American soccer has spent decades focused on elite development while ignoring the most inclusive, community-connected version of the game. High school soccer is the goldmine nobody is digging. Georgia just proved what happens when you let it grow.

That is not how you want to leave Mercedes-Benz Stadium before a long road stretch. Atlanta United fell to LA Galaxy 2-1 at home on Saturday, and it was a match that felt like it had layers to it. The first half started well. Atlanta was doing good things. And then the referee became the story for a while, and that changed the feel of the game in a way that was hard to shake. The referee Fotis Bazakos was a main character on Saturday night at the Benz. (photo: Vanessa Angel f

Ted Turner died today at 87, and the obituaries are writing themselves. CNN founder. Braves owner. Superstation pioneer. America's Cup winner. The man who put Atlanta on the world map before Atlanta knew it belonged there. All of it is true, and all of it deserves to be said. But there is a chapter in Turner's relationship with this city and with this sport that is not making it into those obituaries, and it is one that soccer people in Atlanta should know. Because before Art

Josh Blank laid out the timeline for Atlanta's 2028 NWSL launch. The organization is not waiting for opening day to figure out who this club is supposed to be. Atlanta's NWSL team does not have a name yet. The crest, the logo, and the coach are all still to come. The chief soccer officer search is underway and the roster has not been assembled. From the outside, 2028 feels a long way off. From the inside, the work is already well underway. Arthur and Josh Blank at the Atlanta

Atlanta controlled less of the game than the scoreline suggests. What they controlled was the right part of it. Before the first ball was kicked Saturday night, the tactical shape of the match was already clear. Montréal under interim head coach Philippe Eullaffroy had simplified considerably from what Marco Donadel was attempting earlier in the season. The idea was pragmatic: sit compact, surrender possession voluntarily, defend with numbers, and punish Atlanta in transition

Atlanta United needed to keep stacking wins after the Toronto result and the Open Cup. And tonight, against Montréal, they did exactly that. Three goals, three points, and a performance that felt like more than just a result. It was a weird start, though. I have to be honest about that. Montréal scored in the sixth minute, and it came off a giveaway. Atlanta was too slow building out of the back, and Montréal does not press high unless they absolutely have to. Atlanta got cau

The first match of May for Atlanta United was the sixth match in 18 days for the Five Stripes, covering both MLS and US Open Cup play. It was an opportunity to go for a third win in a row.

"When you say you're with Atlanta, then people know and understand. Atlanta is U.S. soccer to people around the world." — Vic Rouse, Atlanta Chiefs head coach, February 1969 Atlanta did not discover soccer when Atlanta United arrived. Atlanta United discovered what had been here all along. This is that story. The history of soccer in Atlanta stretches back more than a century, to immigrant communities kicking a ball at Piedmont Park in 1908 and a handful of Scotsmen and Engli
