As the clock ticks towards kickoff, I’m sure that Gio and the Timbers are doing their homework on Atlanta United. With a draw during the regular season, both teams are at different places now than they were then. I think that the Timbers were the ones to change more than this ATLUD squad - but still different teams.
Atlanta United lost the Supporters Shield on Decision Day, the Timbers locked up the fifth seed and set a date for Dallas, Texas. Two vastly different paths to end up at the same point in the road where the MLS Cup runs through Mercedes Benz stadium.
