VS Wednesday June 27 21:50 (Hora Argentina) Stadium: Boca Juniors Ref: Enrique Osse (Chile) VAMOS BOCA POR LA COPA!!!
No surprise about the probable starters aside from Caruzzo. Orion, Roncaglia, Schiavi, Caruzzo, Clemente, Ledesma, Somoza, Erviti, Don Libertadores, Mouche and Silva. I can definitely see a very physical match won by set pieces. Two long days to go.
Yeah, it should be the same lineup that played in Chile. They better finish their chances against Corinthians, because there won't be as many.
So excited for this one.We looked a long way off getting back to this level a couple of years ago but the team has grown and grown. Corinthians are apparently a strong ,well-organised team so we will need to be at our best.Away goals don't count double but as ever I think the most important thing is to win the game. Vamos Boca!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad to hear somebody has his priorities straight... Juan Martin Del Potro asks to delay his Wimbledon match so he can watch Boca play Corinthians http://canchallena.lanacion.com.ar/...edira-atrasar-su-proximo-partido-en-wimbledon
Some quotes about the game, from the participants: "Boca tiene historia en la Copa, pero esta final hay que jugarla ahora, el pasado no cuenta. Enfrentamos a un equipo compacto y muy rápido. Lo seguimos durante todo el torneo" Julio FALCIONI "Corinthians es más compacto que Santos como equipo. Esperan y tratan de salir rápido cuando recuperan la pelota en el medio. Sabemos que no perdieron de visitantes con esa fórmula" Matías CARUZZO "Esta Copa se disfruta mucho más por cómo se dio todo y porque seguramente será la última en mi carrera" Rolando SCHIAVI "A la final llegaron los dos mejores. Ahora hay que nivelar lo emocional con el juego. Boca tiene una mística especial en la Bombonera" TITE (DT Corinthians) "Habrá que tener una atención especial con Riquelme, cuya calidad para dar pases es indiscutible. Corinthians marca muy fuerte, tiene un estilo parecido al de Boca. Serán dos grandes partidos" PAULINHO
Not sure, but I like it. Always thought the away goal was dumb. Ideally I'd also have one final game in a neutral ground too.
Can't wait for kick off, gonna have to pull another late one to watch it, hopefuly it will be well worth it.
Picture of Neymar posted on Instagram which caused some controversy in Brazil for obvious reasons. "¿vocé é um Xeneize?" they asked him. Pic taken from Ole.
Just corked a Bowmore/Hart Bros. 13 year old whisky. The anticipation got the better of me Vamos Boca carajo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful pre-game show ! If it was any other Brazilian team, I'd cheer for them, but since it's Corinthians, I hope you guys win. Good luck !
I think all Brazil is behind us. Not that they give a rat's ass about Boca, but they support us because they don't want Corinthians to stop being the butt of all their jokes.
Absolutely ... they must never win a Libertadores ! My Fox feed is 3-4 seconds off. The sound is way behind the video feed. You guys seeing the same thing ?
The feed is driving me nuts. It doesn't match up with the one radio feed I was able to get. I'll drink more to balance it out.
It's not you. I have the same problem. they better fix it, before somebody scores a goal and we get a late call.
