He’s still young. Also had a couple of booming shots that missed by a hair. The downside of having Chavez start is that Boca gives up a very good holding midfielder in Vargas.

Paletta is a mean sumbitch. Maybe even meaner than Morel, but bigger.

Until that game, I have never been a big Palacio fan. (Poor guy, he became the starter after Tevez.) Also, Chavez gave the ball away several times.

Meanwile, Fluminense is so dangerous. They make a lot out of few opportunties.

Did anybody catch the reply of Paletta running over Darío Conca? Conca was crushed.

That made me think and I think I’ve found the key to our horrible campaign (decade).

We’ve got too many teenagers and not a single Ferrari in our garage!

He’s not fit for the job and management should have been aware of that. As Bostero Forever put it, blaming Migliore is like blaming your teenage son for smashing your new Ferrari when you gave him the keys to the car.

If we ever pass this step, he would be playing the final match of the Libertadores three weeks ahead.

Each task is more difficult than the last one. It’s like the Twelve Labours of Hercules. Should we expect, at the end of this via crucis some kind of incredible mystical inniciation?
Not to lose in Belo Horizonte against Cruzeiro was not easy task. We beat them 2-1.
In Guadalajara it wasn’t enough not to lose, now we’d have to win. Boca beat Atlas 3 – 0.
Boca always doing a little more than it was needed.
But now…
O.K., I think is too much. Though Fluminense is not San Pablo or Cruzeiro, we have to beat them in the legendary Maracaná if we want to continue on this ordeal!

The curious thing is that many people think Boca can do it, as easily as he had donne it many times before.
I think, too, that Boca can do it.
After all, that’s the stuff dreams are made of.

I stand by my comments from the past and it was clear to all that he threw that match away last night. I still think Boca should trade him to a Z league team in Jujuy. I think Palermo wanted to kill him after the match. On to a more optimistic view, the combination of Roman and Chavez has really torqued up Boca’s offense. Chavez is relentless in his drive on the opponents side of the pitch, and his enganche skills have allowed Ischia to have Roman get in closer and consequently be much more dangerous. Nearly everybody had a very good performance last night, and as always Battaglia was over the top good, though he came off with a slight injury. Ibarra however is not his old self yet.

So, on to Brazil next week, where Boca will have to outscore Flu to make him for “him”. I believe I will now begin to refer to Migliore as “him”, much as many portenos refer to Menem.:)

:)

Come on, Johnny…you’re an American, you love your stats, don’t you?
