It is a great opportunity ON PAPER. The problem with Racing is that we need to beat Racing first and then think of beating our rivals. We are our main obstacle when it comes to get points, when it comes to score. From what I've heard, the goalkeeper will be a kid called García (never heard of him before!). Another youngster in action will be Ibañez (left back) and the only really experienced player they will use is Gracián. Maybe with the addition of Alvaro Gonzalez, Neri Cardozo and Gabriel Paletta. But again...our problem nowadays is Racing and how can we beat Racing! Well, Johnny. It is a great opportunity ON PAPER.

They also said that Paletta is back but will play next to Roncaglia, which means Caceres is out as well (and probably Morel Rodriguez). No other info was provided, but I am guessing Roman won't play and would wager that Palacio, if he plays, won't be on the pitch for more than one period. Looks like an opportunity for Racing to steal three points to me.

He's know searching for as much about the guy as he can in the hope that he's found Matt Le Tissier's spiritual successor!

Of course I didn't reveal my team as he would have had a lot of reasons to laugh at me! ;) Anyway...just what was Orion thinking? I can't believe the present he gave LDU by letting them score what could be the decisive away-goal. By the way, Justin and Johnny...I hate Cabañas and I hate Ochoa. They are the reasons why Flamengo is eliminated. Flamengo should have advanced to (at least) the semis. I'm gutted.

I just got off the phone with Cabanas and told him what you said. Justin-I’ll look for that with Ochoa. I just got off the phone with Cabanas and told him what you said.

I kind of begrudge him his success, because a footballer shouldn't be able to get away with being so - if I may be blunt - fat and lazy. But he does. I don't rate Ochoa nearly so high. In fact I think he's the most overrated player in the Americas. Good keeper, sure, but he's just a line keeper, a shot stopper. He does not come for crosses. He also never holds anything.

America looks supremely confident, and why not after their monumental comeback last round. With Cabanas wreaking havoc up front and Ochoa in goal, they might be the team to beat. They were tough in the Sudaamericana as well and though I was rooting for Arsenal, I thought America got a raw deal in the match in Mexico (I was rooting Arsenal on in a bar in Mexico City-that's another story !). Oops-looks like Santos had a goal disallowed for a phantom offside. Anyhow, with the possibility of Federico Insua returning to Boca from America, I hereby officially state my hope that Cabanas could be extracted as well to replace Palacio.:) Probably a long shot.

Flu players getting laser pointers aimed at their faces. This has happened around the world in various games, and is not a very good development. Most laser pointers are harmless from a distance, but there are more powerful ones, commercially available, that can do eye damage.
