Malaga vs. Atlético: The Return!

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

This is it. Aside from the transfer market, summer is pretty much over. It’s time to hop off the USMNT bandwagon, time to buy your team’s 2009/10 kits, sign your kids up for daycare again, and if you’re like me, time to hit the books once again and get into scuffles with roommates for throwing [...]

Chelsea, Porto, and APOEL

By: Al | Comments 3 Comments

It’s not really a group of death per se, but I still wish that we had an easier group, in other words, I would have liked Rangers in the group somewhere.
As I watched the group stage draw, I kept on hoping that we wouldn’t draw the group with Manchester United or Chelsea, and we [...]

Panathinaikos 2, Atlético 3: We’re Back (Almost)

By: Al | Comments 13 Comments

Hello Champions League, nice to see you again. Oh no, not yet? Fine, be that way. See you for good next week.
It’s still not over but we’re grasping that ticket into the group stages. Three away goals and being a goal ahead in aggregate is such an advantage that it’s not even funny. Panathinaikos will [...]

Panathinaikos Tomorrow!

By: Al | Comments 5 Comments

The exclamation mark is necessary because it means that we are playing our first important match of the season!
La Liga maybe commence a little less than two weeks from now, but I believe that the season starts tomorrow, and in the worst possible fashion: in a critical game that could decide whether or not we’ll [...]

Video: Aguero’s Stunner Against Russia

By: Al | Comments No Comments

I’ve seen better goals from him, but that doesn’t take away from the awesomeness of this one! Who said that he’s only dangerous inside the box? He’s learning well from Forlan.

Liverpool 1 – Atlético 2: A Friendly, But…

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

It’s still a victory over Liverpool! Might not be amidst an important competition like the Champions League (which we deserved to win when we played at Anfield last November, just saying) but it’s something, right? We saw plenty of potential and this win could do wonders to Atletico’s mentality when they face Panathinaikos soon.
The attack [...]

We Got Panathinaikos

By: Al | Comments 1 Comment

It could have been much worse, and Celtic instead drew Arsenal and Anderlect drew Lyon, but Panathinaikos is no slouch of a team. Like I mentioned before, just have a look at their amazing performances last season in the Champions League.
If anybody saw any of their home games last season, you could see that [...]

Lyon, Arsenal, Stuttgart, Panathinaikos, and Sporting CP

By: Al | Comments 4 Comments

…our possible opponents for the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League.
Which one of these teams should we be afraid of? All of them? Some of them? They are all 3rd-4th place teams just like us…
Let’s go down the list:

Damn Yoouuu, Arshavin

By: Al | Comments 4 Comments

Yeah, yeah. You all probably saw Arshavin’s crazy “how did he score that?” goal. We will be the butt of the “jeez poor other team” comments for the next few days but whatever. We played freaking Arsenal, and Wenger didn’t field a team of 15 year olds either like I thought he would. Once again, [...]
