I, personally, would love to eliminate them ourselves, but considering we can only face them in the final and we know Flu would choke before getting there, I wouldn't mind seeing them go out next round. You guys knock out Flu and we'll knock out Santos (unless Cucuta destroys them in Colombia).
So to recap. -If it happens in Argentina the match is suspended. -If it happens in Brazil the match continues. -If it happens anywhere else(ie: Chile a couple of years ago) the supporter's team loses the series. Anyway, Estudiantes exits the cup, while LDUQ's goal complicated the things they couldn't help themselves, they spent a lot of time in front of the box and didn't know what to do to break LDUQ's defense, at least one my candidates made it through. Lanús as expected blew it at home, but they weren't that bad in Mexico. Either their rival being Boca or Cruzeiro, i don't see Atlas advancing to the semi-final. Well 3 down 3 more left. Last week some journalist who i won't name(Gustavo Lopez) said it would be a lot better if Estudiantes, Boca, River and San Lorenzo ditched the cup and dedicated to the league since they are at the top, a lot for the league that is, some agreed and some said it was a stupid idea. As no matter what there will be at least one argentine side in the quarter finals, watch out if in the semi-finals there isn't any single argentine side and that guy and his gang will start to talk about a "crisis".
YEAH!! that'smy Liga!! they over came the cheating Argentines, the crowd and the refs to qualify against all odds!! GO LIGA!! GO ECUADOR!!
What exactly happened in Chile and which was the team that lost the series because of the actions of their fans? Was it an international tournament? I am trying to refresh my memory, but I cannot recall the incident you are referring to.
We all know he's a scUmbag. Every time he manages to actually show even less class, it's unbelievable
I just read that he said "tomatelas" when that Ecuatorian player came over politely to greet him. Terrible sportsmanship. I can't see Batistuta or Sorin doing something this ugly. What a piece of trash.
Night of Noise and Fireworks at Boca's hotel: http://www.clarin.com/diario/2008/05/07/um/m-01666533.htm I guess it comes with the territory. Shit you have to deal with if you want to win Libertadores. I just feel sorry for the poor people who were staying at the hotel trying to get a decent sleep, and who have nothing to do with Boca or with Copa Libertadores. This is cool:
Indeed; the same has occurred during night stays of visiting soccer delegations for Brazil who had games in Buenos Aires.
Happened to Cobreloa in the second round of the 2002 Copa Libertadores against Olimpia. Fan threw an object at the refs head and the game was suspended. The game was 1-1, but Conmebol decided to award Olimpia the victory with a final score of 2-0 and close the stadium in Calama.
The player Veron snubbed is Bieler who is from a relatively small town background in Argentina. It was probably an honor for him to play against Veron who comes from a footballing family since his father was a legend.
Then by your logic if Bieler's father had been a member of the 1978 World Cup Argentine NT and a big-name player in a Buenos Aires club and later in Europe, then Veron should've been more polite? And Bieler thus didn't deserve a modicum of common decency from a fellow footballer who happened to be a paisano as well?
Veron has always been a douche. And he's gotten into arguments with Argentines in the past. I remember when he got into an argument with Sorin once in an Inter-Villarreal match. It's nothing new.
another nice day. too bad if Boca and another Argentinian team makes the semis we would have to play them instead of a brasil team :d
You misunderstand me, that's not my point. I felt bad that Bieler got snubbed by Veron. It was probably an honor for him to trade shirts with Veron, but it ended up not working out.
An argument? A fight more like it, Veron was pissed because he thought Sorin was the main reason for his earily retirement from la seleccion. I still remember that game, Roman was runnning circles around Veron
