maqroll Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Boca-River for the final. The last time they met in the tournament it was abandoned due to fan violence. This should be fun.. Edited November 2, 2018 by maqroll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The Boca - River derby is one I'd really love experience, especially at La Bombanera. But can honestly i would not dare to Not until the redevelopment is done anyway because it might crash down on any given day. But with that done it will likely lose some of what makes it such a magic place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I think its one of those derbies that has a reason for it and gives it extra spice, might be wrong here but boca are from the poor part of BA and river from the affluent? There is traditionally a class divide between the fans I like it when stuff like that kicks up the rivalry, the old firm another obvious one, think the big tasty cairo one is between nationalists and a british empire founded club, better than the same city dont like each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to try and see a game there when I was in Argentina, but thought better of it. Unfortunately just not safe round La Boca. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 My friends were at Bombanera and it looked crazy from videos I have seen, was just a regular league game too. They didnt actually see any of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Have watched a couple in recent times in the Argie league and they're generally of awful quality, think back to the standard of our early games v SHA in the premier league plus the fan violence and you're close to Boca-River!

sne Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Build up to the game going well... Quote HEATED DEBATE: BOCA JUNIORS FAN BURNS DOWN RIVER PLATE FAN’S HOUSE AFTER ARGUMENT OVER SUPERCLASICO MATCH GOES UP IN FLAMES When it comes to intense inter-club derby rivalries, a few may come close but it’s generally agreed that none come bitter-er on the face of this green Earth than those which exist between Boca Juniors and River Plate. The two Buenos Aires clubs are set to play each other twice in the two-legged Copa Libertadores Final this month, with the first game scheduled to take place at La Bombonera this coming Saturday. While an official decision is yet to be made, it’s thought that away fans will be banned from entering the respective stadiums (just as they have been across the country since 2013) in an attempt to increase security and reduce the ever-impending threat of violence. However, that didn’t stop a pre-match argument between two rival fans about the Superclasico from getting completely and utterly out of hand, as reported by freelance Argentinian football writer Peter Coates… Details are a little scarce, but we’re assuming/hoping that nobody was harmed in the fire. Pure distilled insanity, and frankly nothing less than we’d expect from the wacky, life-endangering world of Argentinian football. http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/south-america/279508/heated-debate-boca-juniors-fan-burns-down-river-plate-fans-house-after-argument-over-superclasico-match-goes-awry-photo.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Wonder if we are scouting this game, or at least have someone watching it on the telly? Not sure what position we are in when it comes to signing players from these clubs, no doubt we could offer salaries Boca and River would never do (Teves possibly excluded) Magallan CB, Olaza LB, Barrios CM, Nandez CM, Villa Cano RW/FW, Boca Armani GK, Montiel RB, Palacios CM, Pity Martinez (off to Atlanta) River Could all be worth watching, no doubt a lot of other clubs will.

villa4europe Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 theres been some high profile players from Boca who have failed to live up to expectation in recent years - cubas, maroni, meli, komar, calleri that said they have also had bentancur, paredes should be adding pavon here in the next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need play 75 percent competitive national team games Why we couldnt get Kalinic that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt City, Chelsea or Manure could sign players we would not be allowed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) the 75% of games thing is round one, on appeal you can argue exceptional talent that is better than anything else you could buy or argue that they will play 75% of the games in the next 2 years, utd, city, chelsea etc are far better at arguing than we are, probably claim that playing for such a high profile club will get them in the national team, there is maybe also a case that due to the nature of the position getting a young non EU goalkeeper is harder Edited November 8, 2018 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
