The Departure of an Idol: Ariel Ortega to Independiente de Rivadavia

2

It was bound to happen eventually: Diego Simeone could no longer stand Ariel Ortega's alcoholic problem and finally decided to seperate him from the team.

Editorial: The 2008 Clausura review

2

Having left a week aside for Gimnasia de Jujuy and (especially) Racing fans to recover from their celebrations upon surviving, it's time to look back on another campaign in Primera A. It's been a momentous one for a number of clubs. Racing's survival joy was doubled by news that Blanquiceleste were out, River ended a [. Click to continue reading...

Another European move, and Racing are on the Llop…

It's an appalling pun I know. But the manager himself is a good one, according to Héctor García Cuervo, the administrator who chucked Blanquiceleste out on their ears a few weeks ago. The manager who (eventually) saved Racing from relegation will continue in his post next year. Meanwhile, Lanús youngster Lautaro Acosta has joined Sevilla, and [. Click to continue reading...

River Plate: 2 - Olimpo: 1 - Torneo Clausura 2008

2

River Plate defeated Olimpo by 2-1 for the eighteenth round of the Torneo Clausura 2008. Due to a combination of both this and Estudiantes' goal-less draw with Colon, "los Millonarios" were able to lift their 33rd Argentine League trophy.

River played an overall good game. Diego Simeone's team was able to go up 1-0 in the first half, after Diego Buonanotte successfully scored a previously-prepared set-piece.

¡River Campeón!

1

It took a lot of digging deep in Sunday's match against a spirited and highly motivated Olimpo, but after four long years River Plate are finally able to call themselves champions of Argentina again. Thanks to a stellar performance from young gun Diego Buonanotte, Diego Simeone's side claimed the club's 33rd professional league title, beating the [. Click to continue reading...

A slim advantage

2

With two matches remaining of the 2008 Torneo Clausura, River Plate edged narrowly ahead of Estudiantes in the table, and with the opening of a two-point gap at the top of the table they can keep alive their dream of claiming a first trophy in four years, in Diego Simeone's first campaign in charge.

Superclásico highlights

This wasn't posted with the rest of the goal videos on Monday evening because I didn't want it to overshadow them, or vice versa, in people's attention. So, here is a nice long video for any Boca Juniors fans who want to re-live their side's 1-0 victory over River Plate in La Bombonera on Sunday [. Click to continue reading...

The wait is over

2

It's been four years since Boca Juniors last beat River Plate in La Bombonera, during which time their sole consolation has been that River haven't won any trophies and they have done. On Sunday, though, with River arriving in La Boca on top of the league table, the run came to an end thanks to [.. Click to continue reading...

Apologies for the lack of coverage of Saturday's matches - my phone line (and with it my broadband) crashed on Saturday morning and was only fixed on Sunday - but the first competitive superclásico of 2008 is now just a few hours away.

Mystery in Núñez. Ariel 'Burrito' ['Little donkey'] Ortega has virtually recovered from the injury he picked up a couple of weeks ago against Racing, and was due to be drafted into the squad to face Arsenal de Sarandí on Sunday. He'd demonstrated his readiness for the task in training on Wednesday - but on Thursday, [. Click to continue reading...

River Plate 2 - 1 Club América de México

4

River desperately needed a win on Wednesday night to get their Copa Libertadores campaign up and running, but played underwhelmingly and were only drawing with tough opponents, unable to make the breakthrough in the second half. And then up popped one of the club's icons to give all three points to the Millonarios. Click to continue reading...

River enjoy their reunion

River and San Lorenzo kept up their respective records at the start of the season regarding goals: San Lorenzo still haven't scored, and River still haven't conceded in the league.

The 2008 Torneo Clausura kicks off at long last following the summer break on Friday evening, with Lanús aiming to defend the title they won so improbably back in December, whilst the likes of Boca will be wanting to get back to winning ways.

Beach party

For the second year running, River Plate's fans can celebrate on the beaches of Mar del Plata after their side succesfully defended the Torneo de Verano trophy won last January.

Ischia gains popularity

Well, that's one way to do it. Carlos Ischia wasn't the Boca fans' choice of new manager, and his appointment caused some anger towards Pedro Pompilio when the latter first unveiled him, but on Saturday night, in the Estadio Mundialista of Mar del Plata, he took a huge step to winning over the fans: He [.

Getting serious

1

The first two-thirds of the fixture list for this weekend passed without too much to write home about, San Lorenzo picking up an easy win away to Central, Independiente brushing Olimpo aside with ease and only Argentinos Juniors' 4-0 tonking of Newell's raising any real eyebrows - and even then with the proviso that the [...] Click to continue reading...

Twice the good news

2

Alfio Basile can cheer up a bit. A good few weeks in advance of Argentina's opening World Cup qualifier against Chile, it's become apparent that Lionel Messi's injury which kept him out of Barcelona's 0-0 draw away to Osasuna on Sunday really isn't too bad - La Pulga is back training with the squad now.

Look who’s back… again.

After his second-half penalty salvaged a point for River Plate away to San Lorenzo in their first appearance of the 2007 Apertura, Ariel Ortega had team-mates and managers almost fighting amongst themselves to praise him.

River Plate at long, long last dignified the Primera A Apertura with their presence on Sunday afternoon.

Contrasting attitudes

5

Two rather different attitudes to problem players are being demonstrated today, on either side of the Atlantic. Villarreal, who have a playmaker many sides would be delighted to get their hands on, are trying to get rid of Juan Román Riquelme.
