Really good player who probably would have achieved a lot more if he hadn't suffered numerous serious injuries.

He also curtailed his career for his family. He moved back to Argentina when he was 27 so his first born could grow up in the country.
Fair play to him. Did he do well for Boca?He also curtailed his career for his family. He moved back to Argentina when he was 27 so his first born could grow up in the country.

Colombia and Chile the big surprises re a poor start - Ecuador and Paraguay doing well. Early days though.
I remember watching a documentary about Argentine football and how this River team was revered. They were battering teams when the Argentine league was one of the best in the world. I have to say the River Plate & Boca Juniors football strips are absolute classics(I'm a day late):
On the 17th November 1946 Juan Carlos Munoz, Jose Manuel Moreno, Adolfo Pedernera, Angel Labruna and Felix Loustau played together for the last time. They were known as La Maquina and are considered to be the front 5 of the best ever domestic Argentinean team.
Love hearing the player's frustration when they miss or the goalie saves.
is the Boca game tonight off?
