Yo paro en una banda............

I don't like seasons when River play their biggest rivals away.

Could someone post a link to a site with the standings? I checked AFA's site.. couldn't find it, checked River's site and couldn't find it, I need help.

Even though we threw away a two goal lead today, at least we came back to score again and win. Let's see now, we were the visitors to. Unlike another club today that did the same. Except they were at home and are allegedly known for having a lot of "heart". Hmmmmmmmmm..........losing a two goal lead at home in a span of 10 minutes and not able to come back to win. What kind of heart is that? Hehehehehehe :)

Mascherano isn't in the line-up, is he still injured?

Mascherano had a red card from the last game against Huracan de Tres Arroyos, he'll probably be back next match

[The Double]

Great. I put Futbol De Primera on a reminder timer, and I still didn't get back home in time to watch it.

It seems FSE will not be repeating it, but the one-hour English-language version will be on Fox Soccer Channel Thursday night at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT.

I don't understand why FSC showed Boca's game last week and this week they're showing another Boca game. I really want to see River in action WTF?

hahahaha I also want to see River play but what can we do? When River plays outside of buenos aires fsw wont show their game,for an example last week River played Colon in Sante Fe so they were the late game where only TYC has the rights to show them.As for this week they are going to show the boce game for the reason that they arer playing another big team,San Lorenzo de Alamgro.Hope San Lorenzo wins.

Right. The only game I recall FSWE showing River outside of Buenos Aires was the game against Olimpo. And we all remember what happened.

This is awesome;

www.riverpr.com I'm Puerto Rican, and when I grew up in P.R. we played a lot of baseball and basket ball. It wasn't until we moved to Germany that I got hooked on futbol. I am so happy that River is helping futbol grow in my Island. I hope someday we can see some Puerto Ricans playing for River!
