Pineal Soccer keeps on going deep into memories.

After Manchester United and Olympique Marseille, today is the turn of another European big team.

 

It was the year of Euro League Tecmo World Cup ’90, an amazing arcade videogame able to keep our noses stuck on the screen.

Eight teams. Besides the Italian ones, I used to ignore their name and country. Who cared?

And, the icing on the cake, Napoli present in the game thank to the scudetti conquered by Maradona.

Betraying my Inter? What the heck, that’s a game! Let’s choose another team once in a while.

Here’s my complex decisional mechanism in my brain. It took me 3 seconds:

• “Uhm, red and blue… Not bad, but too mainstream.”
• “PSV? What’s that V? Naah, I don’t want to have anything to do with Eastern Europe”
• “And those ones? All in white, what a triviality. And only two letters…”
• “AC Milan?? Like hell.”
• “And those ones all in red? Absolutely not.”

 

That’s what led me to choose the Colchoneros before every match.

An amazing jersey for Atletico Madrid: dark red shirt with grey gradient and red-orange details, gray-red shorts.

Viva los años ’90!
