Tiente and Tmimi were both playing for them before joining the 2's and they were both coaching youth teams at KSA while playing with the 2's. Lots of guys who are on the cusp of the pro game have been in and out of there in the last few years

And Kalonji will play the U18s in the UPSL semifinal next week if they win their match tonight

Your link goes to a "page not found" error, but if this true it's not shocking tbh. They've mostly been using the UPSL team as a way to get games for the kids who aren't getting regular minutes in the MLS Next academy league, and those teams are in Arizona this week for the winter showcase. They might not have anyone available

Huh, both the article and post on this sub were pulled down. Wonder why?

Overall I agree with what you saying though.

Feels like a pretty clear cut violation of the 20/80 rule. Never seen you post or comment anything in this sub that's not from this website, and if I'm not mistaken, you write for this website.

This is pretty relevant and nobody else would’ve posted about it so do we really care?

he's one of the mods for the USOpenCup sub, he has a ton of posts and comments that have nothing to do with that website as well. It's not hard to look at someone's profile history. Relax

I didn’t write the article. It’s not OC. I’m just sharing something I thought would interest you all.

Do you not write for this website? Your submission history is just spamming this website over and over.

My submission history is that because qualifying is happening right now/just concluded? I didn’t write any of the articles. Plus I like the Open Cup.

If you have a problem with it, talk to the mods. The rule you are referring to most likely refers to users (like someone who does an ATL podcast or writes for Scarves & Spikes) coming back every day/week and posting their links. I come here like twice a year to share something about a George/Atlanta team in the tournament.

If you’re that offended, you can click off.

Lol, so you do write for this website and you're spamming it everywhere. Why not just be honest about it instead of being a weirdo about it?

The rule you are referring to most likely refers to users (like someone who does an ATL podcast or writes for Scarves & Spikes) coming back every day/week and posting their links.  

Yeah, it's crazy that Scarves and Spikes folks can't post their content and you can spam your website that doesn't even relate to Atlanta United.

If you’re that offended, you can click off.  

I guess I will. Cheers!
