Oh London Public is fantastic! Love what you did with them. Super creative. I hope you devote a full thread to this side series at some point. Public is my early rooting favorite.


And go Duuuuuuuvallllllll.

Duuuuuuval's looking good, feeling a bit of Juventus from the logo. (Additionally, in the logo there's a "J" because of the split, was that intentional 'cause it's quite clever.)

Let's go Athletic, win it for the CLT!

I really like all your British Isles teams, although I think not having all the kits be the exact same design would be a bit more realistic.

London Public looks like all class. I love when that style of lion is used, actually like to see any animal used in a traditional crest type way. Again, the font is awesome! Out of the park! Like the chest stripe and the blue/red/(what Im guessing is) blue primary kit. The chest looks so odd without a sponsor, but I like the tradition to it.

Now, to head back and comment on the looks of the teams from the colonies. Minneapolis would be perfect if Kellogg's would just change their logo to white to let that look thrive. Not their fault, so they still get a 10/10. Same case with LA, I am not a huge fan of their logo, but the unique take on vertical stripes is stunning. Idk what the right way to go with the sponsor would be, but the way In-N-Out handled it does not seem right. What is up with their "O"?  Atlanta is simple and classy. They might be my favorite all together look coming out of the group stage, so far. Peach primary is what puts them so far up there. The strikers are also done well. I like the subtle lightning bolt a lot, and although the Wawa logo is red, I think it fits in well.

Saturday's Recap

Atlanta Arsenal 1 - Philadelphia Strikers 0

Tesho Akindele took advantage of a defensive miscue to help lift Atlanta to a 1-0 victory over Philadelphia Strikers in the APL is Back Tournament Round of 16 Saturday night.

Arsenal advanced to the quarterfinals to face the winner of the Round of 16 clash between the Washington Vanguard and Hawaii Ho'ohui Monday at 11pm ET on FS1

With Jhegson Mendez nipping at his heels, Rod Fanni took a heavy touch on an attempted back pass. Clement Drop was off his line and unable to field the pass, leading to Akindele's easy tap in.

Arsenal was the more dangerous teaming the scoreless first half, but five gilt-edged chances went awry.  The biggest talking point came late when Mendez was played in by Akindele to beat Diop.  But the goal was called back for offside. Romell Quioto nearly had the 80th minute equalizer but the Honduran's downward header was just wide of the post.

Minneapolis 10,000s 1 - AC Sol 0

A second half goal by Sergio Santos was the difference in a tight APL is Back Tournament Round of 16 match between Minneapolis and AC Sol.  

As a result, the 10,000s claimed a 1-0 victory Saturday night and advance to the quarterfinals on Thursday to meet the winner of Caesar Sportivo and Bayern Milwaukee.
