Great pod

Love me some Doug

Great Soccer Podcast.

The AJC soccer podcast is very informative and Doug doesn’t pull punches. You may not always agree with his opinion. But you have to respect his opinion.

A little too pessimistic

I try to appreciate Doug’s reporting on Atlanta United. I think he himself is a great guy, however I feel his takeaway on Atlanta United is overly pessimistic and rarely hopeful even when easily warranted. It isn’t rare that he reports a stat worse than it actually is and sometimes I wonder if it possibly affects his ability to report on Atlanta United in a fair manner. Most recent misreporting our road record. I feel mistakes like this could most harm the opinions of more causal fans who don’t research stats themselves and won’t realize the team is actually doing better than what was reported.
