Good times!
A 0-0 draw sees Atleti advance on away goals, right? Because I can't imagine either of those teams actually beating the other at this point

Potential Franchise Names? Go!
I'll Start:
Atlanta Airhorns. Let the air-horn become to Atlanta what the vuvuzela is to South Africa! (plus I love alliteration)

Is he in Finland or the US?
I'm unbelievably jealous. Please get a full report on the game and atmosphere.

Sweden, and yeah, I've asked about full details, with pics. Apparently part of the price is meeting some of the players, and VIP seating.

Who has a worst rep for pro sports, Atlanta or Miami? Nerve wracking that both are entering the league in the next 3 years.

Reminds me of that one contest where users submitted fake names for U.S. soccer clubs. The two best, IMO, were Lokomotiv Chattanooga and Boca Seniors.

In honor of the terminals at ATL? Not bad -- it's one of the first things I think of when I hear 'Atlanta'.
Along the same lines, I'll throw The Atlanta Shermans and Atlanta Humidities into the ring.

Liverpool and Chelsea home kit unveilings are always boring. How much can you really do with monochromatic uni's?

Dembakwi Yomba, US U17 and U18 international just signed a contract with Atletico Madrid. He is 17.
He was born in Sierra Leone but grew up in Georgia and is obviously a US citizen.

Sounds like something that should have been cleared with FIFA first since he is unable to sign a professional contract until age 18. This obviously violates their application of the rules.

Sadly I didn't get this pun even as I was thinking of my own Real puns. Real Humid. Real Far Between Neighborhoods. Etc.

Yeah it is confusing. But I don't know if this is a pro contract or something else.

Did he keep playing after that dislocation?
El Floppo
Footballguy
wow... he played through a dislocated shoulder?
I've only ever had a dislocated big toe- and it hurt like... the dickens (not to mention freaking me out when I first took the cleats off and saw that the toe nail was basically facing down). I have to assume the shoulder must be debilatatingly painful.
new-found respect for the kid.

yes. he lost a tackle or header (when Mexico scored their 2nd goal, IIRC) and went down in a heap. looked more embarrassed than anything else at the time... but he went to the sidelines for some treatment and came back out. Did pretty well after returning to the field.

btw- was watching the end of a Copa Libertadores game last night that had the other game from the group split or small-screened for much of the last 10 or 15 minutes.
First off, I love that competition- some great individual talents on some tactically dicey teams means lots of open ended play. The players, fans and games also tend to run... hot. Like
hot. The other game had a PK called late in the game... players from the offending team literally assaulted the referee who seemed to just stand there (looking like a deer in the headlights) and take it. I didn't even see a card issued, despite him getting shoved around like poor Iniesta against AM. On top of that, those players do more diving AND hacking than anywhere on the planet.
Worth a watch if you get the chance.

ATM v FCB - set DVR for AET / PK, OK?
Yes, but I'll be less so when either the appeal is upheld or the Madrids start getting banned for doing the same damn thing.
It cannot be a pro contract so it is an example of someone moving more than 50km to join an academy for football reasons.

Pretty bummed there's no chance to see this bit of skill again today :(

I'll be going into media blackout soon. Per uefa.com here are the lineups for today:
Bayern: Neuer, Dante, Boateng, Lahm©, Ribéry, Robben, Götze, Müller, Alaba, Kroos, Mandžukić
Man U: De Gea, Evra, Jones, Smalling, Vidić©, Carrick, Fletcher, Valencia, Kagawa, Rooney, Welbeck
With Bayern's last three matches being Draw, Draw, Loss, I'm pretty nervous. Hopefully those results will inspire Bayern to not only possess the ball, but actually put it in the net a few times as well.

That's a pretty pitiful attacking lineup for Atleti. No Costa, no Arda, no Diego (at least he's on the bench)

Hasn't Bayern been rotating their squad pretty heavily since they wrapped up the Bundesliga?
I would be surprised if Bayern didn't win by 2+ today.

True, both league matches were sub heavy. This helps with my nerves, but the draw with Manchester and their form the last few matches does not.
I know Bayern's run will end, maybe this year, but please not today in Munich against ManU.
