It seems the 2 clubs that I will be able to follow and actually see their matches on FSW are Boca and RP.

So which should I choose and why?

How many titles does each club have? Also what is the history and location of each club? BTW, I would read the websites, but my Spanish isn't that good.

Thanks a lot.

Well, argentinesoccer.com is an english sight. Not that good. But okay. There also http://www.afa.org.ar/

Boca is a fairly poor neighbourhood in Buenos Aires. River Plate plays in a richer of the same city. They used to be located in the same borough a long long time ago, but then River moved (I forget the reason).

River has won the title 31 times and Boca 20 times. The next most is Independiente at 14.

follow both, they usually play everyone that has intentions to make the top 5... the result= good games for the fan to enjoy.

tomorrow they will be (both) in FOX at nite, after copa Libertadores.

see you cat!

Boca Juniors y River Plate jugarán el segundo superclásico del verano, un duelo que les ofrece a los Xeneizes la chance de desquite y a los Millonarios una nueva oportunidad de festejar ante sus eternos rivales.


Con suplentes en ambos equipos y la "Copa Revancha" en juego, el partido se disputará en el estadio Malvinas Argentinas de Mendoza, desde las 22.10, con el arbitraje de Claudio Martín y televisación en directo por Fox Sports.


Leonardo Astrada decidió alinear un equipo parecido al que ganó el primer superclásico del año, 1-0 en Mar del Plata, con la novedad del debut del defensor Juan Fernández.


El que no estará es Daniel Montenegro, autor del golazo del triunfo en el estadio José María Minella, y la dupla atacante la formarán Maxi López y José Sand, goleador histórico de las divisiones juveniles del club de Núñez.


Esta vez Carlos Bianchi decidió dejar a sus titulares en Buenos Aires y afrontar el superclásico también con suplentes y juveniles, entre ellos Raúl Estévez, que junto a Franco Cángele formará una dupla atacante que buscará terminar con la sequía estival de los Xeneizes, que no pudieron marcar en sus últimos tres partidos.


Estas son las probables formaciones de los equipos y demás detalles del partido:


Estadio: Malvinas Argentinas.
Arbitro: Claudio Martín.
Hora: 22.10 (televisa Fox Sports).

River: Costanzo; Juan Fernández, Nasuti, Ricardo Rojas y Miranda; Gabriel Pereyra, Husain, Sambueza y Ludueña; Maxi López y Sand. DT: Leonardo Astrada.
Boca: Muñoz; Jerez, Barbosa, Perea y Calvo; Villarreal, Silvestre, Caneo y Marinelli; Raúl Estévez y Cángele. DT: Carlos Bianchi.

Well, you have a lot more clubs to choose from then those two. You make it seem like television coverage is the deciding factor to supporting a team. I've seen you post in a lot more forums about ths sort of topic. No need to support teams from all over, you can't fake passion.

I'm a history teacher, love to travel, and meet/chat with new friends. I'm also addicted to football. I find watching matches where you have a club to support in that league makes it a LOT more meaningful and FSW televises lots of leagues...SWEEEEET!

As far as faking passion, I became an Arsenal supporter last year and I have never been so obsessed about a sports team in my life until then....and I'm a huge sports fan to begin with!

They show 1 Argentine league match per week. IT's usually live on Sunday afternoons. But the channel also shows pratically every Copa Libertadores match!
