I know we are very focused elsewhere right now but...2010/2011 schedule released yet? UP THE SPANIARDS!!
Re: Athletic Bilbao 2010-2011 Thread got that email too. There's a video of some of the players with the (blurred out) jersey. I'm excited for this season (as always). Lots of youth, but that can be a good thing. Who steps up at CB, LB, and LM are the big questions. Kinda disappointed we couldn't get Joseba Llorente, even though we have a bunch of forwards with our new signings.
Just saw the new uniforms. They look classy. Team is shaping up pretty well, assuming we retain Javi Martinez we should make another run at a European place. This will be the year of Muniain.
Seen a schedule yet? And where did you see the kit? The whole kit? Post a pic? Do you ever go here: www.athletic-club.net ?
I think Marca had some of the leaked schedule, and Yahoo sports spain have it too, but I don't know if it's 100% accurate http://es.eurosport.yahoo.com/futbol/bilbao/resultados/2010-2011/
I got no complaints about the home jersey, and I like the color of the goalie jersey. Let's make this a memorable centenary season!
Hey Leones, I hope I didn't offend anyone with this post. A buddy of mine has pointed out this might be offensive to some on here and me being a complete dolt on some underlying political issues may have, unknowingly, stepped on some toes. That was never my intent. If so, Please accept my humble apologies. Sincerely, IvanIV
The Basques and Catalans celebrated the World Cup victory with equal enthusiasm as anyone else in Spain. I don't think that should offend too many people, at lest on bigsoccer
Scheds been out for over a week now. And it is not a leaked schedule but LFP gives first 5 weeks out then they announce the remainder of the years schedule a several days later. Viva Er Beti Libre!
Yes, it would be a very thin-skinned person looking to be offended who would take offense to your comments, Ivan. Most of us have learned to retain our culturual identity within the Spanish nation and identify ourselves to some degree, as both. PS - agree on the collar, but Umbro's design is intentionally very traditional. Overall it has a similar look and feel to the England National Team jersey of this past World Cup.
since we all support the US and Athletic, I thought I'd introduce my "Athletic United (States)" starting XI In a 4-2-3-1, even though both teams play a 4-4-2 ---------------------Howard------------------------- Iraola----Onyewu---Amorebieta---Spector/Koikili ----------------Javi M.-------Bradley--------------- Susaeta/Holden----Donovan----Muniain/Dempsey ----------------------Llorente------------------------ We can do an all Basque one next
ya, If Caparros is brave enough to go with muniain on the left and susaeta on the right, I'll be even more excited. I hope Balenziaga, who's back with the club, is only the backup leftmid at best because Caparros has been playing him there in preseason even though he's a left-back
it looks like they are out of the old 2009/2010 home kit. they have the blue(+white) kit you mentioned but it is not discounted....
Hello from someone that is new at following Athletic Bilbao. I hope to continue my research to learn more about this club that I find very interesting.
