I bought tickets back at the beginning of June for tonight's Atlanta United match vs Miami/Messi. And of course he misses his first MLS game...

The kiddos & I were bummed that we didn't get to see Messi in person though. At least Miles and ATL won 5-2!

I'm not sure if Messi will play on turf FYI for future tix.

They/he said that wasn't the reason. But one I still think played into it... along with just a rest day.

It's not like Uncle Arthur can't put some grass down in Mercedes Benz... they did just a few weeks ago for the 2 Champions League Summer Classic matches.

St. Louis City SC is the best expansion team in MLS history. Are they the best in any sport? — USA TODAY

St. Louis City SC just set the record for most wins by an expansion team in its inaugural season in MLS history. How does it compare to other leagues?

Miles Robinson signed with FC Cincinnati. He was probably the top free agent available, and I'm sure will be getting paid well by Cincy. As an Atlanta United fan, I'm bummed but wish Miles nothing but the best. I wonder if he is missing out on signing with an overseas club though.

Cavan Sullivan (Philadelphia Union) made some history last night. At 14 years and 293 days old, Sullivan became the youngest player to appear in a league match for a major professional league in the United States, breaking Freddy Adu’s record set in 2004 by 13 days.

Cavan has a clause in his contract that’s calls for a transfer to Man City once he turns 18. It’ll be interesting to see how he grows and progresses. He’ll be eligible to play for the US or Germany.

Edit: some video…

It's a cool story but I think hyping up a kid who's so young is a dicey path. Let him develop quietly. Last thing he needs is the casual US soccer thinking he's a cant-mess phenom that will be a global superstar.
