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 24^th domestic title.

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.

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.

Mengao was in position to keep the top spot in Group A with win over Cabofriense. Not this fine Sunday. Flamengo and Cabofriense tied nil-nil.

With this tie, Rubro-Negro falls to third place in Group A with eight points.

Flamengo has not lost a match in the Carioca competition.

Mengao has two wins and two draws so far in the phase of the Carioca.

Vasco is top dog with nine points.

Boavista-RJ is in second place with nine points but Gigante da Colina has a plus four while Boavista-RJ has a plus 3.

Mengao is a plus two.

We were minus two of our star players Ronaldinho Gaucho and Thiago Neves.

Both were given the heave-hoe for this sucker.

UOL put it this way-Sem a inspiração de Ronaldinho Gaúcho e Thiago Neves, que cumpriram suspensão automática, o Flamengo não teve uma boa atuação e apenas empatou em 0 a 0 com a Cabofriense, neste domingo, no Estádio Cláudio Moacyr, em Macaé. Em jogo de baixa qualidade técnica, as duas equipes pouco criaram e o placar foi mais do que merecido.

This shows Flamengo can hang in there without their top players.

Yes, the jury is still out on this subject.

Mengao has not played top competition on day in and day out basis.

This long grind will begin late May and early June.

In the Argentina Clausura the top dog is Olimpo with 13 points. In second place is Racing with 12 points and Estudiantes is third with 12.

River Plate is slowly slipping down the table.

Los Millionaires is in sixth place with nine points.

Boca Juniors is near the bottom of the table with four points.

Los Xeneizes is buried in 18^th place.

To make matters worse Boca was killed by the pole sitter Olimpo 2-0.

Los Millionaires and Los Xeneizes are two of the most storied and successful clubs in Argentinos history.

Now they are a laughing stock.

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.

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.

Boca is really struggling in the Clausura.

With the loss, Los Xeneizes dropped to 17^th place.

Boca has eight points in nine matches.

This stinks big time folks.

River Plate shut out Huracan 2-0.

Huracan’s Ezequiel Nicholas Filippetto made a dumb-dumb play. He fired the ball into his own net in the 2^nd minute to give River Plate a 1-0 lead.

Argentinos Juniors Nicolas Pavlovich was camped near the back post. He slipped the ball past the keeper in the 77^th minute.

Argentinos Juniors keeper Luis Ojeda stone cold stopped him.

This save sent Racing to a 1-0 defeat at the hands Argentinos Juniors.

Let’s turn our attention to the second leg of the Champions League first round knockout stage.

Internazionale Sameul Eto’o scored the match winner in the 77^th minute to beat Chelsea 1-0.

Samuel Eto’o took it straight to the rack and beat the keeper Ross Turnbull. He beat Turnbull one on one. 

A wicked pass set up this goal from Wesley Sneijder.

It is on to the next round for Jose Mourinho’s side.

When Jose Mourinho was the Blues manager, he never lost a home league game.

Revenge is sweet.

Inter is on to the next round while the Blues are outta here.

CSKA Moscow upset Sevilla 2-1.

CSKA is on to the next round as well.

Aston Villa picked up a huge 2-1 win over Wigan. The difference in the match happened in the 25^th minute.

Wigan’s James McCarthy fired the ball into his own net.

The Latics McCarthy misplayed a no pressure ball and shanked this baby into the back of his own net.

Choke City baby.

Wigan’s Gary Caldwell evened this baby up two minutes later (27^th minute) however Villa’s James Milner hit the winner 63^rd minute.

The win moves Aston Villa into seventh place with 49 points in 28 games.

The race for the final Champions League spot looks like this.

Tottenham has 52 points in 28 matches. Liverpool is in fifth place with 51 points in 30 games. City is in sixth place 50 points in 28 matches.
