And Morel, it’s not just the goals he scores, it’s the quality of them. This is one of the reasons I watch Argentine football, goals of signaly good quality of the sort that the old ‘maverick’ players used to score in English football 30 years ago. Players like Morel are willing to try things more staid European players don’t even contemplate, and although the defending isn’t the best, it’s still good to watch.

Anyway, here’s to Racing opening up the title race with a win tonight! I’m even supporting Boca tonight as well, Racing are surely going to get out of this (and I wish I could get a bookie to give me odds on Huracan’s direct relegation, Cesar Gonzalez notwithstanding. Their defence is simply not good enough, and Cappa isn’t the kind of coach who will rectify that… they should have gone for Merlo.
