A familiar face is a top the leader board of the Apertura. Boca Juniors has risen from the ash heap to first place with 24 points. Los Xeneizes struggled mightily the past few seasons but now the guys have righted the ship and it looks like Boca will win their 24th domestic title.
Los Xeneizes defeated Tigre 1-0 last Sunday.
Boca hasn’t lost so far in the Apertura.
Los Xeneizes has seven wins and three draws.
Atletico. Rafaela is in second place with 19 points.
El Leon was sent packing from the top tier in Argentinos futebol in 2007.
El Leon and Central Norte fixed the match. Both sides needed a one all tie and that’s what they agreed on.
A video surfaced to expose the fix and thus Atletico Rafaela was sent down.
Racing is in third place with 18 points.
Colon de Santa Fe is fourth with 17 points.
There are nine matches left in the Apertura.
Anything can happen but it sure looks like Boca will win the whole shooting match.
Ruben Ramirez is the top goal scorer with six. He plays for Godoy Cruz.
Atletico Rafaela’s Dario Gandin has scored five goals.
Los Millionaires was sent packing earlier this year to D-2 ball. River Plate won 33 domestic titles.
This was a kick in groin for Los Millionaires. River Plate has been a top-flight cub for 110 years until July 8, 2011.
Belgrano sent Los Millionaires packing.
Los Piratas is sitting in seventh place with 16 points.
Stranger days are these.
The guys are fighting to get back to D-1 ball.
River Plate is top dog in Nacional B with 16 points.

On Saturday River Plate and Ferro Carril Oeste tied nil-nil.

It is really weird not seeing River Plate in the Apertura. River Plate was sent packing earlier this due do to the fact Los Millionaires really stunk the joint out the past three years.
Newcomer A. Rafaela is top dog in the Apertura with nine points.
Boca Juniors is in second place with eight points.
Third place belongs to Racing with eights points.
In fourth place sits Lanus.
Los Xeneizes has a plus five while La Gloriosa Academia has plus four and El Granate has a plus two.
Last weekend A. Rafaela defeated Olimpo 3-1.
Boca and San Lorenzo tied one all.
Racing and Arsenal de Sarandi kissed their sister nil-nil.
Getting back to River Plate. Los Millionaires has 33 division one Argentinos crowns now they will have to claw their way back to the top division.
This is the first time the mighty River Plate has been sent packing.
Los Millionaires lost 3-1 on aggregate to Club Atletico-Belgrano in a two-legged playoff.
Belgrano is in 16th place with three points.
Los Piratas have three draws and one loss so far on the young season.
River Plate is currently in the top spot in Nacional D-2 with seven points.
Los Millionaires have three wins and zero losses.
River Plate is a plus five.
Seven goals for and two against.
Let’s hope Los Millionaires make it back to the big boys.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

It is a glorious two weeks until the EPL season begins. I can’t wait. Now my Saturday’s will be full of futebol.
Where we live in the middle of bum fuck Egypt the cable system and Internet suck big time.
No Globo TV.
The guys are putting the finishing touches on the pre season to get ready for the real deal.
Manchester United marched through the MLS like Sherman marched through Georgia.
None of the matches were close.
Man U destroyed the MLS All Stars 4-0.
This sucker was a total whitewash.
On Saturday night Man U and Barcelona have a rematch of the Champions League finals.
This puppy will be played in Landover, Maryland.
I wouldn’t expect to see the top guys like Messi, Rooney and the rest playing that much if at all.
My guys from Arsenal tied the Argentina club Boca Juniors.
The Gunners led 2-0 and low and behold Arsenal let Los Xeneizes score two goals in four minutes to escape with the tie.
Is this Déjà vu all over again?
Let’s hope not.
I don’t know if I can take another season like 2010-11.
Cesc Fabregas sat this baby out.
Wenger had this to say about the match- all quotes are taken from www.arsenal.com
The second half let down-
You never want to concede goals, but overall I do not give too much importance to that. What is important for us it to find a collective rhythm. When we could we managed to play at a good pace for 60 minutes, after it was much more difficult. It was expected, we came back from a training camp in Germany with heavy work and I knew that the second half would be much more difficult.
Boca Juniors are a good team and we got caught counter-attacking when were 2-0 up and we tried to build up the game, but when you are tired you miss some passes and were a bit more under threat.
What lessons did the guys learn- That we can score goals and Gervinho is a good addition to our squad. He is very interesting because he gives us options on both sides and through the middle. He can integrate well with our team. Also we have some improvements to make in some areas, especially the way we win the ball back. On set pieces we were not convincing today, but overall it was quite positive.
On Gervinho-
We can be extremely dangerous on the counter-attack with the players we have, we have Walcott who was not involved today, we have Gervinho and with the midfield we have I believe we can be very quick in the transition to go forwards, so that is always something very interesting. He can add that.
What about the future of Nasri and Fabregas-
don’t know. I play the players who are available and Nasri is available so I play him. Yesterday, I made a check up of all our situations and, I must tell you, nothing has moved since yesterday. Not one way, nor another way.
If Fabregas is committed to this Club and wants to stay, no money will get him out of here. We are not in a position where we need to sell our players. We want to keep our players. We are not looking after money. We want the players to stay here, from our side that is clear.
What about Nickolas Bendtner and Emmanuel Eboue- They are both on the verge of a move but nothing has been concluded with anybody. I don’t have any club in mind for Nicklas Bendtner because we are far from having done anything with anybody. I cannot give you any club because we have given him the permission to move.
Wenger added this getting nothing for Nasri and him staying- It’s not ideal for us on the financial side but, on the sporting side, he is an important player. We have to deal with the situation one way or another. In the next ten days we have to be clear on that front.
If you ask me if I want to keep him, I say yes. But he needs to be committed to that as well. I don’t give them ten days, the transfer period is until August 31. Ideally, we go into big games in two weeks, in the next two weeks we have to sort out problems out. There is no specific deadline of one day or 24 hours. It’s not like you shoot a shuttle into space. Sometimes it’s very quick on that front and sometimes it’s very slow.
Lots of question to still be answered by my Gunners. So we will see how this sucker plays out.
I don’t want another heart break season but this what one expects when you are a Gunner for life.
Just like my Philadelphia Stinko Eagles.
Gunners and Eagles find a way to screw up a wet dream.

Santos won the Copa Libertadores. Peixe defeated archrival and hated foe Penarol 2-1 at Santo’s house in Sao Paulo.
This was Peixe’s first title since 1962.
Pele played for the club at the time.
Jeez folks that’s many moons ago.
Santos made to the finals in 2003 but Peixe lost to Boca Juniors 6-1 on aggregate.
Los Xeneizes destroyed Santos in both legs 2-0 and 3-1.
However this time it was different for Peixe.
Both clubs tied nil-nil in Montevideo.
All Peixe needed to do was win out right.
This is what Santos did.
Neymar’s goal in the 46th minute was a thing of beauty.
Mate Ganso took the rock straight to the rack. Henrique Ganso stopped at the top of the box and swung a wide pass to Neymar.
Neymar one timed the shot between the keeper and the left post.
Danilo ripped the twines in the 68th minute.
The Manyas made close when Durval found the back of the net in the 79th minute.
Close but no cigar for Penarol.
Game, set, and match for Santos.
UOL put it this way- O torcedor santista por muitos anos foi rotulado de “viúva de Pelé” por torcidas rivais. A geração liderada por Neymar e Paulo Henrique Ganso provou nesta quarta-feira contra o Peñarol que a chacota não faz sentido e que o clube vai muito além de Pelé. Com o Pacaembu lotado, o time alvinegro venceu por 2 a 1 em jogo dramático e conquistou o tricampeonato da Libertadores.
I am happy for Santos but I am a Flamenguista for life.

Lanus did what they need to do to secure second place in the Clausura.
El Granate doubled up on River Plate 2-1.
Los Millionaires was hoping to get a win to at least finish in the top seven but this was not the case.
A late goal by Lanus’s Leandro Diaz in the 90th minute spelled doom for Los Millionaires.
El Granate finished the season with 35 points.
Boca Juniors and Gimnasia LP tied two all.
Argentinos Juniors and Tigre tied one all.
Bichos Colorados ended the season in fifth place with 30 big ones.
Los Xeneizes wound up in 7th place with 28 points.
This was Boca’s best finish in the Clausura since their second place finish in 2008.
Boca also finished second in the 2008 Apertura.
The past four years Los Xeneizes has stunk the joint out big time in both the Clausura and Apertura.
Both Boca and River Plate are two of the most decorated clubs in Argentina futebol history.

Santos hung on for dear life. Peixe and Cerro Porteno tied three all in Assuncao, Paraguay. Santos advanced on aggregate 4-3.
Peixe scored three first half goals to jump out to a 3-1 lead.
Cerro Porteno scored two second half goal to make this sucker close.
Neymar (45th minute) and Ze Eduardo (2nd minute) ripped the twines for Santos.
The difference in this puppy was an own goal by Porteno’s Diego Barreto in the 28th minute.
This was a classic keystone cops routine.
Neymar broke free into the offensive zone. This forced the keeper Diego Barreto to leave his line. Defender Pedro Benitez jumped between Neymar and the keeper. Benitez’s noggin hit the ball to the keeper Barreto. Barreto looked like he was swatting butterflies and batted the ball into the back of the net.
Game, set, and match to Peixe.
Peixe has not won the Copa Libertadores since 1963.
Santos also won this sucker in 1962.
Peixe’s last trip to the Copa finals happened 2003.
Santos lost to Boca Juniors.
Tonight Velez Sarsfield battles Penarol on Thursday night in El Fortin’s house in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Uruguayan side Penarol won the first leg 1-0 in their house in Montevideo.
UOL wrote this about the Peixe win- Na classificação do Santos à final da Libertadores após oito anos teve de tudo. Um gol bizarro, o fim do jejum de Zé Eduardo, a marca de Neymar, a expulsão do capitão Edu Dracena e outros três gols do Cerro Porteño. Foi com o empate por 3 a 3, na noite desta quarta-feira, no estádio Olla Azulgrana, em Assunção, no Paraguai, que o alvinegro se classificou. O placar agregado foi 4 a 3 para o time da Vila.
Will Santos win their first Copa title since 1963?
We will find out.
