Author: Boca once again is stinking the joint out. Boca Juniors lost to relegation bound Gimnasia La Plata 1-0.
This is not good. After Abel Alves was given his walking papers Boca responded by thrashing Arsenal 4-0 on Monday.
Boca reverted to their old ways.
With the win Gimnasia moved out of the drop zone
Marco Perez was the hero for Gimnasia when he nailed as screamer of a free kick to seal the deal.
Los Xeneizes are falling apart at the seams. Stars Martine Palermo and Riquelme are fighting. This resulted in Boca losing to bottom feeder Gimnasia.
However, Gimnasia now can breath somewhat easier for they are a step above the heave-hoe zone.
San Lorenzo shut out Huracan 3-0. Newell’s Old Boys and Rosario Central tied nil-nil.
Racing beat Velez Sarsfield 3-1.
River Plate finally tickled the twines. Los Millonarios beat front-runner Godoy 2-1.
Surprise, surprise, surprise River finally came away with a win. It only took River Plate almost a month.
The loss dropped Godoy Cruz outta first place to fourth. Godoy has 28 points.
Estudiantes is in first place with 30 points. Independiente has 30 points too but Estudiantes has a better goal difference a plus fourteen to a plus eight.
Argentinos Juniors is in third place with 29 points.
Argentinos and Arsenal de Sarandi tied two all on Monday.

A funny thing happened on the way to Barcelona. Our guys from Arsenal were missing their key players. It was a slaughter. Barca handed us our lunch 4-1.
What did you expect miracles.
The Gunners were without Fabregas, Alex Song, and Andrea Arshavin.
Jeez, this is like sending the lamb out to fight the wolves armed with a butter knife.
We never had a chance.
This is similar to a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.
Lionel Messi hit for the quadruple.
My grandmother could have done that against an injury depleted squad.
She’s been dead since 1976.
Messi is good but lets see how he would have done against our best.
Nicholas Bendtner scored Arsenal’s lone tally in the 18th minute.
This was good but it went downhill from there.
Injuries are killing us.
Enough said on this subject.
In the Clausura Boca Juniors is a race to see how fast they can stink the joint out. Boca gave up a late goal to Rosario Central and wound up losing 2-1.
River Plate lost to Lanus 1-0.
Both River and Boca stink to high heaven.
Godoy Cruz shut out Velez Sarsfield 2-0.
Boca is hovering near the bottom of the table.
Boca is in 18th place with 11 points.
Rosario Central is in 19th with 11 points as well however; Boca is a minus six while Rosario Central is a minus seven.
River Plate is in 16th place with 12 points.
Independiente sits atop the table with 27 points. Godoy Cruz is in second place with 24 points. Argentinos Juniors is third with 22 points.
Now the teams that have stunk the joint like Argentinos Juniors and Godoy are flying high while top clubs Boca and River are bottom feeders.
You gotta love it.

I thought Boca Juniors would come out breathing like a house on fire instead Los Xeneizes have with played with the explosiveness of a pop gun.
Boca had their clocks, shirts, and tails handed to them by Newell’s Old Boys on Saturday. Newell’s destroyed Los Xeneizes 4-2.
Newell’s Old Boy jumped all over Boca. Newell’s scored the first three goals of the match. Before Los Xeneizes could turn around it was 3-0. In rapid succession, Newell’s scored in the 2nd, 15th, 18th minute of the match. Juan Insaurralde ripped the twines in the 2nd minute. Jorge Achucarro tickled the twines in the 15th minute. Three minutes later, 18th minute, Mauro Formica hit pay dirt.
Boca made it close with a couple of cosmetic goals in the 34th minute and 86th minute. Martin Palermo nailed the PK in the 34th minute to cut the lead to 3-1.
Lucas Viatri hit the winner in the 86th minute to make it close.
Newell’s put this sucker away in the 90th minute. Lucas Bernardi left fly with a wicked shot that beat the keeper dead to rights.
Newell’s was firmly in control of this match from the outset.
River Plate was coming off a hot 3-2 won over Chacarita Juniors. River Plate defender Paulo Ferrari found the Midas touch scoring twice in the win. However, Sunday was a different story for River Plate. River Plate reverted to their old ways and tied nil-nil with Rosario Central.
Godoy Cruz started out the season with two straight wins but this came crashing down in flames on Sunday. Godoy and Independiente kissed their sister nada-nada.
All is not lost for Godoy for they are in second place with seven points.
Velez Sarsfield has seven points as well but Velez has a better goal difference. Velez is a plus four while Godoy is a plus two.
Defending champ Banfield is off to a slow start. They have one win, and one tie. Banfield has three points but they do have a game in hand.
Both Boca and River have identical records of 1-1-1. River and Boca each have three points. Boca is in ninth place while River is in eleventh.
Boca is even Steven in goal difference while Boca is a minus one.
There is big news coming out of Brasil. Dunga has named the squad for Brasil’s final tune up against Ireland on March 2nd before World Cup play begins for real in June. Dunga did not include Ronaldinho. Dunga has come under fire from the locals as well as the press for not including him.
This is a good move. This clown Ronaldinho was a good player. Yes, he still exhibits some of the scoring flair that made him one of the best players in the world but he is still a head case. Ronaldinho’s inclusion to the squad will kill the team’s chemistry.
He is still not a team player.
Good for Dunga not succumbing to the pressure to use this idiot.
