Atlanta United vs. Toronto FC preview with John Molinaro on Scarves and Spikes

Soccer is such an intense sport. The week after a win always brings an extra razzle to your dazzle, and you won’t find many natural highs that compare to what happened in Mercedes-Benz Stadium at the 98:04 mark of opening day. Savor the moment, because what Thiago Almada did in stoppage time is a small bottle of that magic that made Atlanta United so entertaining early in their history, and that atmosphere is what brought so many fans in the south to the beautiful game. That isn’t to say the style or play is anything like 2018, but the environment in Atlanta for that entire day was surreal.
