Podcast: Atlanta United vs. Philadelphia Union first look and predictions + Lori Lindsey

Many thought that Atlanta United’s 2026 couldn’t be worse than their 2025. After three matches, it certainly looks that way. (The tifo snafu against Real Salt Lake in the home opener was the perfect metaphor.)

Maybe a visit by the Philadelphia Union — also with zero points through three matches is just what the doctor ordered? On the latest edition of the Scarves and Spikes podcast, the guys take a look at the matchup with MLS on Apple TV match analyst Lori Lindsey (X, Bluesky), who will be on the call at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
