River Plate was sent packing for the first time in their illustrious futebol history. Los Millionaires is the most decorated futebol club in Argentinos history now River Plate is hanging out in the Nacional B.

River Plate is making a long climb out of outer Siberia. Los Millionaires is in second place in Primera Nacional B with 33 points. Instituto is top dog with 35 points.

The top two clubs will get a get outta jail free card. So far River Plate is in second place.

Los Millionaires next match is against Chacarita Juniors on February 4^th.

River Plate had won 33 domestic titles, five international crowns- two Copa Libertadores titles, one International Cup (FIFA World Club title), one Super Copa Sudamericana crown, and one Copa Interamercana title.

The club was founded in 1901. Now River Plate is attempting to get back to where they belong with big boys.

What killed Los Millionaires was their 75 million dollar debt. Former President Jose Maria Aguilar was fired and Daniel Pasarella replaced him.  Shortly thereafter when River Plate was given the heave-hoe manager Juan Jose Lopez resigned.

Matias Almeyda is now River Plate’s manager.

So far so good for Los Millionaires.

The F A Cup is the talk of the town this weekend in England. The headline match is Liverpool-Man U battle. This puppy will be played at the Reds house Anfield.

Liverpool is coming off a huge win over Man City to advance to the finals of the Carling Cup.

This will be the first of two matches. If either one wins the loser is sent packing.

The last time these two clubs met Reds Luis Suarez was given an eight-match ban for racial comments he made to Red Devils Patrice Evra.

Both managers are trying to down play this incident.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish said this – We want to concentrate on going out and playing football and any other sideshow is purely that, it is just a sideshow.”

“Everyone has a responsibility to uphold the names of their respective club and anyone who reports or comments on the game also has the responsibility to make sure they are not trying to incite trouble. But it is not only the fans who have to behave themselves; we have a responsibility to behave – but that is the case every time.”

Sir Alex said this – “It is a massive game for both clubs. There is a tremendous profile on it and will be interest throughout the country. As Steven Gerrard said, there is a responsibility on the players to behave properly. That is what I expect my players to do.”

FA Cup play on Friday saw Everton defeat Fulham 2-1. The Cottagers drew first blood when the Toffees John Heitinga touched the ball in the box. Fulham’s Danny Murphy nailed the PK in the 15^th minute for a 1-0 Cottagers lead.

Everton found the answer in the 27^th minute.

Danny Stracualursi nailed the winner to level this sucker at one all.

The Toffees hit the match winner in the 73^rd minute. Marouane Fellaini noodled home the winner. A great cross into the box by Landon Donovan set up this puppy.

Everton is on to the next round.

Tottenham escaped with a tough 1-0 win over Watford.

Rafael Vander Vaart scored the match winner in the 42^nd minute.

Spurs are on to the next round.

Championship side Watford gave Spurs all they could handle. The Hornets rattled the cages twice but couldn’t push the ball across the finish line.

Here are few of the matches taking place in the FA Cup later today.

Chelsea is at Queens Park Rangers.

Brighton entertains Newcastle.

Derby County-Stoke City.

West Brom- Norwich City.

There is bigger news in the world of futebol than the USA wearing the choke collar against Mexico.

Get this! The biggest and most successful futebol club in Argentina history is história.

You will never guess in a million years who it is unless you are Argentinos.

I bet my buds Doctor Palau would know and so would my friend Julio.

River Plate was sent packing after losing their first leg to second division Belgrano 2-0 and tying the second one all.

Los Millionaires needed to win the second leg of this sucker 3-0 or better.

Not on this day in front of the home faithful in Buenos Aires.

Belgrano and River Plate tied one all sending the winners of 33 club titles into oblivion.

Argentina has a crazy regulation system.

It works something like this.

The futebol association averages the last three-season points total to see who plays in the two-leg death match.

Los Millionaires has stunk the joint out the last three years.

You wanna talk about crazy crap the River Plate fans went bananas and almost tore the joint apart.

Mexico exposed the Americans for what they are.

USA futebol is a joke.

The 4-2 thrashing administered by Mexico should serve as a huge warning and lesson to the USA futebol association.

Get real players not fake ones.

Chicharito and the boys gave the Americans a good old-fashioned butt whooping.

American jumped out to a 2-0 lead on brilliant goals by Michael Bradley and Landon Donovan.

In truth these goals were the result of two good counter attacks.

These goals were flukes.

It should have 3-0 before the Americans scored the first goal of the match in the 8^th minute.

Mexico was taking it to the USA from the opening bell.

Mexico was faster.

The Americans “D” was exposed.

 The back four should be shot for crappy play.

Carlos Bocanegra, Clarence Goodson, Eric Lichaj, and Steve Cherundo looked like schoolgirls chasing boys around the schoolyard.

Tim Howard was made to look horrible especially when Mexican attacker Giovanni Dos Santos took it to the rack.

The entire USA back line couldn’t stop him.

Howard had to come off his line and stop the first shot.

De Santos shifted the ball to his left foot.

He deeked right and stepped left.

De Santos lifted a spinner over the top of the American defender.

The ball squeezed between the defender and the left post.

Howard was swinging wildly in the wind to stop the shot.

Sure Yank defender Steve Cherundo left the match early in the first half with an injury but even with this clown in there the Mexicans were running rings around the Americans.

Mexico has young guns.

These cats are quick.

Javier Hernandez, Dos Santos, and Andres Guardado are good players.

Chicharito is on the verge of becoming a world-class player.

This next year at Man U will tell how far this kid has come.

Tim Howard, Clint Dempsey and Freddie Adu are the only real players the USA has.

Get rid of the rest of this clowns.

Bob Bradley needs to be fired.

Bring in a real futebol coach.

Who?

Jose Mourinho.

Is Mexico a world-class futebol club?

No!

For now.

Let’s see how well they do against the real world powers-Brasil, Argentina, Italy, Spain, and Germany.

America wake up.

Our best athletes play football and basketball not futebol.

Until this changes American futebol will be second class at best.

Every once in a while they flirt with becoming a good team.

Until our best athletes decide they want to play futebol instead of football and hoops this is the result we can expect.

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 90^th 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 7^th 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.

Velez Sarsfield picked up a much needed 2-0 win over Godoy Cruz. El Fortin is top dog in the Clausura with 33 points.

Juan Martinez broke the dead lock in the 64^th minute.

Mate David Ramirez put this sucker away in the 90^th minute.

Lanus took care of business beating Independiente 2-1.

Argentinos Juniors and Estudiantes tied nil-nil.

Lanus jumps into second place with the win.

Godoy drops to third place.

Boca falls to sixth while River Plate is now in eighth place.

There are two matches left in the winter season.

Velez Sarsfield, Lanus, and Godoy Cruz are the only three clubs to compete for the title.

El Fortin has 33 points.

El Granate has 32.

Tomba has 28 points.

Let the fun and games begin.
