With the Go train situation being an absolute shit show, I think it will be a thin crowd for this one. Atlanta will be without their top striker and most likely their best midfielder. We should be able to pull a positive result from this one
Chance of snow and -5C isn’t going to help attendance either……
Almada is out?Originally Posted by Blindside16
Nope, Argentina didn't call him up for this one.
But being without Giakoumakis is very good for us. He's a fucking machine, that guy.
Scored a banger last night against Orlando.
apparently 6 atl players have been called for intl duty including almada for the arg u 23s
Atlanta United will play without several key players for its March 23 match at Toronto.
Because of international call-ups, the team will play without striker Giorgos Giakoumakis, midfielders Thiago Almada, Bartosz Slisz and Jay Fortune, fullback Caleb Wiley and centerback luis abarm.

Good catch! They made a note in the senior team story that he hadn't been called up "for tactical reasons" and I guess that's why, because he's playing for the junior team.
Well that greatly improves our chances.
Giorgio is on fire right now. Golden boot potential.
Would love to have a striker like that..
What is our lineup looking?

No Richie, No Oso, likely no Johnson or Petretta. No Flores, unfortunately.
So probably
-----------Owusu-----------
-----Insgine---Fede-------
JMR---Coello--Longstaff--Franklin
-----Rosted--Long--O'Neill
----------Gavran
...would be my guess.
Looks right to me, I hope we can see spicer for 20-30 mins.
atlanta will be missing giakoumakis and almada, which is huge.
they've scored 6 goals this year, GG has 4, almada 1, and GG has 1 assist.
This could turn into another ugly game unless we have at least 2 of 3 Petretta, Johnson, or Flores.
I'm just so done with Rosted.
If they are down and Akinola comes on, my screen will go black.
Atlanta's starting centre half Stian Gregerson is out with a knee injury.

flores is away with HON, Johnson meh Gavran is doing great.
With below freezing temps in the forecast, it’s going to be a sloppy game. Wonder if they take precautions with anyone simply due to the cold. Hopefully we see Insigne and Bernardeschi because with all the international absences, they are key to giving us a chance.
Games at night in March are an FU to players and fans alike.
Saturday forecast is plus 3 at 2pm, minus 4 at 7pm

Yup, totally agree.
Yeh with the transit mess and the temps, I am choosing to watch this one from home.
You can add another middle finger with no Go train service on Lakeshore West. My seats will be sitting empty. I'm not even gonna bother giving them away.
Given the freezing cold weather, players out, and GO Transit nightmare, as well as a Canada game earlier -- I'd be surprised if BMO isn't half empty or worse.

I would give mine away IF I could even find someone interested in going.
Does anyone know if the new bridge over the tracks, providing easier access from Liberty Village, will be open for this game again?
I need an extra if you've got it!
Atlanta down 5 starters including 2 dps (LB, cb, cm, cam, st).
Definitely more depleted than us especially if our 2 dps play.
I’m pretty sure they announced it would be opened temporarily for the game this weekend.
Game day
(I will watch the TFC highlights tomorrow morning.)
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Yeah, I would consider us the favorites. Especially playing at home in awful conditions.
But do you want our DPs to play? It'll be minus 8 with the wind chill, the refs are amateurs, Atlanta will mark them with scrubs who will scythe them like lumberjacks… someone is getting hurt with this setup, guaranteed.
I'd be fine if we rolled out TFC2 in its entirety for this insane game.
