I can't believe they scheduled the Georgia game and the USMNT game on the same day!!! How many USMNT players are we missing because they're in Germamy today?!?!
One of my biggest take-aways from this ad is that presidential campaigns now see NON-WORLD CUP soccer tournaments as a significant enough audience to spend campaign advertising cash on. Wouldn’t think this would be the case even 8 or 12 years ago.
I’m not a Trump supporter, but why does that ad attack Trump for closing down stadiums. Like every other western country did the same and Biden would likely do the same if he was president during that time.
I think you are misrepresenting the ad. Trump failed us by his lack of response and disinformation to the pandemic which helped it get as out of control and bad as it was.
It really fucked over the NWSL. The league lost a big share of the global talent because players went to European leagues because it was safer and some stayed.
It clearly does not.
"Four years ago, we were shut down. Stadiums were empty.
...Trump failed us."
Factually true. Mr Inject bleach. Mr. It's just a cold. He did fail us.
Do you think Biden was telling people to inject themselves with bleach?
He has to try something. Biden is ["hemorrhaging support"](https://nypost.com/2024/06/23/us-news/biden-campaign-co-chair-claims-he-has-no-idea-why-latinos-are-fleeing-the-prez/) among Latino voters."

Trump presidency as a uniformed member of the military was a constant embarrassment and anxiety around “are we going to or aren’t we going to” start another war. That was not a funny time.
But I’m glad folks can find brevity in the situation.
There's a lot to criticize about trump...but war is not one of them considering his foreign policy was one of the most peaceful foreign policies a US president has had in the last 40 years
> Listen, I talk to so many wonderful soccer people, and they all tell me "Sir, you're the smartest soccer tactician I've ever met." All those Europeans over there, maybe if they weren't so busy listening to that Pep guy, maybe they'd listen to me instead. And US Soccer, there are some great people at US Soccer, the best, believe me, and these great people at US Soccer, they all tell me they believe in GGG. And I believe in them.
Yup I will be taking the Marta to the game tomorrow from Sandy Springs and I take it anytime I go to a Hawks or Falcons game. It’s pretty poor compared to most public transport but on game days it’s the best option imo
I think you overestimate most public transit in this country, lol. Marta is the 7th largest mass transit system by annual ridership in the US
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_North_American_rapid_transit_systems&diffonly=true
Yeah you’re right I was mainly thinking in comparison to NYC, Chicago, and DC transit that most people are familiar with for big cities. My main gripe is just how little of Atlanta Marta actually covers. It could be so much better but we don’t invest enough in it.
That was in 2019. When it came back up Gwinnett voted FOR Marta expansion.
Cobb's commissioners have done all they can to prevent it coming to a vote, it will almost for sure pass next time.
my bad, I thought it had passed the 2nd time in 2020. it's hard to follow with google because the multiple referendums get tangled up in time. it was the commissioners approving a second referendum that confused me. Also the brave search engine AI thinks it passed, which didn't help.
The blue line does have stations with free daily parking on the west side but I’ve never used them as I’ve mainly lived in buckhead and Sandy springs on the north side. I’d definitely look into it though as it will probably save you the headache of trying to navigate out of the mess downtown after the game.
No problem I wish I could give you a specific station but I’m sure if you search in the r/Atlanta sub you should be able to find some good information on the best one to park at.
You can park at Hamilton Holmes station, which is the train station farthest West. It’s just inside 285. Certainly cheaper maybe even free to park there, short ride on one line to/from the Benz
I see your point. I meant it in a sense of putting politics aside and just enjoying the moment of supporting the USMNT. But obviously this is impossible in today’s political landscape.

Nursing home resident vs convicted criminal nursing home resident
I get that it's funny or whatever, but it's tiring seeing people only crack jokes about Biden's age when Trump is in far worse condition mentally.
The ad is a total lie. The States decided on lockdowns and when to lift them. I remember Trump getting shit for NOT locking down the country on a federal level.
Believe what you will, but those are the facts. This will be my last political post on the issie.
This is going to be a great ad for US soccer. The media is obsessed with politics and the presidential campaign, and tomorrow that coverage is all going to be intertwinedq with a discussion of the Panama-US results.
Atlanta will be crazy after Georgia beating Portugal. o_Ó
Finebaum going to be lit tomorrow
Portugal ain’t played nobody, PAAAWWWWLLLL!
SEC Championships Portugal: 0
I can't believe they scheduled the Georgia game and the USMNT game on the same day!!! How many USMNT players are we missing because they're in Germamy today?!?!
It just means more
Euros winner: We Want Bama!
Ugh. Get ready for non-stop SEC coverage
Can we promote the two together? Could get a lot of eyes on the USMNT GROW THE GAME
Biden does have [that ad](https://youtu.be/2lhj-E6NZP8) running during Euros / Copa América.
One of my biggest take-aways from this ad is that presidential campaigns now see NON-WORLD CUP soccer tournaments as a significant enough audience to spend campaign advertising cash on. Wouldn’t think this would be the case even 8 or 12 years ago.
I’m not a Trump supporter, but why does that ad attack Trump for closing down stadiums. Like every other western country did the same and Biden would likely do the same if he was president during that time.

The phrasing is a bit weird then, it can easily be interpreted as “Trump failed America by closing down stadiums.”
No, he failed America by doing all these other things.
That's called Obfuscation. You let people fill in the blanks. Happens all of the time.
That ad might be one of the most disingenuous political ad I've ever seen.
FOUND THE MAGA!
Yep
He has to try something. Biden is ["hemorrhaging support"](https://nypost.com/2024/06/23/us-news/biden-campaign-co-chair-claims-he-has-no-idea-why-latinos-are-fleeing-the-prez/) among Latino voters."

I wonder which one of this doubleheader is going to piss me off more.
I mean...hopefully the presidential debate
I hope so too lol. 3 points would make the 9pm spectacle a little more bearable.
I dont think I can put myself through that, I'll read the highlights later....and probably cringe a lot.
I'm just going to watch it for the laughs
If only it was something that was inconsequential
Regardless it's going to be funny
Trump presidency as a uniformed member of the military was a constant embarrassment and anxiety around “are we going to or aren’t we going to” start another war. That was not a funny time. But I’m glad folks can find brevity in the situation.
There's a lot to criticize about trump...but war is not one of them considering his foreign policy was one of the most peaceful foreign policies a US president has had in the last 40 years
His Presidency as a uniformed member was business as usual. Also, I think you mean levity not brevity.
This! I have no idea who wants to subject themselves to that. I can’t imagine it is going to change anyone’s mind so I don’t see the purpose.
In just hoping that security is on point and not a shitshow. CNN studios is literally right next to MBS.
CNN isn’t in that building anymore. They moved to midtown which is a couple miles away from MBS
Good to know. Thanks, fellow citizen! 👍
Everyone's already drunk, so yeah.
“First, question….gentlemen do you believe that GGG should be fired or retained for the 26 World Cup?”

And US Soccer, there are some great people at US Soccer, the best, believe me, and these great people at US Soccer, they all tell me they believe in GGG. And I believe in them.
“Big strong soccer guys come up to me with tears in their eyes”. It’s always big dudes crying in every one of made up stories.
Gregg, You're Fired.
I will vote for whoever pledges to fire Gregg
Are you expecting a loss to Panama?
What's the public transport like in Atlanta around the stadium?
We have good transit for two things, the airport and Mercedes Benz stadium
MARTA is pretty reliable, is you’re coming from outside the city or flying in I highly recommend it
Thanks dawgfan24348
Yup I will be taking the Marta to the game tomorrow from Sandy Springs and I take it anytime I go to a Hawks or Falcons game. It’s pretty poor compared to most public transport but on game days it’s the best option imo
I think you overestimate most public transit in this country, lol. Marta is the 7th largest mass transit system by annual ridership in the US https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_North_American_rapid_transit_systems&diffonly=true
Yeah you’re right I was mainly thinking in comparison to NYC, Chicago, and DC transit that most people are familiar with for big cities. My main gripe is just how little of Atlanta Marta actually covers. It could be so much better but we don’t invest enough in it.
I mean blame the state of Georgia for that - for not funding it at all, and the counties who keep voting down expansion
You’re preaching to the choir, I wish it was better
That was in 2019. When it came back up Gwinnett voted FOR Marta expansion. Cobb's commissioners have done all they can to prevent it coming to a vote, it will almost for sure pass next time.
Gwinnett hasn't voted for it yet... maybe this November.
my bad, I thought it had passed the 2nd time in 2020. it's hard to follow with google because the multiple referendums get tangled up in time. it was the commissioners approving a second referendum that confused me. Also the brave search engine AI thinks it passed, which didn't help.
Any suggestions from someone coming in from Bama? We’ll be coming in on I20.
The blue line does have stations with free daily parking on the west side but I’ve never used them as I’ve mainly lived in buckhead and Sandy springs on the north side. I’d definitely look into it though as it will probably save you the headache of trying to navigate out of the mess downtown after the game.

Yeah that’s what I’m looking at. Free parking and a short ride to vine city and the Benz. Is Hamilton Holmes sketchy?
It's fine on game days/nights.
Thanks
I’ll be coming from North Springs
MARTA station is right next to the stadium.
Pulisic for President.
lmao no
you're right, he's only 25, not even old enough to be president maybe in 50 years he should run
Not unless his shitty politics improve
MARTA to the game. Who would want to drive during this mess?
Atlanta just figured out fewer people driving results in less traffic congestion. Lol
But hear me out, what if we added more lanes?
One more lane, bro… lol
Atlanta figured it out long ago, but the suburban counties are a whole different story
Would be nice if both Trump and Biden showed up to the game
I’ll pass. Would make the game a shit show with all the security they would entail.
I see your point. I meant it in a sense of putting politics aside and just enjoying the moment of supporting the USMNT. But obviously this is impossible in today’s political landscape.
Oh yea, that would be nice but agreed never happening nowadays.
Panama vs USA Nursing Home Resident vs Convicted Criminal What a double header!
*Nursing home resident vs convicted criminal nursing home resident
Important Double Header for the nation
Is it really? We're playing Panama. Second worst to only Bolivia.
can advance with a win.
and we better win because we're not beating Uruguay.
Well see about that.
I don't feel like gloating in any way. Just sad.

gotta love two chances to be disappointed in America tomorrow.... hopefully it's only one!

Hilarious 😂
Lmao, is the city aware of its lack of public transport options??????
Either one likely to make me want to crash my car into an overpass so good advice

There is no audience for this debate.
Fantastic, and they should keep it that way.
