Many thanks to all who have played, supported, and helped the Atlantic Isles over the last year.
See you next season!
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.

Congratulations to Paraguay, worthy winners of the Mundialito. It is odd that our best result came against the best team of the tournament.

Match report; Morocco 8 - 0 Atlantic Isles
A weakened Isles team came face to face with reality when playing a motivated Morocco team who needed a good win to qualify and perhaps win the group.
Starting with Luisan back in goal, Gavin, Tim, Dave D, and Txus along the back, Martin, Pedro, Peter, and Michael in the midfield, and Chema and Lucas up front, the team were soon under the cosh. Raking passes overpowered the full-backs, with the Isles playing too high a line and being caught out for pace.
On a day when all went right for Morocco, their luck was illustrated by one goal that hit a player who had his back to the ball and goal, another deflected in off the head of a player lying injured on the ground.
Substitute entries by Amalio, Antonio, Niall, and Darragh was not enough to step the flow, and worse followed when Darragh ended up in plaster following a nasty collision.
So ended another tournament, and Morocco will face Colombia in a repeat of last year's final in the next round.
Once again, we would like to thank the support that turned up again, including ex-players, injured current players, families, and varioushooligans friends from the English speaking community.
