aunque a mi me llamo mas la atención las otras copas.
Boca Junior's Juan Roman Riquelme had been arguing with 21 year old Boca fan Augustin Pozzetti
earlier in this home game vs Racing, so after volleying a 60th minute winner the playmaker ran 55
yards to point an angry finger at Pozzetti. Unfortunately, Pozzetti's fellow Boca fans then turned
on the non-believer and a fight broke [.
LA GLORIOSA

argentino, su porra llamada la Gloriosa no dejo de alentar.
Por eso al ver esta imagen, lo primero que pensé fue en una fotografía pero resulta ser
un dibujo, muy artístico, de primer nivel.
Argentina youth coach Sergio Batista has named his twenty man squad for the 2009 South American
U-20 Championship, which kicks off on the 19th January in Venezuela. Batista's side go into the
tournament as one of the favourites, having been victorious in the same age category in five of the
last seven World Cups, and will rely on a squad of primarily home based players for the
competition.
River Plate coach in waiting Néstor Gorosito has confirmed that the club will be forced to
sell either Diego Buonanotte or Radamel Falcao Garcia in January in order to balance the books.
Gorosito will inherit a River side that finished bottom of the Apertura tournament when he takes
over at the turn of the year, and will face further problems with the news that he is likely to
lose at least one
La información la publica el Sunday Mirror, conocido diario británico. El tabloide
asegura que el Arsenal estaría sopesando la posibilidad de contratar a Carlos Tévez en el
mercado de invierno. El propio rotativo da cifras sobre la supuesta operación, que podría
rondar los 27 millones de euros.
I'm all for science and progress, but this is a bad idea. The Argentine top flight will begin a
trial of vanishing spray paint, in an attempt to prevent the wall from creeping forward during a
free kick. Aside from my personal dislike for this idea, the core of the idea is flawed. [...]

For those of us who are consumed by football every year brings new thrills and disappointments, a
million what ifs and if onlys and ultimately a feeling of elation, satisfaction or despair,
depending on where our unfailing loyalties lie. We laugh and cry, argue and debate, get
over-emotional and sometimes regret what we say but [.
You know how when you were a kid you used sit out in the backyard pretending to rise above the
defense for the winning header in the 93rd minute of a World Cup final? Or score that 35 yard
screamer with only minutes left in extra time of the Champions League final? Yeah, that doesn't

La revista Sports Illustrated publica hoy un artículo con 10 nombres de
jugadores argentinos que podrían sumarse a Guillermo Barros Schelotto,
Claudio "Piojo" López y Marcelo Gallardo en la
Major League Soccer.
Algunos de estos nombres son derechamente un sueño.
Napoli's Argentine wunderkind Ezequiel Lavezzi is a man in demand these days. The spark he brought
to newly promoted Napoli last year kept them in the upper half of the table and this year, along
with fellow countryman German Denis and a host of others, has Napoli up to fourth place in Serie
A.
"El Pocho" is often compared to Argentina legend (and current national coach) Diego
Maradona but he has a style all his own.
At the end of game one of this dramatic, title-deciding, three-way playoff for the 2008 Argentine
Apertura league championship any Tigre fans contemplating their team's title prospects could have
been easily forgiven for feeling decidedly pessimistic and glum. A 2-1 defeat to San Lorenzo in the
first game of the triangular meant that any hopes of ending a 106 year wait for league glory were

Internacional de Porto Alegre se proclamó campeón de la Copa Sudamericana por primera vez
en su historia. Necesitaba defender el 0-1 conquistado en La Plata en el partido de ida, cosa que
no pudo hacer durante el tiempo reglamentario, ya que el gol de Agustín Alayes, en el minuto
20 del segundo tiempo, consiguió el [.
San Lorenzo are locked in talks over an extension to their loan deal for striker Gonzalo Bergessio,
as they look to build a team capable of challenging for the 2009 Copa Libertadores. Bergessio, 24,
has scored 13 goals in 35 games since joining on a temporary basis from Portuguese side Benfica,
and San Lorenzo coach Miguel Angel Russo is keen to keep hold of him, especially with fellow
strikers
Internacional secured their first ever Copa Sudamericana triumph on Wednesday as an extra time
strike from Nilmar gave them a 2-1 aggregate victory over Estudiantes of Argentina. Estudiantes
travelled to Porto Alegre a goal down from the first leg, and showed plenty of attacking intent
from the off as they looked to find a way back into the tie.
Toda la prensa argentina coincide en dicha operación. Según los medios argentinos, Sergio
Agüero estaría en el punto de mira barcelonista de cara a la próxima temporada.
Además, aseguran que ya hay un principio de acuerdo, ya que el club catalán estaría
dispuesto a abonar los 55 millones de euros que se establecen en su [.

Newly-promoted Corinthians' continued search for recognised name signings has led them to
Estudiantes and two-time Italian league winner Juan Sebastian Veron, whom they are keen to bring on
board for the 2009 Brazilian Championship. Veron, 33, is out of contract in June of next year and
his agent Miguel Pires has told the Brazilian press that he is set to meet with Corinthians

Argentina coach Diego Maradona has confirmed that Juan Roman Riquelme and Juan Sebastian Veron are
both in his plans in the lead-up to the 2010 World Cup, as he feels it is vital to have an
experienced playmaker in the side. Riquelme, 30, and Veron, 33, were both absent from Maradona's
first squad as coach due to club commitments, but having watched a number of games involving the
pair in recent
A journalist in Argentina came up with a vanishing spray to help referees keep the wall back during
free kicks. Now that's some cool stuff. Read about it here, thanks to The Telegraph in UK.
Boca Juniors ended San Lorenzo's hopes of winning the 2008 Apertura with a 3-1 victory on Saturday
that leaves Carlos Ischia's side in pole position for the title ahead of the final playoff game
between them and Tigre on Tuesday. San Lorenzo went into the match knowing that a win would secure
them the championship, and had two golden opportunities to take the lead in the first 45 minutes -
Boca Juniors 0-1 Tigre - Boca champions on goal difference. As the referee sounded the final
whistle in Avellaneda and brought a close to this most dramatic of finales, the trivial
consequences of Tigre's 1-0 win became clear in the most soul-destroying, crushing of all
circumstances for those associated with El Matador.

Es muy triste, pero es la realidad. En Argentina, como en muchos otros sitios donde ocurre en menor
medida, el fútbol y la violencia van de la mano. No basta con alentar como en ninguna otra
parte del mundo se hace, ni con hacer del deporte rey un estilo de vida, la cosa va mucho [...]

Dos jornadas restan para el final del Torneo Apertura en Argentina. Boca, líder con 35 puntos,
San Lorenzo y Tigre con 33, y Lanús con 31 se jugarán el título en las dos
últimas fechas. Los punteros, claro está, dependen de sí mismos, pero tendrán
que visitar este fin de semana una cancha que nunca [.
So after getting a little feedback last week the predictions have been revamped. You asked for a
recap of how my predictions went. Here it is. You asked for the return of Bonus Predictions... here
they are (below). You didn't ask me to change things around and extend the predictions beyond the
Premier League.
The Argentine Football Association is set to use an 'aerosol spray' to mark a temporary 10-yard
line away from free kicks to prevent defenders from encroaching upon the free kick taker. What
would really make this interesting is if they used sleeping gas (in very minute quantities) in the
white mist, so that any player who [.

The 2008 Argentina Apertura has ended with San Lorenzo, Boca Juniors and Tigres tied at the top of
the table. All three teams were hoping to take the title on the final day, but all three won and
finished on 39 points. The league doesn't use goal difference to separate teams, so playoffs it is.
