The 2011/12 Apertura has begun in Argentina, and for the first time in its history, River Plate
will not be present. After a historic relegation just a few months ago, the Buenos Aires club will
compete this season in the unflattering second division. And while deep down, the Boca Juniors

rivals, they are surely not making it known.

Boca Juniors had a disappointing debut in this Apertura Championship, being held to a scoreless
draw by Olimpo last weekend. Julio Falcioni is already under pressure, especially with a possible
presidential election looming, and would love a victory over Union on Monday (8:15 p.
Mathias Kniepeiss/Getty Images(Bleacher Report)What comes to mind you think of the term home-field
advantage? To some clubs it is just a saying and a hopeful truth, while to others it is a true
existence as their stadium and their fans have a profound effect on the opposition.
To say that football is a game that brings out the full passion of its fans in an understatement in
many different categories.
Argentinos Juniors and the "Hand of Dan". Argentina has been well documented at EFW as a
footballing utopia. From the great football clubs of Boca Juniors and River Plate, their stadiums

The news just keeps getting worse for River Plate, which lost 2-0 to Belgrano on Wednesday night
in the first leg of their relegation playoff and might be forced to play the second leg in an empty
stadium after its fans stormed the pitch in Cordoba.
Wednesday saw two key clashes in the relegation struggle in Argentina's Primera División. First,
in La Bombonera, Huracán and Gimnasia La Plata faced off in a one-match, winner-takes-all (or
rather, loser-gets-nothing) tie-breaker to decide who was relegated and who gets ... Continue

At the grand old age of 37 (though we'd swear that he's been 37 for at least the last five
years) and after scoring a million goals in a thousand appearances over two spells at the club,
Boca Juniors' veteran striker Martin Palermo played his last ever game at La Bombonera at the
weekend.

blooper que le abriera el partido a Boca en la Bombonera,
Carrizo hizo posible el empate (1-1) de San Lorenzo en el Monumental. Ríver, que sólo con una
victoria salía de

It took only three minutes midway through the first half for Boca Juniors to take control of the
latest Superclasico, as the home side came away with a 2-0 victory Sunday in La Bombonera. River
Plate goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo was expected to be a key figure in this showdown between the
two eternal nemeses, and Carrizo played his part in a negative way in the final result.
Sunday's biggest match in Argentina saw Martín Palermo a goal from a brilliant header in his final
superclásico, and Boca Juniors win 2-0 aided by an uncharacteristic error from River Plate
goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo in La Bombonera. Sunday's most ... Continue reading →

One of the top matches in all the world this weekend won't be played in England, Spain, Germany
or anywhere else in Europe. It'll be happening in Argentina.
Boca Juniors and River Plate renew their Superclasico rivalry Sunday afternoon (3 p.m.), and

Para mi hay (o había) tres estadios en México que eran un absoluto infierno para los equipos
visitantes, El corona, el camp nou (estadio león) y la bombonera de Toluca, tres
estadios donde la visita llegaba con las esperanzas de llevarse un puntito y el sueño guajiro de
