I oddly have a good feeling about this game on Sunday

Villa should probably avoid doing stupid things on Sunday
Yeah, that's not good. If I had the time, I would go through and try and find video of all the crap Josef was pulling off the ball that I could see from 238.
Not trying to diminish what Villa is doing there, but glass houses and all that stuff.
Interesting. Didn’t see that one during the match, but I did see Villa yelling at him to get up and Red Head was holding his nuts while writhing around on the ground. Maybe it was the same play and he felt the arm to the face in his balls?
At any rate, coming from a team that has Martinez and Pirez fouling non-stop and not getting called by the ref, this is laughable.
With all due respect, hating on a MLS team because they have an outstanding following is dumb. This is a league that, what, 10 years ago nobody gave a shit about?
We should all want every expansion team to have a huge fan base. It won’t happen, but we should all want that.
Now let’s pound them into oblivion on Sunday.
Just to clarify, I have no sympathy for Atlanta fans, as their players got away with just as much stupid stuff in the game.
I am more just frustrated that Villa would be that stupid, with VAR now in effect. It’s not something I remember seeing, or getting mentioned by the commentators during the game, but I have to wonder if Larentowitz falls down, clutching his face are we looking at another playoff red card?
Especially after the first VAR in history of MLS was given to Villa lol.
ETA: no, turns out Diego chara had gotten one earlier in that preseason.
Also, I was on the ATL reddit and man, whoever said it wasn't kidding, but they reaaalllyyyyy dislike Geiger. It's quite funny to read!
Yeah the ATL reddit thread on Geiger is hilarious. I think they hate him even more than we do.
There’s also a thread about how Villa is a useless, dirty player. Comical.
To be clear, I’m not hating on their attendance. Good for them. I am hating all of MLS pundits hanging from Atlanta’s nuts just because they get a lot of fans. The fawning over Atlanta by MLS Digital is ridiculous.

I want Villa to hat trick Atlanta on Sunday and we advance. Please Villa. Do it. Do it so I can troll r/AtlantaUnited.
Lately I've mostly been hating on our attendance. Honestly, props to Atlanta and their FO. CFG take note.

I think the absolute worst reffing assignment we could get would be Chapman as the ref and Geiger on the VAR
It’s not a media outlet — it’s in-house PR. Their job is to fawn.
Their job is to create an engaging and lucrative entertainment product. So I guess whatever draws people in.
I agree with this, but oddly Chapman was the guy who reffed our 2-2 draw against Atlanta in April, including awarding a PK to NYCFC and waving off Nagbe's long distance strike for offsides (the later with the help of VAR).
