By: Christian | 2 Comments
It may not have been the most convincing of wins, but we’ll certainly take it, as River Plate finally got their first win of the season at home to Estudiantes, winning 4-2 in an entertaining, if not technically brilliant match. A draw seemed inevitable after a late goal by Estudiantes in the 81st minute to [...]
San MartÃn 1 – 0 River Plate

Sorry it took so long to post, but I still haven’t gotten over the shock, not to mention the embarassment. In what was one of the most pathetic displays of football I’ve seen in some time, River went down 1-0 to newly promoted San MartÃn yesterday, showing no imagination, no ideas, no fútbol.

As a non-Argentine who follows football in Argentina, I have to say that the figure of Diego Maradona is fascinating, even as a River fan whose never done blow Al Pacino-style. On one hand, he’s a fat, coke-binging adulterer, and even worse, a bostero, which is odd in itself considering he played more time with [...]

River Plate finally began their Apertura campaign yesterday, squeezing out a a 1-1 draw away at San Lorenzo. River played poorly in the first half, looking like a team that, well, hasn’t played in months, but the second half was a different story, as “El Burrito” Ortega gave los millonarios the equalizer in the 57th [...]
