I didn’t realise Pickford was that old

A team named Atlas should have global appeal. <Shrugs>

"It was dinosaurs versus boys Jeff"

Like bringing a human to a dinosaur fight.

I remember Ravel Morrison having a decent little spell there.

Wear Red and Black halves if I’m not mistaken.

A team named Atlas should have their future mapped out.

Did fans walk out last season on 69 minutes?

I can't believe this is real

I love footie lore from lesser-known leagues. I'm a life-long UNAM Pumas fan, even before Everton. I follow the LMX but not as closely as the PL. Good on Atlas!

Better believe it.

Just checked, on loan from Lazio. Started off well, maintained decent levels, and then for whatever reason didn’t get kept on.

Mexico has a rolling three-year performance table for relegation, and the bottom team usually goes down. For now relegation has been replaced with the bottom three teams paying hefty fines to fund the rebuilt second division.

Atlas was second from bottom at the end of last season’s performance table and had to pay up MX$70 million. It’s only about 2.5 million pounds, but it’s almost 10% of their club’s value.

(Also Atlas scraped through the first two rounds of the Apertura tournament. Both finished 1-1 on aggregate and they advanced because they were the higher seed. Honestly, an even worse tiebreaker than penalties.)

I looked it up too. Just a wild career. He played against the US for Jamaica last month.

Barney the Dinosaur’s return from his Metatarsal layoff will be like a new signing
