ATLANTA — As Georgia keeps finding ways to insert itself into the British sporting summer, it's only appropriate that some big clubs from across the pond are here to put on a show in Atlanta this week.
Newcastle United - bringing back an Atlanta favorite, Miguel Almiron - and Chelsea will tangle in one match Wednesday, while Brighton and Brentford will also square off in the exhibition matches ("friendlies," as our English friends would call them).
