Most of the pre-season will be done by then anyway, you might be in town for the first weekend of the Clausura. That’ll give you a choice (in the Gran Buenos Aires area) of River vs. Colón, Huracán vs. San Martín (T), Lanús vs. Racing, Argentinos vs. Arsenal, Independiente vs. Velez, or if you fancy a trip on a little toytown train forty minutes or so to the north of BA, Tigre vs. San Lorenzo. If you feel like making it out to La Plata, Estudiantes will be at home to Central.

The exact date for these hasn’t been confirmed yet but I’d expect it to be the first or second weekend in February.

I am visiting BA in Feb 09 2nd till 12th and I was told the season is closed then but that duing the close Boca and RP play “friendlies”. Is this true and are there any dates set yet.

Many thanks,

Frank.

I always had a suspicion that Di Stefano was Irish he surely must be some relation to another great irish man with typical latin american flair Zinedine Kilbane.

They surely are the worst federation in the world!

Why do they play the entire tournament with the away-goal rule and they get rid of it in the final?

How is that sensible? How does that make any sense?

I’m sorry you’ll miss the extra-time. I’ll stay put, of course. But it’s only midnight here!

We’re heading for extra time. Why can’t CONMEBOL stick to one set of rules for every round? Honestly…

No way I can stay up for another half hour. Such a shame, I’ve enjoyed the game!
