Saturday night at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis figures to be a barn burner as Atlanta United and Minnesota United look to face off in a battle of upstarts. Both squads began their inaugural season in 2017, one with considerably more fanfare than the other.
Atlanta was not only new last year, but good. They reached the postseason and boasted a boisterous crowd that set attendance records for all but one MLS club. Still, many around the league want to know if they’re for real.
Atlanta United vs. Minnesota United
At Mercedes-Benz Stadium, AUTD players are focused on the task at hand. “I don’t know that [our goals] have changed, they’ve just maybe gotten a little bit loftier,” technical director Carlos Bocanegra told ESPN. “The realistic goal and challenge is to be in that conversation and be challenging for the Cup every year.”
The Minnesota club stands in utter contrast to the immediate success experienced by Atlanta.
“We are a long, long way from where I want — and where the club wants — us to be,” Minnesota coach Adrian Heath was quoted by ESPN FC as saying. “That is just the reality of where we are at this point in time. We live in a here-and-now world. Everybody wants to go on reality TV and be a star overnight. Nobody wants to put in the work that takes years.”
Determined to get the dub.

Atlanta’s Josef Martinez is No. 1 in the league in goals scored (four) and Miguel Almiron is tops in shot attempts (22). That bodes well for the Five Stripes.
Last season, Atlanta beat Minnesota in its home-opener 6-1, something they’re trying to avoid this time around.
“It was samba football, just everybody wanting to attack and press forward without the right kind of balance,” midfielder Rasmus Schuller told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “And playing a team like Atlanta that has loads of talent up front, and people running behind the line, you get exposed. And that’s kind of what happened last season. So we don’t want to do that again.”Atlanta is coming from a week off after winning back-to-back matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Now, they head up north for what promises to be a fairly frigid evening.Here’s how to keep up with the match

Lost in the excellent performances of Donald Glover, Lakeith Stanfield and the other stars of the FX hit “Atlanta,” is the awesome music. Robbin’ Season is not only the sophomore campaign of the show, but the title of a soundtrack as good as any bangin’ album from city royalty like T.I., Gucci Mane or Migos.
Standout cuts include songs from various groups, all of them big fans of the show and its maestro, Glover, aka Childish Gambino.
Check out the AtlantaFX Robbin’ Season Soundtrack
When you think about it, much of “Atlanta” revolves around music. One of the main protagonists, Paper Boi, is a rapper. And Earn, his cohort, has taken on the mantle of trying to manage him and navigate the industry.

We told you about the recent opening of Chai-Yo, the Thai restaurant making a mighty name for itself in Buckhead.
Not only does the joint have to-die-for fare like “Plah Pla Meuk” a grilled marinated octopus in lime juice, Neau Panang and Khew Wan Kai, but it also has a pretty mean beverage program (Beverage programs are fancy terms for drink menus).
We’re giving you an assignment: Go to Chai-Yo and order the Nam Dok cocktail. The eatery recently posted about it on its Facebook page. Its comprised of Vodka, Falernum, Citrus, Butterfly Pea Flower.
The magic happens though when the bartender adds citrus. It changes to the color PURPLE.
