Atlantic Isles football club is a friendly club for playing football badly and then discussing just how badly over a drink afterwards. Atlantikoko Uharteak futbol talde bat izan, nazio-anitzeko, futbola jolasten gaizki club eleanitza da eta gero besterik eztabaidatzeko nola gaizki baino gehiago edan ondoren. Islas del Atlántico club de fútbol es un club amistoso para jugar al fútbol mal y luego discutir lo mal y tomar una copa después.

Order of games in the Mudialito 2010
OK, so we play Paraguay first, then Cameroon, then Morocco. Our scouts tell us that Paraguay are a well organied physical team. That will be hard first up.

Squad Profile: Dave W
In other, less gifted tournaments the hot-shot footballers compete for the golden boot. For the Atlantic Isles, Dave W won the equivalent; the plastic stiletto. Dave won this for his scintillating finish during the tournament, skilfully putting the ball in the net with his classy touch and positioning. Only problem was, it was in the wrong goal.
All we need to know now is who will seize the prize for best marksman in the 2010 tournament.

Atlantic Isles 4 - 3 Brazil
A hattrick from Lucas and a goal from Txema sealed an impressive victory from the Atlantic Isles today in Munabe. In brilliant sunshine a good team effort meant that the attacking flair of the Brazilians was negated for much of the game.
Site update
I have put on a role of honour on the page with photos of all who have played for AIFC. I am missing only Rory I think. Even Edmund is there!!!

No easy groups
It is strange. I attended the draw for the Leioa world cup (mundialito) tonight and was on tenterhooks the entire time. We were "con ganas" during the draw, and of course ended up in the group of death.
Thing is, I do not care. To play 11 a side football in a competitive environment is for me the dogs bollocks. I do not care if we are hammered. We are playing proper football with a referee in front of a crowd (up to 3000 people if last year is anything to go by!).
Bring it on. I cannot wait.

Squad Profile: Jon the goalie
Regular goalkeeper Jon does not engage in warm-up activities, he follows the old fashioned English approach of lighting up instead. Famed for picking the ball out of the net with dog-end between lips, he will be sorely missed from this year's tournament being ruled out by the technical problem of having only one serviceable leg.
