In this episode of the podcast “Southern Fried Soccer,” Doug Roberson of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution discusses Atlanta United’s issue with having four Designated Players, the possible solutions, the short-term and long-term impact on the club and league, and what he thinks may happen. He also briefly discusses the U.S. men’s national team’s 3-0 win over Panama, and says something you probably didn’t think he’d ever say.....in the past few years.
