Comments on: The final approaches http://hastaelgolsiempre.com/2008/12/23/the-final-approaches/ More fútbol argentino than you can shake a mullet at Sun, 27 May 2012 20:17:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Matthew Gilbert http://hastaelgolsiempre.com/2008/12/23/the-final-approaches/#comment-3113 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 01:38:34 +0000 http://hastaelgolsiempre.com/?p=2321#comment-3113 I agree Seba. I thought the original rules were that if all teams were level, Tigre would be champions by virtue of having beaten them both in regular season.

I honestly kept thinking of Liverpool 0 Arsenal 2 in 1989 during the closing minutes, it was an extraordinarily similar scenario… except that this was rigged. Maybe I was seeing infringements everywhere, but Luna looked to have been fouled inside the box, and Morel obstructed just outside it as the clock ticked.

It’s a fix, AFA always want Boca and River to win. I hope Tigre can keep this side together and win the Clausura, with no Copa Lib involvement (and assuming that Racing have no chance of winning it, though it would be a nice fantasy for a bit).

Boca win the title losing twice to Tigre (one at home and one in neutral ground).

And they win it on goal difference! How come they can win it on goal difference and San Lorenzo can’t after 19 matches?

I mean…if goal difference was the tie-breaker, then San Lorenzo would have won it.

This is rubbish. A horrible farce.

Now there is no harm for Pezzotta to show him the yellow.

I can’t think of a more difficult game to make your debut in. Tigre goalkeeper Ardente will go through a lot tonight.

I’m hoping in vain for a Tigre 2-goal win…

I would be pretty surprised if Gracian does not start, but he has not played in quite awhile. With that in mind, Ischia might go with Chavez. But, I think experience will win out, with Gracian on for Roman, and Alvaro Gonzalez on for Vargas.

If any win was enough they might have been able to do it, but needing to win by two just makes it too tough for them I reckon. Boca to be crowned champions.
