanta!
What a great start for the club i can't wait for the few decades down the track
What team do u support in the a-league
Brisbane
Savage Boomhauer III ok eurosnob
I cant wait either
Can u send us Qantas
I am 67 years old, a lifelong Atlantan, and an ATL United Supporter. We finally did it! Be happy for us.
For the Europeans. This is our 5th sport. It has been A league for twenty years. Give A chance To The runner. Soccer is so freaking old in Europe we will compare in over 100yead thx
El _Dominador3 the prem was only formed in 1992
I meant football in general
Yeah from a 1st division that had been around for over a hundred years.. none of the teams in the prem started from scratch in 1992
Cause in MLS it’s totally new
El_Dominador3 my reply was for Oliver not you. I agree with you
You're video change my mind about MLS
Damn makes me wanna move to Atlanta
JeanTheBon what shithole must you live I.
JeanTheBon i live there too😀😀😀
I've went to San Antonio once. And the only thing I remember is The Alamo.......wink.
porkinwitz bro not cool. Thats messed up.
Only joking.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I've never been. But it seems like a lovely city. And you are welcomed here (Atlanta) any time.
Wow that stadium design. One of the most beautiful stadia in the world
Dreizehn Yea man you should see it in person if you haven’t. Gives you chills.
WE BROKE THE RECORD AGAIN YESTERDAY 3/11/18!
A-T-L!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how football has taken off in the US.
It's the beautiful game and is the worlds most popular sport for a reason, pretty cool to see the US join the party in such a big way.
It has taken off for a long time already at the youth level. It's more popular youth sport than ice hockey and baseball...its just pro wise, people dont want. yes its great the MLS is growing. But the only teams that can fill out a large stadium is Seattle and atlanta and LA, maybe a few other teams.....we need more teams..the MLS is actually only one spot behind the NHL (ice hockey) in the USA. But the difference is the NHL is considered a major sports league, while the MLS is not. They make millions more than the MLS, and pay their players millions more than the MLS. If Im correct, the MLS got a million viewers in the final, the Stanley cup finals though, had like 7-10 million viewers. The MLS is growing but it needs to grow faster if it wants to catch up to pro ice hockey, because the nhl is also gaining more and more viewers every year.
We should not bash Americans now that they are getting into football let’s respect that
ATL UTD’s record-breaking crowd ranked #4 in world soccer this weekend
Why is everyone hating LMAO
Dannyrobles04 it's blind hate
They're jealous that their shitty Buttfuckington United won't ever make it to the Premier League because the same 3 teams always win it.
Dannyrobles04 cause u call it socar. Its football
Meta Mojo bruh u Europeans getting mad over a name lmao 😂😂
Meta Mojo italians call football, calcio. Sooo i don’t understand why you give so much of a shit about the name of the spor
MLS... The league you love to hate, but that Stadium... fuck me! I could marry and have kids with that stadium, it's a thing of beauty
I'm pissed off they gave that stadium to Atlanta...LAFC's stadium betta be prettier!
Who gave it? The League? That very statement is why we look down on the MLS.
Bannlyst Man
theoriginalanimeker
Nobody gave that stadium to Atlanta LMAO. Arthur Blank the owner financed it with money from his company The Home Depot, and the stadiums sponsor Mercedes plus alot of money from the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia by way of various taxes and bonds.
It was actually built primarily for the cities American (NFL) Football team the Falcons. ATL United weren't even in existence when they first started plans for the stadium.
Why hate MLS???! I dont get you....its a young League that is definately growing !!!....where do you see the issue for hate???
Save The Crew
There isn't a soccer team is getting some big crowds it's because Atlanta has a huge immigrant population starving for the international type football
71,000 ex-NFL fans ... !
Nah, 71,000 people who support both sports. There are plenty of people in the USA who are American football haters, but most like multiple sports. Soo, maybe more like 5,000 ex-nfl fans.
What a sic goal 0:30!
Rob Alcock i
Not at all! There was no sick goal there!
I'd rather go to an ATL Utd game than a Man Utd game any day of the week, what an atmosphere
Aziz Fellague Ariouat then go to a Liga MX game
Dani Orta I would if I didn't live 13 hours away by plane lol
old trafford is ruined by a tourists really although the atmosphere is probably than any mls team due to lack of working claass history and fabricated identities and commercialism. attendance isn't always atmosphere as Fc United, dundalk, milwall and the icelandic nt prove that. . #WE'LL NEVER DIE
come with me to Dortmund game and you'll experience something else.
Dumb
Never been so excited for a video before!
Already a bigger club than City.
Go Atlanta FC Go ! Respect from a Atletico de Madrid Fan!! A T L !
Better atmosphere than half of the premier league
I love how everyone is like “Im an nfl fan I can’t be an mls fan.” Like WHY CANT YOU JUST LIKE BOTH?
So you don't "love how"
You hate on Americans for the growth of the game? Why? It's the beautiful game and you don't like to see Football evolving and expanding? If you love the game it makes no sense to me why you would judge. Yes the US is a young football nation, it's the teenage years of exposure, its got the pimples, blemishes and cringe moments. That's growth and life in general. I really feel like the Europeans hate the most of popular culture is derived from the US and football is well and truly the only thing that hasn't got taken over, they hate to see the rise of the game in the US, which baffles me if you love the beautiful game.
the identities are the clubs are the issue and by allowing this commercialism is going to ruin the atmosphere and authenticity of a game working class men would with their co workers
Wow, this is happening in USA,👍👏👌,
United States is a sleeping giant.
They are doing it the right way. New teams, new stadiums, new academies and it's slowly but steadily growing.
Imagine in about 25 years where that country is in terms of football/soccer?
It is the fastest growing sport there and is played the most by the younger age groups in children now.
It is. The 5th sport there but it will one day be the biggest. That I'm sure about.
It's a baby at the minute. The league is less than 20 years old and the MLS is being built right and what's more on a sustainable and profitable footing unlike the 70s league or how the European leagues are at the minute.
The looming financial crash in Europe similar to Serie A in the early 00s is. Eventually going to happen as it isn't sustainable and the MLS might just be there to pick up the pieces.
Bravo I say
yes its great the MLS is growing.

Genuinely looks amazing. Well done, Atlanta!
Respect from an nycfc fan.
This is the thing with fútbol in USA, a piece is made about an expansion team and there is no mention about having an ex Barcelona, ex Argentina head coach as their current head coach and no mention of their players, a minor reference about their style of playing which is completely different from most teams on the league, it’s all about the show, the spectacle, the culture, etc but NO FUTBOL
skull gs that's because the football sucks. I live in Atlanta, and going to a game is way different from actually watching the game on TV. At the stadium the hype kind of takes you away from the game. It's an awesome experience. But for those of us who are used to the technical side of football, there's still a lot lacking. It is improving steadily though, and I feel as time goes on teams will have better structure and better talent
This video’s focus is about the Fandom, the city and burgeoning culture surrounding the team. There’s plenty of other vids out there about the team itself and their soccer.
When I first saw an ATL game on TV, I thought it was a euro soccer match at first.
they are not two merged clubs, so why do they call themselves United? Also, this is an American team so the proper name should be SC. Also, stop saying "gooooooooooal". It's annoying and cringey as fuck.
this guy mentioned 21 savage and playboi carti but not gucci mane, t.i., or future?
Migos?
Fuck everyone except TI
leaving out outkast was the biggest crime here
Nice to see football growing in USA
Im form Europe.
Yea boi our stadium is fucking amazing and so is ATL
wooooohhhhhh!!!!71 000 fans is not a joke!!!!it's insane....soccer in U.S are growing well....
As we were watching this vid, a friend of mine told me: "Who knew black people would love Soccer?"
I told him: "There's an entire continent of em' playing football....."
Grats on that stadium and this crowd. Fantastic. Really nice to see what is happening in the MLS.
As an Indian i thank Atlanta United for naming their stadium over Taj Mahal
Shubh Hindustani Its not called the Taj Mahal... They were just saying that because it is big and beautiful. It's actually called Mercedes-Benz Stadium, look it up.
Who else from the South Side?!
People give us a lot of shit for playing in a stadium with a retractable roof. Then they walk into the stadium and can’t say nothin because their jaws dropped so fast they fell right off.
Not going to lie I actually got goosebumps looking at the stadium. Even before he said he gets goosebumps.
I hate when EuroSnobs hate on the MLS, it takes a lot of time for a league to grow.
its not a league its a commercial cash grab
www.dictionary.com/browse/league, look at the fourth definition on the page
Amazing Crowd 😎
I think the reason Europeans dislike Americans adopting soccer is because America is a powerful country with lots of money and Europe feels like soccer is a cultural icon that defines and unites the continent. European football is something they feel is unique to their continent, and to see America adopt it is frustrating to them because they feel like we're stealing a part of their cultural identity, and trying to make a cheap copy something unique they've spent the past 200 years passionately building.
Now, I can theorize that why they attack American soccer so much more aggressively than leagues from any other non-European country is because America is full of money and powerful people, and if there's one country that could pretty accurately recreate a European football league, it would be America. The attacks on America are sort of a self-defense mechanism to preserve their unique cultural identity.
As an American, I don't think America will ever successfully recreate a carbon copy of a European soccer league, nor do I think it's trying to. Even within Europe, the leagues have extremely different cultures and atmospheres. The Premier League, Ligue 1, La Liga, Calcio A and the Bundesliga are all extremely different yet peacefully coexist.
America is not trying to steal or even recreate this cultural element of Europe. America wants to create a league with quality players, quality atmospheres, quality entertainment and to do all of it in a way that will coexist with and not take anything away from the soccer empire Europe has built.
(p.s. stop shitting on us for having a different word for it, it's not really our fault. we didn't make the choice, our ancestors did. I think football makes more sense as a name, as do many other soccer fans over here, but it's not really in our power to change it)
having fake teams with real or utd or sponsorship affects the whole of football especially clubs getting owners which don't care about the tradition of the club.
Trinidad and Tobago...the franchise system is killing your football.
Hey idiot I didn't know Brazil, Colombia etc were in Europe, stupid point, it's because you don't know what you're doing and slate football all the time now you're trying to get on the bandwagon.
Vladimir Lenin. Their leagues have the same system of relegation and promotion...
Never mind the fact that there is an already well established sport here in the US that goes by that name, FOOTBALL. Soccer works just fine.
Good post! You were kind because many would see the hate as just blind envy for what they know we are capable of doing, as we have most any other sport.
I don't care about the quality or whatsoever... As long as football start to become the biggest sport in the state that's the most important thing
Anyone else from Atlanta 😏? Where they at
We are the A 👏👏👏👏
From way down south!!!
AND WE ARE HERE
Rowdy and Proud!!!
RESPECT
Thats my cityyy
this isnt football,getting down every satuday and tuesday to my local team tranmere,or waking up at 4 in the morning to sit on a train for 8 hours to watch us lose 2-1 away at boreham wood a team with a average gate of about 300 all to go back tired a sulk,thats football
Dude, so what you're saying is, the world cup isnt football, the champions league isnt football, that's the stupidest thing I've heard, you're just mad ATL Utd. Would probably beat Tranmere 😂😂
mls is the bundesliga shopping mall. They produce fine talent
When is this channel gonna post about Toronto FC! Gone from worst to first in the league, awesome fanbase and have a chance at mls history this weekend, against Atlanta away!
Good luck in CCL this year!
Eric Bernard Woah Woah Woah, we all know ATL in The best team in the MLS. Let’s be real here
Lol brits are such sad people. They're mad at the U.S. Because we're starting to like football...no wonder ya'll dont get any sun. You guys are so depressing. Everyone else who supports the growth, Thank you!
yeah fair enough good support but the comercial side to ur football is wrong
Ken O yer cringy as fuck then the accent makes it ten times worse nae gid hooligan groups no political differences between any teams in the mls same with religion there is no real hate hand hate is what makes a rivalry gid
They may’ve invented it but they’ve been getting left behind ever since. They talked trash about everyone outside of the UK before their first World Cup... then got beat by the US. 😂
Tadaia when did yous beat England ya spanner
Stevie bhoy 1950 World Cup in Brazil. The US won 1-0 against England.
i think europeans hate the structure of the MLS, it's completely alien to us and in our minds Anti-Football. The draft is stupid to us and only getting players fresh out of college seems like a waste to us Europeans. MLS 'clubs' are not clubs, they're franchises, which is stupid in a lot of our opinions. Yeah the Premier League is rich, but the teams in the league (and the lower leagues) have passionate and loyal fans, the MLS just doesn't have that, it seems like the only reason MLS was set up was to capitalise on the growing popularity of the sport in the states and get more money. There isn't even a relegation or promotion system, this eliminates all competition for those lower level teams, Why would a young player choose to play in MLS when greater oportunities are available elsewhere. In places like Europe and Brazil fans create epic shows of support, the intelligent chants of the English game and the masterful Tifos of other leagues, the MLS fans attempts are just cringy to us, they're almost too American. I think a lot of people dislike MLS because most americans completely disregard the sport as boring because it has low score lines and draws. Most Europeans love the growing popularity of the sport in the USA, they just dislike the way it feels like a business more than a sport.
We don't like our league either. Most American and MLS fans want four full divisions (MLS, NASL, USL1, USL2) with promotion and relegation. We eventually want to develop a thriving superleague with the FMF in Mexico and compete in Copa Libertadores.
But MLS owners don't want to wait for 50 years to build up a history and allow a team to go for a 5,000 seat stadium to a 50,000 or more seat stadium. They want to allow big markets like Atlanta to hit the ground running with 70k fans--50k of which are passionate, 90 minute, standing room only fans. It works incredibly in Atlanta because Atlanta is extremely culturally diverse. Like ridiculously so. And people are always looking for something to have pride in.
ProstheticScissor Hope that u americans get ur superleague soon. Make a campaign demanding it. It would be nice to see american clubs in the copa libertadores
All sports in America are a business. It's the sad truth, as an outsider I'd like to see it grow and get better for Americans. They dominate most sports already it'd be fun to see them in a serious "soccer" setting. I do think the MLS needs work, but it'll get better it's just an infant child.
I have to agree with this. Thank you for the constructive criticism
Sal Tamburello Look here chump, this is a pretty good analysis.
Absolutely amazing to see America to appreciate the beautiful game. IMO by like 2050 or 2060 football (soccer) will be more popular than american football or on the same level
They share the stadium with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons
Imagine if nfl had fans like atlanta united, more europeans would be interested for sure. Coz american sport fans are pathetic, its really the only way to describe em. U can hear a pen drop at the other end of the stadium at a nfl match
I doubt you've ever been to an NFL game because you sound ridiculous lol. The loudest recorded crowds in the guiness book of world records are NFL & college football games. They are not quiet
@@ATLMike94 right guy probably think just because we aren’t waving flags & lighting up flares that the atmosphere is bad
Pls go to an nfl game or college game
To all you EU people. we already have a sport called football, so we call that football and this soccer.
Murphanator L7 It’s not just called Football in Europe, it’s called Football in almost every country
But Europe invented the name soccer
Murphanator L7 but it makes no sence
Uou should say that to the whole world not europe
That sport is a piece of shit that nobody takes seriously outside of America.
Yeah, very nice. Play your soccer, grow your league but stay away from Libertadores. It's only for South Americans.
I don’t think anyone attempted to do that since its not about that.
Master_Chiky Pls kill me It's more about MLS than Atlanta. There's always rumors about your clubs join Libertadores.
Metalcore Dude what about Mexico they are working on a return
Dani Orta I think it's better do a cup final between Libertadores' champion and Concacaf's champion or Liga MX's champion(Mexicans always win Concacaf, don't? Idk). Mexico is too far away to play in a regular basis.
Metalcore Dude saprissa was the only non Mexican team to do so. They are from Costa Rica
"21 savage, playboi carti, these guys are rap geniuses" ???????? what?
I'm Canadian and while I'm happy to see the game growing in NA, I hate how the whole thing is structured. I hate the north american approach to pro sports where clubs are commercial entities that are assured to always be part of the top league. Football clubs were always about growing and gaining a foothold inside a community. MLS should have relegation and accession etc. I hate the ''franchise'' and drafting approach.
agreed but i dont think theres enough support in the us and canada to keep multiple divisions going if mls is trying to work from the top down. i think we have to start small like everyone else and build up the infrastructure to have smaller regional leagues that will promote into the lower usl divisions
How will they fare against teams outside of the mls?
Roque
we always lose against liga mx teams we pure shit
Liga MX teams are also improving at a fast rate which is why MLS teams always lose, but I feel that Atlanta united has potential to beat some.
Yea they suck. Going to a game is hype with the crowd, but watching at home shows they aren't all that good.
Rolls Reus no they couldn’t beat low championship side let alone prem
Roque Atlanta is becoming a legit club in just its 2nd year. They could easily win the MLS this season. I like their chances to at least compete at a high level.
