Atlanta United 3-2 DC United: Recap, Rate and React

Final Whistle Recap and Thoughts

• I’m sorry to inform everyone that despit the three points, I’m not very enthused about this team’s prospects going forward. Credit to them for the win, but it was an average-at-best performance over the worst team in MLS. They very well could’ve lost the three points in the final moments. How is a performance like this going to work out on Wednesday in Philadelphia?
• Josef Martinez scored from the run of play, which hopefully will give the striker a boost. Manager Gonzalo Pineda has been saying that Josef could just need a goal to break the seal on a run of better form, so we’ll see if that plays out.
• I’m not very — actually, I’m going to stop there. I don’t want my pessimism to infect the tenor of the thread. What did y’all think? Am I crazy?
