You're right. Didn't think the standard of football in the first leg was very good at all.

Posted this article prior to the first leg, but it is well worth a read if you haven't done so already. Looks at Argentinean society through the prism of River and Boca:

It won't be. Boca stating that if Perez is not fit they won't play the match.

Is 553 on Virgin HD? I can of course be told to %^*& off and check it myself if nobody wishes to assist.

Don't have Virgin mate so can't help you. Just re-posted that from a thread I was reading elsewhere (HotUKDeals to be precise). I've no idea if it's even accurate.

Apparently Boca are 'the Dhims of Buenos Aires' - so I will be rooting for River plate.

FFS, they were saying last night that he would be starting last night, after returning from the hospital (miraculously able to play).
There comes a point when you move from what is the hysteria surrounding it, to what is merely political point scoring and trying to gain any possible advantage.
This game just needs to go ahead now.

Boca officially request to CONMEBOL that the game is suspended.

Boca will claim their inevitable loss is down to the injuries to their players.
You might need to get the boots on.

Living up to their 'Dhims of Buenos Aires' reputation then I see.
I shouldn’t let this annoy me but it’s bollocks. Not sure why people have to try to insert a Glasgow context to every situation.

It's a joke mate, hence the smiley. Take a chill pill.
They should actually withhold the trophy now and hammer River Plate. Shouldn't award the cup to Boca because if they didn't win it on the pitch it's not worth winning.
haha this is brilliant

Do you think the game will go ahead DR? I'm thinking of piling on river plate.

I think it will, simply because of money, but this is just a guess as anything is possible.

Boca now want the game 'suspended' under article 18, to be given the win as the conditions are not being played under equal terms because of yesterdays incidents and for sanctions to be given to River Plate.

Utter shit- baggery from Boca Juniors, obviously it's wrong their bus was attacked but if they really want to get the trophy in this manner then they are out and out cowards.

Argentinean teams tend to lose their best players to Europe . So takes a bit away from the quality of the league..
Thought both teams gave 100% with a few meaty challenges going in.. quite enjoyed the first leg..
Was asked before What's the biggest derby in the world..
Said it was the one that meant the most to you personally.. so will always be Rangers v them for me..
But Boca v River was some experience!!

I think there's little chance of awarding the game to Boca. Do they, for example, postpone for a week to allow players to recover? At least that satisfies one of the complaints.
Great isn’t it!!This is insane!
Is he?
They should just tell the two teams to forget it and abandon this year's competition.
Complete and utter joke.
