MOBA Proud

In what seemed to have the potential to be one of the most competitive games of the year, MOBA put an end to those expectations as they dominated the Revs at home and made it clear that they have the potential to be one of the top teams in the Premier Development League this season. After winning 3-0 on the road in the first leg of the series, Peachtree City were looking for the Revs to attack both early and often, however that did not prove to be the case. Playing their first game in their new stadium, MOBA definitely wanted to give their fans a show, but they knew they could not let that take them away from what they were there to do: play football. Right from the opening kickoff, Peachtree City made it clear that Saturday's win was not a fluke. They were the better team, and that carried over to Fayette County. MOBA pressed early, winning the ball just seconds after the start. The home side peppered the goal with shot after shot, and saw their efforts pay off early. A mid...

Few things in sports are more exciting than a rematch. Two teams that had battled it out not to long ago go after each other again in a battle to secure dominance. Cavaliers-Warriors, Alabama-Clemson, the soon to be Falcons-Patriots; everybody loves an exciting rematch, and following Saturday's friendly in Hampton, the stage now shifts to Peachtree City for the second match between Peachtree City MOBA and Georgia Revolution FC. Saturday saw MOBA head into Hampton, Georgia and pull off quite the upset. After falling in last year's matchup in heartbreaking fashion, MOBA looked to even up the series at one apiece. The game started off in surprising fashion, as MOBA took control early and never let up. A beautifully placed free kick from Santiago Moore saw the away team take a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute. The pressure continued, and Peachtree City put their foot down in the 43rd minute, as Santiago Moore found the back of the net for the second time after goalkeeper Bryce ...

The pre-season in any sport, including soccer, is used to test the waters of your players, and see how they handle live game scenarios. The coaches are watching for the best performers, and the players are looking to give their best performances in order to make the game day eighteen. Teams are given a number of weeks to warm up and work together as a unit, but the real showing is in the live action friendlies before the season begins. MOBA's pre-season schedule features three matches, two against Georgia Revolution FC and one against Pumas. April 29th marked the first of those three, as Peachtree City travelled to Hampton, Georgia for their first friendly against the Revs. Last season's matchup saw these two teams compete for the full ninety minutes before a late winner was scored and sealed the victory for the Revs 2-1. Following the team's move to a new park, MOBA looked to get even with their crosstown rivals as they prepared f...

With the founding of Atlanta United FC in Major League Soccer and Peachtree City MOBA and South Georgia Tormenta FC in the Premier Development League, the state of Georgia is truly becoming the soccer hub of the south. Soccer is capturing the hearts of millions within the southeast, from Mississippi to Virginia, and it is drawing in some incredible talent. With the wealth of teams in the area, almost any footballer from all around the globe can find a team and a city to call home in the south. On Tuesday, MOBA announced they had scheduled two friendlies against one of those teams. Georgia Revolution FC, out of McDonough, Georgia, is already a familiar opponent for MOBA, and a budding in-state rival. Founded in 2010, the Revs have seen moderate success, qualifying for the NPSL playoffs in 2015 and the U.S. Open Cup in 2012 and 2013. Prior to the 2016 campaign, the two teams met up for the first time in McDonough, in a game that holds a special place in Georgia socce...
