The title race gathers pace. At the top, joint leaders Banfield visit Independiente, who will move
to within three points with a win. Fellow pace-setters Newell's Old Boys are at home in the
clásico rosarino, perhaps the country's most passionate. Third- and fourth-placed sides both play
tonight: Colón are away to Lanús, prior to which [.

Nuevamente una genialidad de Cristián Álvarez permitió al Arse salvar un partido que parecía
perdido, para el que no encontraba respuestas. Aunque hubo complicidad de Abbondanzieri, el Pelado
aprovechó su pegada magistral poniendo el balón en el ángulo, con un lanzamiento perfecto. Click to continue reading...
Over the course of the 2009 Torneo Apertura, the mantra of fútbol para todos has transmogrified
into something meaning that one easily embeddable, easily findable goal video for the whole round
has become increasingly hard to find. The closest I can find are the four videos embedded here,
which viewed in order will give you [.

The fourteenth round of the Torneo Apertura ended on Monday. Relegation strugglers Racing claiming
a hard-fought win over the champions of South America, Estudiantes de La Plata, thanks to a goal
from a former Estudiantes player. Estudiantes' city rivals Gimnasia tore Huracán to shreds,
running out 4-1 winners in a match which saw two superb [.

In probably the most unexpected development of the domestic league's fourteenth round, River Plate
played with spirit and intelligence to overturn a deficit and actually win a football match on
Sunday afternoon. 1-0 down after only two-and-a-half minutes at home to Atlético Tucumán, it
looked like the same old story for River.

Tradición de NoviembreComo es la costumbre en los fixtures de las últimas temporadas, la fecha 14 del Apertura se juega
en Sarandí ante Boca Juniors. Pero a diferencia de los campeonatos anteriores, hoy ninguno de los
equipos se juega cosas importantes pensando en el corto plazo (de acá a fin de año).

Due to the AFA's complete inability to comprehend that some of us are running blogs about their
league in our spare time from a time zone three hours ahead and rather enjoyed having not much to
do on a Monday evening, Monday afternoon and evening matches begin in earnest this week. Rodrigo

The thirteenth round of the 2009 Torneo Apertura ended on Monday night with a late, late goal from
Arsenal de Sarandí midfielder Diego Galván which clinched a point for El Arse after they'd
trailed for practically the entire second half to Huracán. Angel Cappa's team were thus denied a
third win of the campaign.

The twelfth round of the Torneo Apertura 2009 got underway on Saturday, and I'm afraid to say,

Volver a sumar de visitanteSólo en el partido ante Tigre Arsenal ha conseguido salir airoso desde una cancha ajena en lo que
va de campeonato. Por eso la tarea dentro de un rato será mostrar otra actitud, buscar los 3
puntos ante San Lorenzo que, a pesar de venir con una derrota en el bolsillo en la fecha anterior,
es un equipo muy jodido en el Nuevo Gasómetro.

Ahora o nuncaEl plantel dirigido por
Jorge Burruchaga sabe que no puede depender de otros resultados en
la lucha por zafar de la promoción. Hasta el momento la mala campaña de Godoy Cruz y de los
recién ascendidos ha permitido sacar una ventaja respetable en el promedio, pero ha llegado la
hora de demostrar que el Arse tiene méritos para evitarse problemas a final de temporada, eso se
logra ganando estos partidos que parecen no ser tan importantes, sin embargo nunca se sabe que
depara el futuro y es mejor asegurar ahora una ubicación de tranquilidad, preocupados solamente de
nuestra realidad, en vez de caer en desesperación para el próximo Clausura.

One fixture will dominate the weekend in Argentina in terms of the international attention, but
although it probably pushes Liverpool vs Manchester United into second place on the list of Really
Big Rivalries in the football world this weekend, River Plate vs Boca Juniors won't mean anything
at either end of the table this time.
