1
The end is nigh. The title won't be decided this weekend but Newell's, Vélez and Colón could drop out of the running if they lose. Things might look muddier by Saturday night: that's when San Lorenzo take on Lanús in the Nuevo Gasómetro - an away win would catapult last year's Apertura winners into the [.

The halfway point has arrived in the Torneo Apertura title race. There's a .35-pointer at the bottom of the Promedio to kick things off - if Racing beat Central in Avellaneda they could, depending on results elsewhere, move out of the relegation zone for the first time in living memory.

Here it is, ladies and gents: the final weekend of the Primera A Torneo Clausura 2008. River are already champions, but there's still the small matter of relegation to sort out, and to that end the weekend's most important match is the winner-takes-all game in Santa Fé, where Colón host Racing.

The endgame approaches in the Torneo Clausura. In the Promedio, Racing have to beat Gimnasia La Plata no matter what, and even that probably won't make much difference to their fate. Frontrunners Estudiantes host Independiente, whilst hot-on-their-heels River Plate are at home to Huracán. There's even a Monday match this week - in El Coloso [. Click to continue reading...

Oh, it's been a while. At long, long last the summer break is over, and I can get back to writing about league action rather than transfer news and summer friendlies. There's been a lot of talk about the new year's ticket price hikes - more on that at the weekend - but for now [...] Click to continue reading...
