What a surprise, Palermo misses a penalty

 

Nice Unis worn by Boca Juniors yesterday, It gave them a bit of a throw back look to them and the socks were pretty nice as well. Anyways even better was their efficiency to score unlike the Gremio forwards who were NOWHERE to be found during both games.

BTW i hear that as soon as next year we could be looking at the Libertadores Final the same way its played in Europe with the Champions league. A neutral field will be determined before the start of the competition and instead of a 2 leg game it will become just a one Final game to get the champion.

Do you guys like this idea ? Or do you still like the current format ?

I personally like the current format, I like how the team with the better points gets a reward and gets to play under their home crowd during the decisive game. I also dont see many south american fans traveling long distances to go support their team during a final. Financially it just wouldnt work out in my opinion PLUS you take away that special moment for teams to be able to celebrate a title under their home crowd.

 

Moral of the story.

Smoking is bad for you.
