The season has started… .
It’s been a pretty dramatic start to the season, that’s for sure. A couple of weeks ago, we kicked-off facing Cargolux in a Cup knock-out game. Last year they won the 3rd division, so there was a good amount of […]
Pre-Season 2017/2018: Warming up… (FC Luxair 2-5 FC Euroatlas)
“The Blues” are back again! The pre-season 2017-2018 started and the players returned from a well-deserved holidays period. Like it happens every year, it’s a complicated period for the coach (Nuno), as the FC Euroatlas players are very well referenced […]
End of Season 2016/2017: We were almost there…
The last season was a very positive one for “The Blues”. The fans, a bit sceptic at the beginning due to the 6th place achieved on the previous season (2015/2016), started to become more and more enthusiastic along the year, […]
It’s that time of year.
It’s that time of year when the sound of cleats on the dressing-room tiles rings in your ears; when you feel the tightness of those shorts and wonder why they keep ordering them so small; when you smell the wet […]

“Winds of Change”
FC Euroatlas – Amicale Européenne: 3-0
Fans or not of the Scorpions, FC Euroatlas supporters left the Merl stadium with the clear feeling that the “not so good period” the blues are currently facing is over. With a good performance FC Euroatlas won the derby against the Amicale Européenne and qualified for the ¼ finals of the coup. The opponent is already known and will be Amicale Post.
The blues started very well and scored within the first 5 minutes, with a good shot from Johnny from outside the area, making the game easier in a certain way. Since that moment the game was completely under control. Amicale Européenne was not able to attack and create changes, as all their attempts were blocked by FC Euroatlas midfield and defence. We must say that, during this match, it was clearly visible a good understanding between these two sector team, constantly circulating the ball without trying to pass it immediately to the strikers. This way, the blues were forcing the opponent to run after the ball while waiting for the right moment to put the ball in Nuno’s or Artur’s area of action. This good combination of movements allowed some nice (and non-expected) incursions of Eugénio (normally the last Euroatlas man in the defence) in the midfield, creating a sudden superiority on the attack. In one of those moments Eugénio managed to dribble a couple of opponents and with a good pass left Artur alone with only the keeper to beat, but unfortunately the shot went wide… The half-time came and 1-0 was the result.
The second half started and, knowing that 1-0 was a dangerous result, FC Euroatlas continued to push their opponent searching for the second goal that would give some serenity. I didn’t take much time… Artur with a good header, corresponding to a corner taken by Juan, made the second. By this time, Iulian was trying not to fall asleep and keep his hands and feet warm somehow… But he finally had a change to “participate in the game”, as Amicale Européenne got a free kick. A strong shot but it went straight to Iulian safe hands, that didn’t allow a rebound… The third goal came naturally, with Juan again on the play. After several consecutive attacks and corners the ball reaches Juan, who crosses once again into the area. No one was able to finalise with a header, but the ball hits the second post and goes in.
Let’s hope this wind continues to blow a bit longer and the blues manage to reach the same performance in the league!

It is a “blues” period!
And this is also a bit about our last matches:
… some comments?!
Nuno (coach): “Unfortunately we did only a draw 3-3 (Eugénio, Johnny and Jussi).
Some mistakes, not an easy pitch… we can always try to find excuses for the bad results, but what we will have to do is really to find ways and motivation to WIN!!
Of course I do believe, because I am sure about what I see, that we have a good team, it’s just… the blues are having a bad time(s).
In my opinion, we did a great effort and deserved to win !”

Juan M. (Secretary and supporter): “We can be disappointed for the result but the attitude was positive. We played well most of the time, with intensity and solidarity.
In one week we have the “revenge” against Amicale EU. If we don’t want to play the ridiculous “consolation cup” , we need to win this match !!”
