Could Clasico Tapatio provide turning point for Atlas?

The club got plenty of attention for its 100th birthday this week, but winning a rivalry match against Chivas could help Atlas make headlines for its on-field play as well.

Atlas was the prettiest girl at the ball this week.

The club celebrated its centennial Aug. 15, a 100th anniversary that has been vastly overlooked with Club America also commemorating its 100th birthday this year and a serious contender to become the third Mexican team to win a title in its 100th season in existence after Chivas and Pachuca did it. Atlas, frankly, is not, or at least it doesn't seem like one.
