SSN reporting river plate are on the brink of relegation! Can't get the league up on my phone to see what onthe brink actually looks like but that would e crazy, I knew the boca/river dominance had ended but I didn't know river had slipped that far

relegation play-off vs Belgrano in next few weeks.

They have complicated relegation system were you get relegated for average points for the last 3 years and lowest goes down which tells you they have been struggling for a good while

Although it sounds completely **** mental, I quite like that idea.

I wonder outside of the clubs who actually went down, who would be in the relegation dogfight over here next season?

I'd need one of Levi's graphs or charts to confirm this suspicion, but I think the average European country is equal in geographical size to the average US state....which makes "derby" matches in the US impotent. Too much distance, and just not enough history or hatred.

Ask and ye shall receive...

EU member states vs. US states (plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico; US states ranked on land area only, not sure what the basis for the EU list is) consolidated ranking:

1. Alaska (1.481m km^2)

30. Georgia (US) (150k)

31. Michigan (147k) [The_Rev's equating of the UK to Michigan is only when the 100k km^2 of water in Michigan is taken into account]

Obviously, this enables clubs to write a season off as a rebuilding year if they're big enough...

The averaging system was introduced in 1983, and River Plate were among the first beneficiaries: they finished 18th of 19 and would have been relegated under the previous system.

Argentina remind me of when someone plays Fifa and they have a favourite player that they always pass to even if he's in a position that's not as good as others or seems pointless. It's quite funny, you'll see Messi make a run, defenders go with him, space open up for someone else but they just give it to Messi :lol:
