Boca 2-0 Banfield
It didn’t take a lei made of llama shit, an exact double or a change in the basic laws of football. It didn’t even take a great deal more effort on the training ground. All it took was Nico Gaitan receiving a fly-kick to the face Jackie Chan would have been proud of. Read the rest of this entry »

Boca 1-2 Independiente
Last time out, I wrote on Alfio Basile and his good fortune in retaining his position in the face of Boca’s spectacularly dismal Apertura campaign. What I neglected to mention, in hindsight, was whether or not Coco actually wants to stay on as manager of an outfit which is seemingly hell bent on reaching new depths of mediocrity each time it takes to the football pitch.

By: Brett | 2 Comments
He’s a few months short of his 22nd birthday. He wears the number 28 shirt and his idol is Juan Roman Riquelme. He’s the son of laburantes (a term loosely used to describe labourers…and thieves) parents and his childhood was spent selling plants on trains with his brothers. And playing football.

Boca 0-0 Colon de Santa Fe
The faithful made their way to La Bombonera ready to party. The songs were louder, the atmosphere more hostile and the landscape a sea of yellow and blue banners, umbrellas and balloons. It was, afterall, a day for celebration. One of the clubs greatest ever servants had just turned 36; another star, 29. Read the rest of this entry »

Rosario Central 2-1 Boca
It’s a tried and true footballing cliche – you’ve got to take your chances. You’ve got to put the ball in the back of the net more times than your opponent. If you can’t do that, then you’re probably not going to win. If ever there was a clear example of this depressing footballing truth, it was Boca’s match against Rosario Central on Sunday evening.
