In this episode of the podcast “Southern Fried Soccer,” host Doug Roberson of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previews Atlanta United’s match at Orlando on Saturday. It’s the regular-season finale for both teams. Atlanta United needs to win and hope that at least two other results go its way. You’ll hear from interim manager Rob Valentino and players Saba Lobjanidze, Stian Gregersen and Jay Fortune. Roberson also answers your questions about the MLS team.
And a special bonus: Apalachee boys varsity soccer coach Vegas McCain joins to talk about the soccer program’s experience visiting Atlanta United on Wednesday.
