como fueron a perder con el sabalero!?!?!?!

[ElMuneco]

Absolutely ridiculous that Fox Sports en Espanol would show the baseball playoffs rather than River vs. Almagro. Who the hell enjoys watching baseball on TV? Hell I'd rather watch the grass in my front yard grow than sit and watch a boring basebal game. Let me see now, "Strike one, Ball, Ball, Foul ball, Foul ball, Foul ball, Ball, Foul Ball, Foul Ball, Pop up". One out. Reeeeeeeeeeeal exciting Fox. Idiots!!



Maybe Fox Sports knew in advance that River were going to suck so bad yesterday and that's why they decided to show the baseball playoffs. Good lord, I still feel sick to my stomach after yesterdays loss. What an absolute embarassment. I listened to it on the Internet, then watched later on Fox Sports(English). I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched little Almagro score not one, but two goals againt us. This is a loss we need to put behind us, and concentrate on Lanus. Maybe with this loss, the directors will realize that selling Ameli to Club America was a mistake. Looks like he could've helped out yesterday in defense as the defense looked like crap.

[Jacobo]

River Plate 1 - 2 San Lorenzo

Three defeats in a row. River couldn't even score their own goal, as José Ramirez was kind enough to deflect the ball into his own net off a cross by Lucho. River has failed to score for themselves in all three losses.

Terrible officiating by Héctor Baldassi, missing a solid elbow into Patiño's face by Barrientos and calling a penalty kick on a take down by Salas outside the box. Costanzo made an outstanding save off the rebound on the penalty.

se despegaron los lideres! :(

[Ilovecolombia redded]

if patinos playing bad hes been being used badly he was considered the most complete player in the copa america !!

hes a midfielder a defensive recuperating half mark midfielder he recuperates the ball and creates a play sometimes brilliantily as he did score 15 goals last season. hes also a very good free kicker

[Jacobo]

thas why hes number 7.....and not sand.

[Argentina Girl]

I haven't seen Pablo Aimar's younger brother Andres in any line-ups. Isn't he good enough to be a starter or is he injured?
