Tonight's Superclassico (game time 8:00pm EST) is part of the Torneo Verano. Though technically a preseason tournament, like any other derby (think Milan-Inter, Real-Barca, etc.) the fans and players play for real. Watch for these players on the call-up list for the albiceleste: -------------------------------------------------- G Wilfredo Caballero - Boca Juniors D Nicolás Burdisso - Boca Juniors D Ariel Garcé - River Plate D Clemente Rodríguez - Boca Juniors M Sebastián Battaglia - Boca Juniors M Andrés D´Alessandro - River Plate M Luis González - River Plate ----------------------------------------------------
they didn't even make pass the 1st round... Hope D´Alessandro didn't get hurt today...Can't wait to see the D´Alessandro and Donovan matchup.
I only watched the first half and I don't remember hearing any of those field players' names. Perhaps the GK was there? Where are they having camp at here in the U.S.?
They are in Ezeiza, a district in the BA province. I would say a few hundred miles from Mendoza, but I think Bielsa wants all the players focussed on the national team, rather than running off every few days for a preseason club game. I was going to start a thread on the same thing a week or so ago, but then realized that those players would not be appearing in these matches.
