Tonight the boys talk about the latest win for the 5 Stripes. Another buzzer beater, this time from Marcelino Moreno seals the deal on the road against DC United. A match that saw the first start for new signing Almada, and came with its fair share of new injuries to add to the report for the team. It now looks like Atlanta will be without a key piece in Ozzie Alonso as others continue to work to get healthy. There is still no news on the status of Josef Martinez this weekend, but the team will need to come up with answers quickly to keep the train on the tracks.Kevin, Tim and Dan are here to bring you a weekly look at their hometown MLS team – Atlanta United FC.

Atlanta United FC Weekly - a Home Before Dark Atlanta United Soccer and MLS Podcast
Tonight Dan and Kevin sit down to talk about the first ever ROYAL RUMBLE between the Kings of the South and the Queen City. A historic game that saw the first ever goal for Charlotte FC, that ultimately would not be enough after late game theatrics by Jake Mulraney to seal the win and 3 additional points for the 5 Stripes. Atlanta also saw the first showing for marquee signing Almada and the return of Ozzie Alonso into the starting 11. So far, Atlanta seems right on track where manager Gonzalo Pineda wants them to be, and given the additional players still waiting to take to the pitch, this 22' squad only looks to get stronger in MLS play in the weeks to come.Kevin, Tim and Dan are here to bring you a weekly look at their hometown MLS team – Atlanta United FC.

Doug discusses what went wrong in the Five Stripes first loss of the season, the latest on the health of veteran Ozzie Alonso, why Josef Martinez is struggling to get involved and answers your mailbag questions. Southern Fried Soccer is available wherever you get your podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts.
1: I'm not trying to minimize what's going on in the world right now but I feel really hopeful. If Dom Dwyer can score a goal in Atlanta United colors, anything is possible. I'm thrilled to have an additional attacking option up front THAT CAN SCORE. A very impressive start for DD coming off the bench way earlier than expected, playing on a position he's not meant to and scoring. 2: There's a great Mark Twain Quote. There are three things a wise man fears. The storm at sea, a night with no moon, and the rage of a calm patient man. Ozzie Alonso is that man. He's that intelligent controlling midfield presence we've been wanting, but he'll also cut you if pressed. That aggression is something we have been missing over the last couple seasons. Grant it, I'd prefer the yellows to come a little later but I'm happy to see a little
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 3, 2022 is: bona fides boh-nuh-FYE-deez noun A person's bona fides is the evidence of their qualifications or achievements. // The senator's bona fides as a viable presidential candidate have been called into question. See the entry > Examples: "Hoping to fulfill its desire for an experienced leader with MLS knowledge, Atlanta United signed free-agent midfielder Ozzie Alonso…. Alonso, 36, has made 338 appearances and his bona fides include winning four U.S. Open Cups, one MLS Cup, one Supporters' Shield, four All-Star teams and one Best XI." — Doug Roberson, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 23 Dec. 2021 Did you know? Bona fides looks like a plural word in English, but in Latin it is a singular noun that literally means "good faith." When bona fides entered English, it at first stayed very close to its Latin use, and it also kept its singular form—for example, "a claimant whose bona fides is unquestionable." But in the 20th century, use of bona fides began to widen, and it began to appear with a plural verb in certain contexts, such as "the informant's bona fides were ascertained."

We are all back together, live, and in-person for the shortest podcast this dumb podcast has ever recorded! We discuss the match against the LA Galaxy that the Loons tried to giveaway. Dave talks about his prowess as an MLS gambler and we discuss why in the ever-loving fuck was Frank Pain taking that penalty. All that, plus some NWSL playoffs, and we wish Captain Ozzie Alonso a happy birthday!
Defenders, the regular season is slowly coming to a close, but our beloved Black and Gold have not yet given up their fight for a playoff spot. LAFC headed out to Allianz Field in Minnesota to take on the Loons, and you can hear all about it here on Episode 174 of Defenders of the Banc!Despite being outplayed, and outplayed badly, through the first half-hour, LAFC were the first on the board thanks to our old friend, Tyler Miller. A curving free kick by Chicho, Chicho Arango (more on that below) found its way through the wall and, somehow, through the legs of our former keeper, to put LAFC up, 1-0. It stayed that way until the second half, when Minnesota was able to capitalize on a free kick of their own. Ozzie Alonso puts in the rebound for the equalizer, and LAFC leaves two of three points in Minnesota. It's a draw, 1-1, and, improbably, LAFC's playoff chances are still alive and kicking. The draw could be costly, however, as Kim Moon-Hwan left the game at halftime after receiving five stitches above his eye after colliding with the head referee. Yes, it's been that kind of season. LAFC will also be without the services of Jose Cifuentes for the next match due to yellow card accumulation. Couple that with the injuries to Atuesta and Ginella, and it's going to be a very thin midfield as the boys head back to the Banc to take on Seattle in just 72 hours. Yikes!Also on this episode, the boys (and Nina and Panda) head out to Premier League Mornings at the Coliseum. Spoiler alert: it was awesome! Panda wins airline miles, Scarf wins a jersey, and Filly meets his hall pass, Rebecca Lowe! We talk Dodgers, baby showers, and rum punch at 6:00 am. However, Defenders, the real treat lies at the end of this episode. Please... please stick around for the final 5 minutes or so to hear the world premiere of Filly's "Chicho Arango Song". We can promise you it's worth it, but we can't tell you when it'll be out of your head. Enjoy Episode 174!

Steve ends the podcast with his Big 3 Things as the Sounders prepare for both their final regular season match, and a hopefully long run in the postseason.
Ozzie Alonso’s force ghost is back and he has a chip on his shoulder. Sounders sneak away from the Longest (not underwater) bar in North America because of Jordan Morris’ sexy feet, and they need three points to secure second in the west. Arreaga has a case of the soft reds (hey, Pepto Bismol) just in time for our Big Boi’s LITERALLY historic dreads to return to action.

First up, Andrew’s 2019 MLS All-Star presented by Target XI. Got a chance, says Wiebe! Gonna get rolled by Atletico Madrid, says everyone else. Then it’s on to FC Cincinnati and Alan Koch – with plenty of props for the first-place Union – after comments from the coach that made it clear he believes the current squad isn’t enough to compete.
