We did it! We won! We no longer have a winless streak (at least for home openers)! Heck, we even held first place for a bit! But that game just seemed to have a bit of an easy quality to it. Our two goals came from very grave errors (Defense stopped for an “offside” and Rimando slipping to the wrong side) and later on most of the possession was in our half. We still haven’t gone up against good competition.
Enter stage right: Atlanta United. This expansion side has a lot of similar qualities to the Fire’s inaugural season if you look hard enough.
