Preview

This has been a rough week for Boca Juniors, as previously stated on my last article "A week from Hell for Boca Juniors" .

The first competitive superclásico of 2010 is only five hours away, and even with both Boca Juniors and River Plate enduring turgid campaigns after years of underachievement, it's still the most talked-about fixture in Argentine football. Martín Palermo could become Boca's all-time highest goalscorer outright today, although whilst the Argentine press have now all decided [.

Recuerdo el año 2002. Mundial de Korea y Japón. Una selección española que, quizás como anticipo a esta era de disfrute, ilusionaba. Nueve goles en Mestalla un par de años antes a la selección de Austria (tuve la suerte de ir al partido). Nos encontramos con Francia en la Eurocopa de Bélgica y Holanda.

With only two games left in the season, Angel Cappa has a clear idea in mind of what he wants his squad to look like next season. He has asked the board for four reinforcements for next season, including one goalkeeper, a defender, a central midfielder and a center forward.
He has asked the board to also extend Ariel Ortega's contract, however he has put in doubt the continuity of Marcelo Gallardo and Matias Almeyda; The 36 year old and current captain of the squad is a fan favorite and one of the most regular players in the squad.

21.08.2010 - Calígula - Con goles de Rogelio Funes Mori (´8 y ´18) y Ferrari (´24), Ríver venció a Independiente (3-2) (Silvera ´17 y Carrizo e/c ´89) en el Monumental y comparte la punta del torneo con Vélez y con puntaje ideal.
Con tres goles en 24 minutos, Ríver construía una fiesta a la que le sobraron 45 minutos (terminó en angustia).

10 short facts to get informed on how Apertura 2010 is doing.
1. River Plate and Vélez Sarsfield are on top of the league

Only two teams have been able to win 9 out of the 9 points played: Vélez, with their good combined play and their experience as a team, and River, trying to impose Cappa's tiki-tiki as way of playing, the pressure of relegation on their shoulders, and not showing great performances but getting the job done.

12.09.2010 - Calígula - No sin sufrir y sin luchar, con gol de Rogelio Funes Mori (´74), Ríver venció a Arsenal (1-0) en el Monumental, llegó a la punta (con Vélez y Estudiantes) y salió del descenso directo.
En seis fechas, Funes Mori hizo cuatro goles (uno a Tigre y a Arsenal y dos a Independiente), la misma cantidad que marcó en todo el torneo pasado.
