By Ian Rose | April 29th, 2008No, film buffs ... we will not be talking about the drag documentary, but Paris St. Germain is a main topic of discussion this week, as Ligue 1 faces the very real possibility of losing its only Parisian club, and its fans go a little insane. Inara ...
Players To Watch In The Next Round.
By Mauro | April 28th, 2008I figured it would be best to start from the top of the fixture list I published late last week. Corporación Deportiva Atlético Nacional vs. Fluminense Football Club (Estadio Atanasio Girardot, Medellin, Colombia) Atlético Nacional have, ...

River Plate Demolish San Martin.
By Mauro | April 18th, 2008Instead of walking into this match thinking about the 2-0 loss in their opening match against tonight's opponents, River came out onto the pitch with a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They were on their home field and they were not going to be d ...

7 Goal Stunner at Azteca Stadium.
By Mauro | April 3rd, 2008AMERICA (MEX) 4 Vs RIVER (ARG) 3Uploaded by GolesyFutbol Playing at the Azteca stadium is not easy to begin with, the pollution and the high altitude, not to mention the long flight. But this was actually a decent match. I was expecting a boring s ...

By Daryl | April 3rd, 2008

Update from last night's matches 03/26/08.
By Mauro | March 27th, 2008LDU Quito vs. Arsenal de Sarandi (Quito, Ecuador) Arsenal started off their visit well going up 1-0 on a goal from Leguizamon but then fell apart like they did against Fluminense a few weeks ago. Damian Manso (ex-Newells) played a great match wh ...
Copa Libertadores, update from last night's matches...
By Mauro | March 26th, 2008San Lorenzo vs. Bamin Real Potosi (Buenos Aires, Argentina) Last night, San Lorenzo hosted Bamin Real Potosi and won on a dodgy penalty call. In my opinion, there was contact on the foul, but it's negligible as to whether or not it gets a call f ...

Newell's-River - first thoughts.
By Jeremy | February 17th, 2008Well that stunk. 0-0. After watching the game, I really feel that Newell's dropped two points. With the way River played, they are probably thinking they picked up a point. Nice save by Carrizo on Schiavi's header that was probably the difference in a
Newell's - River preview
By Jeremy | February 17th, 2008This is a little taste of what is waiting River this Sunday at the Coloso. It looks like Newell's will be making two changes from the line-up that defeated San Lorenzo in last week's opener. Diego Scotti gets his first start in place of Matias Donne

Olimpo 4 - 0 River Plate
By Christian | December 3rd, 2007Before I got to the debacle that is River, let me first extend my congratulations to Lanús, who over the weekend won their first ever league title after drawing 1-1 away to Boca at La Bombonera. El Granate needed only a point to guarantee that they would
How Come I Didn't Know That Cris Has a Twin?
By Inara | November 15th, 2007I realize that I can't expect to know everything about my beloved Lyon players (though it's not for a lack of trying). But you would think that Cris having a twin would be interesting enough news to catch the radar of an avid fan. I mean, I once spent two

Argentina 3 - 1 Brazil
By Bruno Romani | September 20th, 2007Copa Sulamericana is generally a tournament ignored by Brazilian clubs, but tonight this cup, created just to keep continental action alive, made me wonder about the quality of the Campeonato Brasileiro. In the four matches involving Brazilians and Argent
Lyon 3 - 1 River Plate
By Inara | July 19th, 2007!!!!!!!!!!! That was the best Lyon game I've seen in a long time. And to think it was only a friendly! River Plate only needed a draw to go through while Lyon not only needed to win, but in the event that Reading won their match against Shimizu S-P
