An important anniversary today in Argentine football ... 79 years since the iconic La Bombonera opened.

Did you hear the lad Lee Colvin on H&H? A fair chunk of he interview focussed on his trip to see Boca v River and he said the physical shape of La Bombonera really contributed to the atmosphere.
I haven't yet, mate. It's an odd stadium given the box stand but the rest of the stadium generates a great noise.
Game on at the moment. Boca lead 1-0 vs. Juniors in the 2nd leg of the Copa Superliga. Tonight's winners play Tigre in the Final next Sunday.
He was really impressed with the atmosphere certainly.
Job done tonight I see. Nine yellows and two reds in less than a hour though? Seems like it was eventful.
Job done is very much the recent story. 1 goal in the last 4 Copa Superliga games (QF two legs were 0-0 and through on penalties; 0-0 in the SF first leg before tonight).
Boca also won the recent SuperCopa Final on penalties after a 0-0.
It's not been pretty to watch. Effective, though - and in light of recent River success, no one's really caring.
