There’s not getting around it: Sunday was a tough night in the Atlanta United locker room. The team has been open about their high expectations for the season, so the players weren’t making excuses after falling short of silverware in the final match.
“Shocking,” added Brad Guzan. “Today was not what we expect from ourselves.”
“It was very disappointing,” added Michael Parkhurst. “The Supporters Shield was a big goal of ours. We haven’t been quiet about that. We wanted to go out there and win it for a long time now. We put ourselves in a good position to do that but we just didn’t show up today when it was the biggest game.
