AN ATLÉTICO MINEIRO FAN'S VIEW...

Why I support Atletico Mineiro?

I'm from Gothenburg in Sweden and my team Örgryte IS(Öis). We have two players, Afonso Alves and Paulinho Guara from Atletico Mineiro for a few years now, Valter Tomaz Jr from Peqeuinos do Jocky have been in Öis five years, before they come to Öis I didn't have any favorite team in Brazil, but I have always liked the Brazil national team, all the way from World Cup 1958 up to now. Pele was 17 years old and had his first breakthrough in the Brazil Team against Sweden in the final which I never will forget, the Swedish spectators enjoyed the game and I don't think anybody was sad of the great lost in the final(5-2), because we where the winners of the Silvermedal! Juventus is my second favorite team in Europe and they have similar dress as Atletico Mineiro and both teams play more technical soccer which is preferable from my point of view as a supporter of Örgryte IS. Today it's possible for us to watch Champeonato Brasileiro every Sunday in the Swedish TV4+.P.S.Sweden received Bronze medal in the 1952 WC in Brazil...
