Highs and Lows
The 2017 season has featured plenty of peaks and valleys for Atlanta United FC. The Five Stripes brought us one of the league’s most dynamic attacks when the season began, only to stutter through July and August. Conversely, an error-prone defense looked to be the main weakness early on, before finding their form during that same time when the attack dissipated. In all, AUFC hit this international break at 10-8-6, sitting sixth in the Eastern Conference, just above the so-called “red line” and in the playoffs.
Looking ahead, the month of September will likely decide Atlanta’s ultimate fate.
