América Get Some Much Needed Confidence.
By Mauro | May 16th, 2008Another fantastic performance by Salvador Cabañas in front of a packed house at the Azteca Stadium. Carrying much on their shoulders, América came into this match off a big win that seemed to give them life in the Libertadores again. Not lo ...
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 ...

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 ...

A Look at the Quarter-Finalists.
By Mauro | May 13th, 2008Looking ahead to the quarter-finals, it isn't as one sided as the round of 16 was with respect to the number of Brazilian and Argentine clubs. The balances have shifted slightly and there is only one non-Mexican, non-Argentine and non-Brazilian team ...
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 ...

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 ...
Maracanázo: América Pounds Flamengo.
By Mauro | May 8th, 2008WOW. That's all I have to say about the result in this match today. WOW. Coming into this match, América were down in the dumps. Coming off one of their worst league performances, losing their coach and having to overcome a 4-2 result at home ...

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 ...

Nacional and Sao Paulo, Rough and Tumble.
By Mauro | May 1st, 2008Overall the match was not a match for the casual viewer. Lots of starts and stops due to fouls and rough play. There were a couple of bright spots, like the shot by Pablo Caballero whose shot rebounded off the upper 90 of Rogerio Ceni's goal. And ...
