Didn’t see him at the game or in photos. I find that really strange.

Bello and Goslin were there. I kept looking for AC as well.

Yes. Was very odd. No where to be found.
Even Patrick was there and he hasn’t played a minute with Atlanta United this year - he’s on loan to the battery.

I don't know if its a touchy subject with the family, so I don't really want to ask them.
Online it says his contract expires 12/31/2018

Twitterverse has him out partying before the big game and posting on Snapchat. Obviously, that didn't go over well w/ Tata.

Harsh punishment for sure
I can’t imagine he’s back next year - he needs to go somewhere where he is going to play.

oh, and was it me -- or did FOX do a terrible job with the camera's all night. zooming in to tight, they would keep the camera on players while the game was continuing elsewhere. the twitter world was complaining like crazy at the camera work.
bottom line -- portland looked terrible in the first half. Their touch was horrendous, and barely strung a pass together. AU was too damn good for them. AU is too deep and too talented for most teams in the MLS. Now without Almiron it could be a different story, I think he is the straw that stirs the drink.....him and Gressel!

Gressel impresses me as well. He still makes some errors that I think he will outgrow, but I just feel like he has gotten SO much better SO quickly. Very fast learner!

I was to lazy and cold to attend the parade, but the Carleton thing seems pretty serious.... I really wanted to see him in those celebrations.

Feel for the kid, but I bet he won't violate "team rules n policy" ever again.

I don’t feel sorry for him at all. He’s been given an amazing opportunity and he chose to party AND post about it on social media the night before. Yeah, NO!
I pounded it into my kids that every single thing they put on social media would follow them forever. They get it.
I get that he’s a kid and this is all heady for him, but grow up and act like a professional.
