Atlas Search is a Game Changer!

Every four years, for the sake of blending in, I pretend to know soccer (football, for my non-American friends). I smile. I cheer. I pretend to understand what "offsides" means. But what do I know about soccer, anyway? My soccer knowledge is solely defined by my status as a former soccer mom with an addiction to Ted Lasso.
When the massive soccer tournaments are on, I’m overwhelmed by the exhilarated masses. Painted faces to match their colorful soccer jerseys. Jerseys with unfamiliar names from far away places. I recognize Messi and Ronaldo, but the others? Mkhitaryan, Szczęsny, Großkreutz? How can I look up their stats to feign familiarity when I have no idea how to spell their names?
Well, now there’s an app for that. And it’s built with Atlas Search: www.atlassearchsoccer.com. Check out the video tutorial:
