Boca Ready For Its 4th Recopa Crown!
By: Dave Martinez | August 26th, 2008
Here comes the second leg of La Recopa Sudamericana! Boca took the first leg in thrilling fashion against fellow Argie club, Arsenal de Sarandi - on the road no less! With a 3-1 aggregate advantage, Boca is well on its way to its fourth Recopa, and their 18th international title, which would tie them with Milans International record. Coincidentally, it will also push Argentina to its 6th Recopa title, surpassing Brazil and their 5.
Talk about extra incentive!
Whats different this time around? Well, a thinner line up, which will be relying on youngsters like Noir and/or Viatri to pick up the offensive slack (along with Palacio who looks like he wil be starting!) in the place of injured forward Martin Palermo. Thankfully, Riquelme is confirmed for the showdown, and will undoubtably give the youngins their fair share of through balls. Caranta and Datolo should also be seeing time. But judging from the recent defeat of Apertura Champions Lanus, the rest of the team would be able to withhold just fine against their Argie counterparts.
Arsenal would have to score three goals and hold Boca scoreless at the Bombanera to take the title. Yea, good luck.
This foregone conclusion will air on Fox Soccer Channel, Thursday at 7:30pm, on a tape delay. For those interested, I might do a running commentary of the match if I can find a live outlet (there is usually a bar or two in Queens New York playing live games).
