Major League Soccer’s second United takes on the league’s third United in the first ever United Derby in MLS history. There’s a lot at stake in this game. For one thing, loser has to drop United and go by the name of the NHL team that moved out of their state for the rest of the season. Minnesota North Stars FC has a nice ring to it.
More importantly, nobody wants to start the season with two losses. Atlanta will look to steal a win but an away point in MLS is also a good result. The club will have its work cut out for it though with the positives and negatives from Sunday being hashed and rehashed across the MLS-o-sphere after what was a pretty impressive 75 minutes.
