If it were up to me Racing would have all the $ they need and you wouldn’t have to suffer through this mess ! In addition to no Caranta, Ibarra is still out and Maidana is not quick enough to fill his shoes. I would almost rather see the new kid, Monzon start on that side.

Don’t count your money in front of the poor! hahaha!

As for Estudiantes, they made me think last night how there are teams with a tradition and a history of being up to the task in continental cups.

Real Madrid and Milan (with the exception of this year) are clear examples. As Liverpool.

And then you have the likes of Lyon, Valencia and (to some extent) Inter. Teams that don’t seem to be up for it outside their own countries.

Estudiantes is one of the most “COPEROS” teams in the World. I’m sorry but I don’t have a word in English to express that.

Boca, Independiente (only in the 70′s), Peñarol, Nacional (in the early Copa Libertadores years) and São Paulo are all in that same group.

While River (the Argentine team with more presences in the Copa Libertadores and yet only won it twice) and San Lorenzo (never won it) can join the less “COPERO” team of all times in South America: America de Cali (a team that played the Copa Libertadores final 5 times and never won it. On a funny note, River won their 2 Copa Libertadores beating non-other than America de Cali in the finals!).

Also…back to Estudiantes…it was incredible to see all those fans in Uruguay. It looked like a home game for them. Considering it was a week day and the game was televised live in Argentina, it was amazing to see that “hinchada” bringing a lot of people to the Centenario.

I fear his backup, Migliore will not be up to the task. Maybe I am missing something, but Migliore just does not strike me as the type of quality reserve one would expect at Boca. I guess with all that moola going to Roman they have to pick their spots to save a little. It could be ugly.
