You should take a gander at the names in South America. There's a few Racing's, one Boston (Uruguay), a Freaking Barcelona...

I love very much that in Uruguay, within the city of Montevideo alone there is a Racing Club, Liverpool, and River Plate.

An American club being named "Dynamo" anything is hilarious, all the same.

Yikes, pretty bad start to the season for Atleti. 5 out of 12 points. Club struggling to create any chances. Griezmann has gone missing post World Cup...

In fairness, South America also gave us the greatest team name in the world, Boliva's leading club The Strongest.

Even if they lose they are still The Strongest.

You misspelled FC Santa Claus.

Sad, but not surprising.

Another problem with Italian football. Those mid to lower table clubs are usually pretty bad and get steamrolled by the bigger clubs usually.

This is related to Serie A:

The Champions League group stage starts today. I'll be watching Barça vs. PSV and Monaco vs. Atleti, but will keep an eye on Inter vs. Spurs and Red Star vs. Napoli.

Watched Barça vs. PSV and Atleti vs. Monaco...

Another magical Leo performance. He made that free kick goal look easy. That assist from Rakitić to complete Messi's hat trick was Iniesta esque. And let's not forget to mention that goal from Dembélé -- he spinned on Chucky Lozano and then curled it from outside the box. Umtiti was good on the defensive end before he got sent off for the red card from second yellow card for stopping Chucky Lozano's counter attack.

PSV looked OK in the first half and at the start of the second half, but they just feel apart midway through the second half.

Atleti looked flimsly for most of the game, but still managed to win. Griezmann's assist to Diego Costa was quite great and his performance in the game was good overall.

Cristiano gets sent off, but Juve still manage to beat Valencia at the Mestalla with 2 Pjanić converting 2 PK's, Madrid crush Roma 3-0 at the Bernabéu, Bayern beat Benfica as expected, Mou's boys beat a club from Switzerland and Pep's half billion euros squad lose to Lyon.
