Schiappacasse was detained by Uruguayan police after trying to bring a firearm to the derby against Nacional.

Nothing on the regular boob tube, so will kinda watch Aldosivi vs River Plate for a while. Later will switch to Atletico Mineiro vs Corinthians match.

Damn man. You're addicted to the football. Are you watching games being high or intoxicated?

As for me there are times that I even force myself to watch Inter games.

Neither, it's way to hot to be drinking, as for getting "high" heaven forbid, I'd be doing "housework" to really cleanup .

It was interesting seeing Willian and Hulk play, completely forgot about them.

Not sure I can arse myself into Argentine league football but I definitely don't mind watching some Brazilian games. I was busy today but did kinda/sorta watch that ATM/Corinthians game. Saw Palmeiras/Internacional before that...I have an internet friend from Porto Alegre, big Gremio fan, and I've always wondered if, between him supporting Gremio and me supporting the famous Inter team, if that means I should support Internacional as well, but I've never felt any attachment watching their games, so I guess it doesn't seem to be.

Honestly, speaking only for myself, it's really quite easy to watch football leagues where I don't have a real vested interest in who wins. It's watching Serie A that makes me often times want to stab myself with hot knives because there's always something I'm rooting for to happen. Regardless of what's happening in Italy, I can watch English and Spanish games and feel perfectly at ease.

I don't believe you.

 

[Ethor]

I don't believe you.

The heat and humidity are tough right now, and when I drink, I smoke my pipe as well so have to cut back until Fridays for the most part. That will change once Inter starts playing for real, then the drinking, smoking and swearing increase exponentially despite the weather.

C'mon over and we can discuss politics then we both can complain, to lighten the mood we then can discuss Inter's management strategies. Just give me 2hrs notice so I can run to the liquor store cause we will need a lot. Forza Inter!

About 1/3 of the way through the current Brazilian campaign, and last year's Copa Libertadores winners Fluminense are sitting in an increasingly-distant last place, only 1 win in their first 13 games (3 draws, 9 defeats) for a total of six points, already sacked their manager after last week's derby defeat against Flamengo...today they lost away to Grêmio (in their home away from home as neither they nor Internacional are able to play in their stadiums in Porto Alegre after last month's torrential rainstorms) in what was simultaneously a shocking 19th vs. 20th place game but also a preview of their Libertadores R16 meeting in August.

The relegation zone is hilarious right now. Fluminense, Grêmio, and Corinthians all currently taking up spots with Vasco not that far above them. Grêmio has a couple games in hand so those could help lift them out of danger with no other help required, but those are three of Brazil's biggest clubs and following the relegation of Santos a year ago for the first time in their entire history.

Towards the top of the table, City Group-bolstered Bahia is doing much better than a year ago (don't ask me to explain how or why), but it looks like the current day duo of Flamengo and Palmeiras are the most likely teams to fight it out for the title again this season. Palmeiras have won the last two Brasileirão titles, Flamengo won the two preceding that, both still alive in Libertadores as well and potentially on a collision course to meet in the semifinals (Flamengo have the easier road of the two). Overall, seven Brazilian teams in the Libertadores R16, four of them in direct clashes with each other (Grêmio/Fluminense, Botafogo/Palmeiras, 1st and 2nd legs in those orders).

I might respond a little more frequently with updates, I've taken to watching a lot of Brazilian football this year, even more than in the past.

Im still interested in Argentine Football clubs being able to have owners now, Hope Newells gets a good one.

 

[crzdcolombian]

Fluminense and a lot of teams have lost starters since they are at Copa America. Jhon Arias who starts for Colombia has been with Colombia for over a month. Looking at the rest of their roster. Odd the Brazil league is happening since all the others are on vacation

Does anyone know a reliable site to buy tickets for River Plate/Boca Juniors matches? I am currently looking at sites that only offer a package or individual tickets for 200 euros, that seems a bit much to me. I am willing to pay a bit more and be sure that I will not get ripped off, but 200 euros for a random match of 1 of these 2 clubs does not seem normal to me.
