I am going to the River Plate game Sunday night! Boca didn't have a game. Very excited......nice knowin' you guys!
Yes Argentina is def a deeper, better, richer league (The Money is the biggest part that seperates MLS and getting the talent) Valeri was playing in that league last year.
I just cancelled cable last week so I missed out on Madrid's near comeback. It sounds like they were getting pretty close to going up 3-0 (and therefore advancing). For some reason I still get some channels just through the wall connection and the Barca game is on Fx, so I'll probably watch. Busquets and Abidal are out, so I'm guessing that means we get to see what Song would have brought last week. I'm hoping they get al least 2 goals back to make the final score more respectable. I'm not holding my breath on that though.
0-3. Though its more competitive. 0-3 at home (or worse, there is still 13 minutes) is worse than 0-4 in Munich. It's going to be an interesting summer in Barcelona. Oh, and Gus Johnson regressed this game. I haven't been paying attention since about 25 minutes in, but in the beginning he kept messing up the players and just saying filler because he had no clue what to talk about. I still have hope he'll be ready for the world cup in 5 years.
