refs are always on bosta's side... it's like there's a rule only in referee's rulebooks that says that NO penalty will ever be called against bosta jrs, it's been happening in the league and copa libertadores
and seems that they're going against River, we've had a lot of penalties invented against us and none in our favour...
the penalty given to San Lorenzo tonight was a bit shady, two SL players were tugging River player's shirts
but it's ok, we've got the away goal so I'm still optimist about the return, now onto bosta... oh and the classic will be overseen by a ref who has been said to be a bosta sympathizer :rolleyes:

I'm not into ref ranting, but this Boca vs. Cruzeiro game was ridiculous. The first half was a circus, the ref would call fouls on Boca players every single time they were touched just to amuse the crowd, and the fouls on Cruzeiro's players were never called. There was also a clear handball in Boca's box not called in the end of the first half, and the second Boca goal was offside.

Having said that, Boca deserved the win, but it's still a good result for Cruzeiro. I won't miss going to Mineirão in the second leg for anything in this world.

At least there was that foul in the second half on Obi Wan Palacio that the ref didn't call, that would be a yellow card, wich would result in a red.

My family is from Minas so it's always fun to watch Cruzeiro play.

I missed the Fluminense game. Pity. I'm really enjoying watching their games recently.

I watched the highlights of the River Plate game on tv, Falcao celebrated like crazy after he scored. Very nice.

I just spent 8 hours and 40 minutes in line to get a ticket for the Cruzeiro vs. Boca match. Got to the stadium, at the other side of town (and it's a pretty big town), at 10 am. Got home at 18:40. We better win this!

Wow, that's a lot of time in a line, I complain about the 40 min I spend in the bank one. :D
I'll be rooting for Cruzeiro too, but at home.

dodgy penalty in the first leg, perfectly legal Abreu goal disallowed in the second.

Add to that, it was D'Alessandro the fucking traitor that was their best player on the night.

don't forget the 3 penalties SL players committed against Abreu which weren't called on
it should have ended at least 4 - 2 for River
and silver should have been sent off for aggression against Tuzzio before their first goal

he's on loan at San Lorenzo, only this semester... he still has a contract with Real Zaragoza until 2011 and he has all the intentions to go back to Spain and have a good time there, and then he would love to play again at River

How can a shitty team like America beat Flamengo on MARACANÃ with 3 goals difference (exactly what they needed)? That's what I ask.

Flamengo was utter crap in that game, that's why. And everybody that was watching the game with me was laughing. There a lot of people that hate them, but they still are the team with most fans.

I really hope Boca don't win this year. I'm hoping that São Paulo or Fluminense does.

Very nice game today in Libertadores. Morumbi (São Paulo's stadium) will be packed, something like 70.000 people. São Paulo x Fluminense, the two best defences in the competition and both have some talents to keep an eye on, like Hernanes from São Paulo and Thiago Silva and Thiago Neves from Fluminense.

Yeah viva la Liga! (jeje, it has almost the same name as my team in here, which is Liga Deportiva Alajuelense). And then I'll also cheer for Sao Paulo (nice colours)

Well.. Liga is not really my team. It's supposed to be Barcelona but I don't really follow ecuadorian football because it's bad.. but Liga have impressed me lately.

You mean in the Copa Libertadores? 'Cause they are already out. They were beaten by Fluminense on wednesday (3-2 on aggregate).

Great match yesterday: Boca Jr. 2x2 Fluminense. Now the second leg is gonna be next wednesday in Rio (Maracanã).

flu5.jpg

From Boca, I'll just post pictures of Riquelme. :tongue:

flu2.jpg

I hate his team (and his NT :D ) but can't deny what an amazing player he is.
He scored both Boca's goals yesterday, one from a FK.
That's Thiago Neves with him in the pic.

flu7.jpg

Thiago Neves scored one too.

flu4.jpg

:star: Thiago Silva. :star:

flu1.jpg

He's a really great CB imo.

flu9.jpg

He scored from a header yesterday. :cool:

the FK goal wouldn't have went in if the barrier did not deflect the shot.

i watched the game from that moment and it was a good match. I don't know why i even bother with European football, if it wasn't for Milan, i would quit watching it and would be fine with Libertadores rather than CL :rolleyes:

São Paulo is a amazing team with a amazing history but unfortunally we fall down in Libertadores this year. Keep supporting us next year! Hope we can win Brasileirão.
