And We’re Back
By: Alan | October 8th, 2009
I apologize for the long hiatus and seeing as I’ve never really like to write about much other than the team, I will skip the details of the hiatus and hit the ground running.
With 11 weeks gone in the Apertura 2009 Atlas finds themselves in a pretty good spot. The team currently has 9th in the overall table with 11 points coming from: 4 wins, 5, losses, and 2 ties. This partial result is enough to put atlas in the Luigilla [as of now] as second place of group 1. Atlas is 11 points behind first place Toluca and 2 points ahead of Chivas.
So, not bad. Sure, at the beginning of the season I’d think there’d be more wins and more goals [only 9 so far] but at least they are still in a position to play in the liguilla. However, among the teams that would qualify for the liguilla Atlas has the fewest points, which means that the only real way they can make sure to enter the big dance is by staying second place of group 1.
However, being only two points ahead isn’t a huge safety net especially if Chivas starts winning. The week 16 game against Chivas could end up being very big for Atlas if they haven’t gained more ground by then.
