2008 Copa Sudamericana final: Internacional do Porto Alegre 2 - 1 Estudiantes de La Plata (agg.)

2
Estudiantes de La Plata went into the second leg of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana final trailing 1-0 on aggregate, thanks to a Nilmar goal in the first leg in La Plata last Wednesday. On Wednesday night, though, they kept hosts Internacional out in Porto Alegre and, with a second half goal from Agustín Alayes, got [. Click to continue reading...

Brasileiro set for gripping climax

0
São Paulo failed to clinch the Brazilian league title after they were held 1-1 at home to Fluminense.

2008 Copa Sudamericana final first leg: Estudiantes 0 - 1 Internacional

1
Estudiantes tried and tried in La Plata but couldn't get past their opponents' back line - or rather their goalkeeper - and will have to overcome a 1-0 deficit in Porto Alegre next Wednesday. Alex scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot for an Internacional side who were reduced to ten men [. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana 2008: Boca & River out - the goals

1
River Plate followed Boca Juniors out of the Copa Sudamericana last night to emphatically deny CONMEBOL the all-singing, all-dancing, superclásico semi-final they always seem to wish for in this competition. Leading 2-0 at half time and playing well, Diego Simeone's team fell to pieces after the break and their Mexican opponents Chivas came back to [. Click to continue reading...

Not so scary anymore?

0
There was a popular belief surrounding South American football until last year. It said that Brazilian club sides taking part in the Copas weren't afraid of anyone at all, until they came up against Boca Juniors. When they met the boys from the Riachuelo, though, they'd lie down for fear of angering their foes and [. Click to continue reading...

Copa Sudamericana 2008: Argentinos and Estudiantes through

1
Argentinos Juniors and Estudiantes de La Plata both completed aggregate victories over Brazilian opponents on Wednesday night to win though to the semi-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana. They'll play each other in one semi-final. The other might be a double-headed superclásico, depending on Thursday's results, but more likely it'll be an all-Brazilian semi.

Thrilling Derby Weekend In Brazil Masks National Team Failures

Dunga may not have many friends in Brazil right now given his struggle to win the public's affection as national team coach, but last weekend he could at least look back and reflect on the Campeonato Brasileiro's fixture list as an ally of sorts.

The quarter-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana began on Tuesday night as Estudiantes hosted Brazilian side Botafogo, and after going in at half-time a man down after Agustín Alayes was sent off, it was the hosts who'll take an advantage to Rio on the 5th November.

Basile out: why, how, and who next?

As Alfio Basile was resigning as Argentina manager last night, I was preparing to email an article to Soccernet about the pressure he was under.

Flamengo and the Boo Boys - Should Fans Boo Their Own Team?

0
So it appears Ashley Cole was booed by a section of England fans in the recent 5-1 win over Kazakhstan. Big deal. Generally speaking I am not a fan of the boo boys, whose impatience is rarely if ever helpful for the team. Unless it is in circumstances that really warrant it I am of the opinion that, as a supporter of whatever club, fans should try to support and encourage the team at all times, Click to continue reading...
