Alcibiades Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yeah, Courtois will play. Apparently UEFA threatened to discipline Chelsea if they try to hold Athletico to the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Cool just yesterday I had read that Atleticos president said he wouldn't be able to play against Chelsea so glad to hear Uefa seemed to have overruled that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It's a funny thing. Will this season feel like it wasn't a success for Bayern if they fail to win the Champions League? They've functionally won the Bundesliga for so long that not winning the CL will mean the season ends on a downer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iskaral Pust Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Gaaaah! I can't wait for Sunday. I've been on edge all week and it's getting worse.But, despite all the anticipation, I don't plan to wake at 5:30am to watch it live. So I'll wake up, check the result because I can't possibly resist it, and then watch the game anyway either in a euphoric glow or in a sullen sulk.

SerFelixCulpa Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yeah damn shame I'll have to be up at dawn to watch Sundays game but up at dawn I shall be :( I've put together a group of people to have a very early "brunch" for the game. I don't drink champagne at 7:37ish in the morning often, but when I do...it's usually because of a marquee EPL game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baxus Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Bilbao carry the English 'Athletic' form because they were part-founded by Englishmen. I've heard that there's some connection to Charlton, but I dunno how true that is.When applied to Altetico Madrid it's just a mistake, however.I know that Athletic Bilbao was founded by/under the influence of Englishmen.That's why their name is AtHletic, not Atletico.

Jon AS Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Still, the club is now named Atletico de Madrid, isn't it? Yeah, it changed names a few times. And obviously under Franco, even Barca had to change to a Castilian name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercenaryChef Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Rooney out the rest of the season. This could be the best thing to ever happen for chicharito. Let him start some games before he hands in his summer transfer request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 They'll probably just switch to playing Mata or Kagawa as a 10 behind Welbeck, they've looked better when they've played like that this year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
