It is all over but the shouting in the Argentinos Clausura. Velez Sarsfield wrapped up the title last week when they beat Huracan 2-0.

This is a done deal for El Fortin.

Velez Sarsfield has won the Clausura the last two out of three years.

El Fortin won in 2009.

In 2010 Velez Sarsfield dropped to ninth place in the table.

The battle will be for second place between Lanus, Godoy Cruz, and Argentinos Juniors.

El Granate has 32 points.

Tomba has 31 points.

Bichos Colorados has 29 points.

Lanus is in the drivers seat. All El Granate has to do is win their final match.

Godoy Cruz needs to win and hope that El Granate either loses or ties.

Argentinos Juniors is a long shot to take over second place.

Too many things have to happen for Bichos Colorado to slip past Velez Sarsfield.

Argentinos Juniors needs to win by thirteen goals and hopes that El Fortin loses by thirteen.

This ain’t gonna happen in this lifetime.

The best Bichos Colorados can hope for is that Godoy loses their final match of the season.

If this happens Argentinos Juniors will capture third place.

Another European futebol season is in the books. Man U won the EPL. This gives Sir Alex and the boys a record 19 titles.

Both Man U and Liverpool shared the record for most English division one crowns at 18.

Man U made to the Champions League finals the last three out of four years.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford won one and lost twice.

In 2009 and 2011, the Red Devils lost to the cheaters from Barcelona.

The Catalans have one of the best sides on the planet. Barca made Sir Alex and his chargers look like mere mortals.

When the Catalans won the 2009 title, they had a huge Bullseye on their backs.

They crashed and burned in the quarterfinals in 2009.

Will this happen in 2012 competition?

We will surely find out.

Don’t call me Shirley.

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Have you ever seen a grown man cry?

Barcelona has one of the best players in the world Lionel Messi.

Messi has performed very well in the league play and the Champions League.

Messi needs now to play lights out on the world stage- The World Cup.

Messi isn’t a Pele.

Close but no cigar.

Pele burst onto the world futebol stage in the 1958 World Cup.

All this cat did was have a hat trick in the semifinals.

Pele then turned around nailed a daily double leading Brasil to the world crown.

Pele was 18 years old.

Will Messi reach Pele’s heights?

Only if he can play lights out and lead Argentinos to the title.

Argentina has a top-notch squad.

Messi, Tevez, Martin Palermo, Juan Riquelme, and Maxi Rodriguez are just some of the world-class players Argentinos has.

In the Clausura Godoy Cruz and Gimnasia tied two all.

Tomba has now fallen to third place.

Top dog is Velez Sarsfield with 30 points.

Second place is Lanus is 29 points.

Godoy is third with 28.

Swansea City booked their place in the EPL. The Swans defeated the Reading Choo-choo guys 4-2 at Wembley Stadium.

The hat trick by Swansea City’s Scott Sinclair spelled doom for the Royals.

Sinclair nailed two PK’s plus a laser shot into the back of the net in the 22^nd minute to send the Swans to the Promised Land.

Scott Sinclair turned the tide for Swansea City in two-minute span.

A PK in the 20^th minute and his lay up goal in the 22^nd minute.

The Reading Choo-choo guys made to the First Division for the first time in 2006-07 but were sent packing in after the 2007-08 season.

This is Swansea City’s first trip to the English Futebol first division.

Queens Park Rangers and Norwich City already booked their spots with the big boys by finishing first and second in the English League Championship.

Top dog in the Argentinos Clausura is Velez Sarsfield with 30 points.

El Fortin lost to Tigre 2-1.

Saturday is the big day.

Man U-Barcelona battle for the Champions League crown.

The last time these two sides met in the final Barca had their way with Sir Alex and his guys 2-0.

Will Saturday be a repeat of this?

It could well be.

The Barca cheaters have one of the best players in the world Lionel Messi. His wing mates are David Villa, Pedro, and Xavi.

Camp Nou has a ton of team speed.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford have Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney, and Chicharito.

This should be a great one.

The Red Devils are playing in their house Wembley.

Will this make a difference?

It could.

The cheaters from Barca should win.

But don’t count out Sir Alex.

He has many tricks in his bag of tricks.

Pepe is a master também.

The major European Leagues are winding down for the Summer while in the Southern Hemisphere futebol is just heating up.

Brasil will start their Campeonato May 21.

The Clausura in Argentina will end June 19^th. Argentinos will take a break and then kick it back up again in August. The Apertura kicks off the Spring months (August) and ends in December (Summer).

The pole sitter is Velez Sarsfield with 27 points.

Second place belongs to Godoy Cruz. Cruz has 23 points.

Hanging out in third place is Olimpo with 22 points.

River Plate is in fourth place with 22 points também.

Los Millionaires has a plus three while Olimpo is a plus six.

Boca Juniors has crept into the 10^th spot with 18 points.

This past weekend All Boys shut out River Plate 2-0.

Velez defeated Banfield 2-0 while Godoy Cruz defeated Newell’s Old Boys 3-1.

Los Xeneizes defeated Argentinos Juniors 2-0.

Boca leap frogged all the way from 15^th place to tenth place.

There are six matches left in the season so Boca has an outside chance to win the title.

This Sunday is the battle of the giants Boca-River Plate in Buenos Aires.

This will be an all out war.

It always is.

River Plate has won 33 domestic titles while Boca has 23 domestic crowns and 18 international club titles.

It is good to see the big boys becoming competitive again.

For a period of six years, both River Plate and Boca Juniors have stunk the joint out big time.

The race for the Clausura title is heating up. There is one week left in the season. For many years, Argentinos Juniors stunk the joint out but now they are top dog with 38 points.

Bichos Colorados defeated Independiente 4-3 on Sunday.

Argentinos Juniors scored the match winner in the dying moments of the match.

Matias Caruzzo nailed a close range header to propel Bichos Colorados into first place.

Second place Estudiantes and bottom feeder Rosario Central tied nil-nil. This tie could cost Los Pincharratas the Clausura title. Estudiantes was in first place prior to play on Sunday May 9^th.

Los Pincharratas has 37 points.

Godoy Cruz is in third place with 34 points.

River Plate ripped the twines in a 3-0 win over Racing.

Los Millonarios are in 12^th place with 22 points.

Boca Juniors lost to Huracan 2-1.

I bet the Los Xeneizos can’t wait until the Clausura is over.

Boca is currently in 15^th place.

If Argentinos Juniors can beat Huracan on Sunday May 16^th, the title is theirs.

If Bichos Colorados ties and Estudiantes losses the title is Argentinos Juniors, however if Estudiantes wins and Bichos Colorados losses or ties Los Pincharratas is the champ.

Oh yes, this is fun in the sun.

It all comes down to the last week of the season.

It is all over but the shouting in the EPL. It is winding down in the Argentina Clausura.

Estudiantes looks like they have the inside track to win the title.

They took care of San Luis on Wednesday night with a 2-1 win.

This victory moved Estudiantes into first place with 36 points.

Argentinos Juniors is a point back in second place 35 points.

Argentinos Juniors doubled up on San Lorenzo 2-1.

This was a huge away win for them.

Godoy Cruz is in third place with 31 points.

Godoy lost to lower level club Rosario Central 2-1.

This lost may have cost them a shot at the title.

Godoy was in first place on May 17^th but since then they have lost two out of three.

This is a killer. 

The boys from River Plate are in 15^th place with 19 points. Los Millonarios picked up a rare 2-1 win over Velez Sarsfield on Friday April 30^th.

Los Xeneizos are a touch better in 14^th place with 20 points. Boca Juniors defeated Independiente 3-2.

Both River Plate and Boca Juniors have been playing like crap for the past few years.

It has been reported that Riquelme could be quitting Boca once the Clausura ends on May 16^th.

This could mark the end of great run for Juan Riquelme at Boca.

Football in America had this to say- One of the greatest players in the history of Argentine football,” was how one TV pundit described him a few weeks ago. It’s a huge epithet to bestow on any player, but in the case of Juan Roman Riquelme, it might be justified.

Riquelme further stated- “Sunday could be my last match for Boca at La Bombonera,” Riquelme told one of the country’s main football TV shows on Monday. “Normally given the current state of contract negotiations] I wouldn’t go on the post-season tour with the rest of the squad.”

This is it from the far side.

We’ll talk about the massive EPL season finale on Monday.

Boca finally got off the schnid with a huge 2-0 win over San Lorenzo. Riquelme returned to action for the Los Xeneizes. He led Boca to the win. Riquelme fired a perfect header into the teeth of the box. Mate Matias Gimenez ripped the winner in the fourth minute to give Boca a 1-0 lead.

Riquelme fed his buddy Martin Palermo NOT! Palermo tickled the twines in the 71^st minute to secure the win.

Riquelme and Palermo hugged each other after the goal.

Did they bury the Hackett?

I doubt it.

Winning cures all problems.

River Plate reverted to their losing ways. Los Millonarios stunk the joint out in a 1-0 loss to Estudiantes.

River Plate cannot score or win on a consistent basis.

Argentinos Juniors blasted relegation bound Gimnasia La Plata 3-1.

Atletico Tucuman tied two all with Rosario Central. Tucuman was given their walking papers. Adios amigo.

The Clausura looks like this.

Top dog is Estudiantes with 33 points. Argentinos Juniors is in second place with 32 points. Godoy Cruz is third with 31 points.

River Plate dropped to 17^th place. Los Millonarios has 16 points.

Boca is a notch better. Los Xeneizes has 17 points.

It is sad to see Boca and River stinking the joint out but it is nice to see clubs like Godoy Cruz, Argentinos Juniors, and Estudiantes compete for the Clausura title.
