KDB Football* not soccer

Thistle 1876 can’t we all just have a good time knowing we like the same sport? I was told soccer is the name of the game, That’s what I call it, football to me is the NFL

@@akulakaboom i think soccer is 4th popular sports in US， followed by american football , basketball，baseball and hockey，am i right？

Yeah go to a vancouver whitecaps game in the summer and see how crowded the stands are.

Soccer is 3rd 1st American Football 2nd Basketball 3rd ice hockey 4th REAL FOOTBALL (don’t call it soccer)

Лазар Лазар because of Atlanta

Not really... not YET... only at the finals!

@@RW_CreativeMedia I'll be honest with you, we have some amatuer players here in Brazil that would have much more skills with the ball than some of these players, you guys really need to pick up some skills or develop your own {but it must work on a game} because this final game here made me bored as i never been before while watching a soccer game.

Soccer is boring period. Hardly anything happens, the field is way too big, and the clock moves backwards, but I still find this more exciting than the premier league or whatever league they have in Brazil. I care about our leagues. We have a different way of developing talent here anyway, and I see it paying off. Amateurish? I don't know what game you were watching, but I saw some significant competition here.

Richard WILSON lmao Atlanta gets 70,000 per game not just a finals some other teams do struggle but there a lot Of teams getting 10,000+ per game

The mls final was in atlanta thats why.

S.F.C. United uh.. Atlanta was in the mls final the teams in the super bowl were from California and Massachusetts

its soccer not football

@@wade2bosh If you're braindead then yes

Soccer o futbol is sport king in the world . apasionity unica ⚽🏅

Julio Sica wrong North America is also gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllll gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllll and maybe a few more of those. Don’t forget North America also includes Mexico.

@@jonathanbaeza4824 im so stupid how did i forget

No Spain: Goallllaasoooo

Yeaaa is very nice

Nope. There's a GOOOOOAAL sponsored by audi.

That's a Liberian flag

Who cares you are from Hungary

STEFAN BIAM'Z Seems so far 30 people

Yeah!

Same

actually your team was good at second half but your forward was weak to score a goal

BuffaloMafia716 The Falcons are still cursed. Atlanta is okay

@@llkensowavyll Atlanta U were superb these last two seasons ... there was no doubting who should win the trophy. That stadium is surely the best sports stadium in the country ... well, 70000+ soccer fans says everything ... in the USA! 8)

@@llkensowavyll hey honest question: Y'think it's about time to get rid of Matty Ice and Julio and see what we can get for them in regards of rebuilding/upgrading the team?

Considering their aaf team got smacked last night, no

Hawks are still bad

Brian Padilla Atlanta may not win since they will a different team with some key players possibly not returning and a new coach.

Jonathan Baeza sadly I agree, especially the coaching part. They have some great players coming in. But we still don’t know who’s gonna be Tatas replacement.

@@mariopalomino8554 Pity Martínez just won the Libertadores (a much tougher and with better football competition) he is coming to Atlanta, Barros Scellotto is a great coach also, maybe they will bring Benedetto or someone else, Josef deserves to go to Europe with almiron, they are world class

They would walk CCL ... if these players and coach weren't leaving. They are the most exciting team in the whole of the Americas - and they're being disbanded. It's criminal, it really is.

@@jazzx251 Atlanta United is not the best team of the American continent, MLS league is still very trash, it has a lot of money but it is trash

Saludos desde ARGENTINA!!!

Russian teams don't always play on grass. Too cold. You cannot grow grass in that stadium. No sunlight.

@@goonergraves9931 you can still install a retractable pitch so it can grow outside of the stadium many European clubs do it that way

John Graves lmao 95% of clubs have real grass in their stadium, wtf u even saying.

@@Die4dutch2 I'm saying that not everyone in the world plays on grass...particularly teams located in very cold climates. In the case of Atlanta United, indoor stadiums.

John Graves yh i get that but Atlanta Should be very easy. They have the resources and money to easily have real grass. Its a shame really that a club of that size plays on artificial grass. Look at Johan Cruijff Arena (AJAX Stadium) iT has a roof which is mostly closed in winter and iT aint very warm either there. Yet they have superb grass cuz its easy.

How tf did you see that!?

Chandler Apple I have really good eyes I'm kidding, he mentioned it on his podcast, and where he was sitting so I knew to look for it

@@dirtybirdperson4020 Heard it too.

Zook 3961 Portland is the last team you want to play against in the shootout

Portland are penalty warriors bro

Che rembo

hi

Portland, no doubt.

Not gonna lie, American football is not that bad. I still think real football is much better

I like both

Well, you can like both

American football nowhere competes near real football😉⚽️

@Ploke Newo78 America football is not as popular as soccer lol

That would be nice

Vai ser estadio da copa

Not over. MLS is not a big 4 sport

PENSDYNASTY 2020 make it big 5. MLS is growing

@@GLee-oe3op not big 5. MLS cant even reach a billion dollars in revenue yet. The quality is trash, and only cities that care are seatle and atlanta.. and that's only cause seatle doesnt have a nbA and nhl team. MLS players still get paid only like 150k..

PENSDYNASTY 2020 the quality is awesome at all games for all teams and plus MLS is the youngest sport so it is currently growing

@@brennanlfc3689 growing and yet it's still billions of dollars behind the big 4. The average salary is barely above 300k. The minimum salary for an NBA, NHL, and MLB player is 2-3x higher...

It's a big country alot of the fans are people that grew up on soccer or had their kids on soccer teams growing up or new fans of the game.

Josef es

Mourinho's sacked...

You meant Florentin Pogba?? lol

El mas grande es el LA Galaxy, la MLS varios derbis locales aunque no ha desarrollado un Clásico nacional

The one from season 22 in the case😅

Lol, I'm here for the same reason.

chainsaws are banned from Atlanta's stadium, so Timber Joey wasn't allowed in.

It's so dumb

I'm from Brazil and I can tell you that over here most people, being fans or media, usually look upon MLS with sympathy and wish for football to grow in the US. I was very disappointed the USMT didn't make it to the World Cup.

MLS is getting better, no doubt. What is keeping MLS be really competitive or the best league in the Americas is the salary cap. We are the only league in the Americas that has salary cap in place which limit how much a team can spend. It's good for parity in the MLS but not good when you compete against other leagues that have no such thing in place.

@@oyaml1211 I think salary caps are good to help keep competition fair throughout all teams. There are small citiies that would not stand a chance if they had to compete against one or two teams with cash to spare. The league needs to grow first before it can relax some of the rules later. I for one wish salaries donxt get on the way of allowing fans yo buy tickets at reasonable prices.

Maybe having the salary cap in place is a good thing at this point. If you look at how the things are in Spain, France, Portugal, Germany... It's basically 2 or 3 teams battling for the title, year after year. Everybody else is merely an extra for they don't have the big money to invest. After a while, it gets boring. That's one of the reasons I watch the MLS instead: it's much more levelled, and anyone can win.

@@marciocoelho2481 Me too ... I'm UK ... I can take or leave the EPL, it's nice when it's on. But I never miss MLS - I watch as many games as I can. Anything can happen. What would I rather watch ... Man City v Chelsea or Atlanta v Portland ... Atlanta v Portland, easily

@K Noche The free kick that resulted in the 2nd goal was due to a high kick... not a tackle. Not sure what you are talking about but you clearly don't understand how the game works.

Josef**

Because they earned it.

Rules

@K Noche that cause the east is better dude.

K Noche we just have the best side

@K Noche I think you're right. I would get rid of the playoffs, and merge the teams into one division. Most points wins, simple as... like in every other country. Atlanta would still have won - I don't think there's many that would question that they were the best team in the whole league.

@K Noche But wait a minute...didn't the East host an MLS Cup final before this POR/ATL tilt...and the West (Seattle) won the Cup on the road?! And wasn't Toronto's title also claimed ON THE ROAD?! 😝😝

@K Noche They hosted because their teams finished with the best record. It makes sense and is fair. We are already stuck with playoffs, so stop trying to make them worse by rendering the entire season pointless... I'm tired of people who watch one game and wondering about this...

Thanks! I assume you’re British? If so, thanks for not being a Eurosnob LOL

KawaiiToast bruh im turkish...

@@elturco7301 He wasn't insulting you, brother- just guessed wrong. How do you think this league compares to the one in Turkey?

Abdu oof 😂 either way thanks tho

Ian Wright The Turkish fans are much more emotional and louder, but the MLS is much more exciting

Muito mimimi

It's called the club world cup And the MLS teams have to win the concacaf champions league first in order to qualify for the club world cup

That was only in one game and not even in this sport

But they are a choking state. Nobody watches MLS outside Atlanta. The curse still lives. Win q championship in the big 4 sports and then talk.

@@wowbruh2511 '95... Guess we'll talk now

Ruben T its turf

@@raulmenjivar9 That turf looks absolutely abysmal. Abysmal. It looks moth-eaten and threadbare. Considering the stadium cost 1.6 billion dollars to build, the least they could do is keep the field pristine.

​@@Emper0rH0rde The owner of Atlanta United also owns the city's American football team, so they share stadiums. What do you expect

Wtf are you talking about, he's amazing

No, not. They have not a very good roster and now they have a bad head coach.

@@UnknownPerson-uw4rh How are not they going to have a good list? if with only Josef and Almiron they take the stolen game to all

No as Liverpool are not the best

@@UnknownPerson-uw4rh These wrong, Josef Martinez continues to break, yesterday made a poker against the Tijuana of Mexico in a friendly, with that add the signing of the Pity Martinez more Ezequiel Barco and say that also arrived the brother of Pogba, the Atlanta goes by the concachampions and are Reforzand or down Almiron

I don't know if there really is a definitive answer to why. One reason is because they were winning. It's easy to draw fans when you win. A bit deeper is that Atlanta is something of a sleeper town when it comes to soccer. One thing some people didn't really consider when they were saying MLS wouldn't work in Atlanta was that Atlanta has a fairly significant immigrant population. Having been at many games, it is always awesome to see the diversity at their games. So Atlanta had a good potential basis of support from the start. They hired a coach that brought an attacking style that was fun to watch, even when they lost. For those first 2 years, it was something of a running gag to say "when Atlanta plays, someone is getting blown out. It might be Atlanta, it might be their opponent" because Atlanta tended to keep attacking, even to the point of leaving themselves open at the back. After Tata Martinez left (he was never going to stay more than a couple years, to be honest), we ended up hiring a coach who preferred a more deliberate style, and it hampered the team built for a different style. So things have been a bit more tempered the last couple of seasons. It doesn't hurt that Atlanta's stadium (built for both football and soccer) has a greater potential capacity than most (probably all) soccer-specific stadiums in the country. Even the "normal" capacity for soccer games of roughly 42K is greater than most of them, while for bigger games it can fit roughly 72K. I'm sure this isn't really a complete answer, but I hope it helps.

@@aethyr6776 omg, thank you for your explanation. Apreciate that 👍🏼

Because they earned the right.

@@fighterck6241 probably like a match fixing

@@jerjastrs95 No they had a better record during the season...

@@fighterck6241 ouw that's the rule? I didn't thought that for once

@@jerjastrs95 Even if it wasnt a rule, ther would be a 50-50 percent chance of either stadium getting picked for the final. Ridiulous to think that it's match fixing for a split second. ATL was also the better team throughout the season, so they deserved the title

They're extended highlights mate. Yous houldve looked at how long the video was before watching it
