Huracán fans to protest in front of AFA headquarters later today.

A couple of lawyers will press charges against Brazenas! Yes, it may sound crazy, but I think they have a point. Not even a heavy suspension on Brazenas will make up for all the damages (financial and otherwise) that he has caused to the club, the players and fans of Huracán.

All of this will fall in def ears, of course, but I totally support Huracán’s cause.

Regarding Cubero…you’ve got to admire him! Only one red card when he averages at least 1 punch or elbow to a rival’s face per game.

Not to mention he should have been suspended for the final match for the red card he saw against Lanús, but due to a dodgy use of the 225 article (which allows a suspended player to play when a team-mate returns injured from international duty). Apparently, Chilean Waldo Ponce, came back with an injury after the last time he joined the Chile squad.

What happened during the weekend was a terrible thing for football. No doubt.

And to think that until their impressive run in the 90s, Velez was a likable team for almost every fan of other teams. They had one only one title until then (1968) and they were respected. But they got so cocky after they won a few things and now nobody can stand them anymore.

Absolutely fantastic post joe, agree with every word.

The game shouldn’t have even been played on that pitch after the hailstorm.

Cubero is one of the worst cheats in that team, his performance against Racing was a disgrace.

I didn’t even watch Vélez celebrate, I turned off the stream. Like I do most of the time if Vélez are playing. The only time I ever saw good football from them was against Colón. Otherwise, a horrible, snide and very lucky team.

Guess we’re all still pretty angry about that fiasco even after 2 days?

Huracan were robbed their rightful trophy.
That referee is a inept idiot letting the match get stolen by Velez. It would not surprise me if he got bribe money.

He is so bad he should get a job in England.
And could be like their ref that gave three yellow cards to the same player at the World Cup.

No doubt about it Huracan were criminally robbed and to watch Velez celebrate like they won it on actual merit was disgusting beyond words.. I’ll never have a good thing to say about Velez or any of it’s players. A bunch of cheats is all they are.

Congratulations to Velez Sarfield, thou I think Huracan was the team that better played all through the League.

I just hope Huracán will have the same sort of team, and they don’t all get signed up by minor German clubs… :-(

Vélez will get trampled on in the 2010 Copa Libertadores.

As for Cappa, do you think he’ll ever get the national side job? I never rated him before, always thought he just talked the beautiful game, but with exactly the side that was going nowhere with Ubeda, he’s shown a touch of genius. Imagine him with Tevez, Messi etc (maybe even Riquelme).
