Atlanta United saved their second worst half of soccer for a home game in front of 70,000 fans last weekend. Between missing Leandro Gonzalez-Pirez and Ezequiel Barco, Atlanta could not create scoring chances while Eric Remedi watched the entire Columbus Crew attack run past him as Florentin Pogba was doing... something? And the result was a flat 3-1 loss. It was an afternoon of missed opportunities and questionable decisions.
If I were a real soccer writer, I would tell you that it is bad to use cliches - this is spelled out in style guides for websites that have rejected my work the world over - but Saturday was truly a Tale Of Two Halves.
