Advantage: LDU Quito.
By Mauro | May 16th, 2008I expected San Lorenzo to come out and defend their ground, especially with their stadium filled to the brim. Not that they didn't try. But they were faced with a very well organized LDU Quito squad. One that defended with it's midfielders as wel ...

By Daryl | May 16th, 2008[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVkHbnFi2vY[/youtube] Agustin Orion tried to get fancy last night. And it did not go well. The San Lorenzo keeper can probably do hundreds of keepy-uppies in his garden at home, but in the Copa Libertadores ...

By Albert | May 16th, 2008Salvador Cabañas is the man! With 2 goals and cohesive defense and team play, America takes a 2-0 advantage in the 1st leg of their series with Santos of Brazil. This can be considered semi-verification that their passing Flamengo was not a fluke. ...

On a Mission
By Alan | May 15th, 2008I saved off writing a post about Atlas' elimination from the domestic tournament until Atlas had played their first game against Boca Juniors because I didn't want to write bad news. The good thing is that Atlas gave me some good news to write ab ...
Boca Lets it Slip Away.
By Mauro | May 15th, 2008Boca hosted Atlas last night at Vélez Sarsfield's stadium last night. In my preview of this match, I covered their previous meetings and their respective records coming into this match. Since this one was for all the marbles, I think Atlas reall ...
Checkmate São Paulo.
By Mauro | May 15th, 2008Again, São Paulo won on the very good, shit, I'd even venture to say, spectacular work by Adriano. Last night, the guy that Inter Milan picked up from Parma and the same guy that drew Brazil level in the final of the Copa America in 2005 against ...
Adriano Plays His Best Match in Brazil and Carries SP in the Copa Libertadores

Santos, Unquestionably the Better Team.
By Mauro | May 9th, 2008Having to follow up the River Plate-San Lorenzo match was tough work for these two and if anything you'd think it would have energized Cúcuta more since they were coming home after having faced an adverse result at Vila Belmiro a week ago. S ...
San Lorenzo, Create a Miracle, Qualify For the Quarters.
By Mauro | May 9th, 2008This was an amazing match. It had it all. Great back and forth play, moments where one team dominated completely, plenty of fouls, a few red cards, there were goals and goddamit there were broken hearts. The stage was set, River Plate had the ...
River OUT of Copa Libertadores: Shame Tonight At The Monumental
By Christian | May 8th, 2008I am in such a state of shock right now that I still can't believe it: River Plate were up 2-0 with a 2 man advantage over San Lorenzo, yet shockingly conceded 2 goals in the 2nd half, thus going out of this years Copa Libertadores 4-3 on aggregate. ...

Sao Paulo Advance, Still in Debt to Their Fans.
By Mauro | May 8th, 2008Without playing very well again, Sao Paulo was able to defend their home round with what on a scoresheet would have been a respectable win but in all actuality it was a close one. After drawing 0-0 in the first leg, it seemed Nacional had a sligh ...

By Mauro | May 8th, 2008The clash of what could have easily been the final match has come to a close. In the first leg, Boca defended their home ground with authority in a dominating 2-1 win that (could have been 6-1 really) ended on a bit of a down note since Cruzeiro ...
Maracanazo! What a night for America
By Albert | May 8th, 2008All hope was lost. Ruben Omar Romano was fired after the loss in Azteca to Flamengo. The new Coach, Antonio Luna, said that it would be a dream/fantasy to think they would pass against Flamengo in the 2nd leg in Brazil. No one believed America co ...

Atlético Nacional on a Long Flight Home.
By Mauro | May 7th, 2008Ok, so it didn't end up being quite the bloodletting I expected or quite the one-sided affair I had thought either. Fluminense, however, continues to be the most effective team of the tournament. Atlético gets to wallow in their sorrows at least ...
