Atlanta United’s playoff hopes were officially dashed after a bizarre 5-4 loss to the Columbus Crew on Saturday night. Not much for the guys to discuss, rather than what’s next and what the team can do to gain goodwill going into 2026, how Atlanta conceded 5 goals in the first half, along with the very real chance of Ronny Deila getting sacked on the back of this performance (and much of 2025 as a whole).
