Luis Fabiano’s Kick to Our Mental Groin

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

Atlético Madrid 0 – Sevilla 1
Sevilla deserved to win. Before this match we were flying high like a bird, and the Sevilla Slingshot of Doomâ„¢ just shot us down for the time being.
Both teams were shutting down each other’s attacks pretty well. Agüero and Sinama were marked well and of course, couldn’t score. Sevilla’s Capel [...]

If You Want Peace… Prepare for War

Atlético Madrid vs. Sevilla
.
Football war is all the rage right now as this weekend is stacked with derby action (Merseyside, Barcelona, Milan derbies). Sunday’s match against los palanganas isn’t quite a “derby” but the intensity and hate will be there.
Last season, we defeated Sevilla both home and away. The away match was a match of [...]

A little boy in Madrid writes:
Dear Abu Dhabi United Group,
While checking my daily Google News feed of “sergio aguero” and “atletico madrid” I ran into a bunch of articles about your interest in our star striker and how you want to purchase him to play for Manchester City.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Now, no disrespect to you or Manchester [...]

Sinama: Butt-saving Frenchman on Duty

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

Getafe 1 – Atlético Madrid 2
29′ Sinama-Pongolle
75′ Albin
82′ Sinama-Pongolle

We won, but we ended up paying the price losing Maniche in the 13th minute because of a knock to the hip, and now he won’t be fit for the match against Sevilla on Sunday. Simao is also out from twisting his knee and will be out [...]

“Wait, there’s a match on Wednesday?”

By: Al | Comments No Comments

Jornada 4: Getafe vs. Atlético Madrid
Wednesday is the first Madrid derby of the season when we visit Getafe CF.
We currently sit in 5th place with 6 points from three matches, only being held back by that annoying loss to Valladolid.
Another loss will throw off our groove and we’ll be digging ourselves a La Liga [...]

Will Maradona Try to Lure Agüero Into Joining Inter?

By: Al | Comments 4 Comments

As Inter Milan make progress to find more talent to form Inter Argentina CF, they are considering signing legend/cocaine fiend Diego Maradona as a talent scout in South America. Sources claim he wants to work with the goofy-haired Inter owner Massimo Moratti and will encourage prospective signings to choose Inter.

Atlético Madrid 4 – Recreativo Huelva 0

Kun Agüero scores again. Is that even surprising?
Seriously though, how deadly is this guy? Three goals in five days. About ten minutes after his goal, he received a long cross from the right corner and chipped the ball over the keeper with a header and scored, but the goal [...]

Jornada 3: Atlético vs. Recreativo Huelva

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

Does anyone actually want La Liga to start again? I kinda do, but to be honest I’m already looking forward to the next Champions League matchday when we host Marseille. Maybe because I loved the PSV match so much, and it was cool being able to watch the match on demand on ESPN360.com (good idea [...]

You’ve all seen the goals. You’ve all witnessed a taste of Atlético’s potential. What else is there to say?
Here’s the 3rd goal (the first two kindly provided in the hyperlink above).

Also, is coach Aguirre offering el Kun a drink afterwards? (Look closely after one of the goals). Well, he deserves one after such a [...]
