The latest is that the final will be played on either December 8 or 9 outside of Argentina, unless the powers that be decide to award the Cup to Boca. Boca has appealed that the Cup be awarded to them in a walkover, due to the River hooligans behavior in attacking the bus. A decision expected by Friday.

Thanks. I think either decision is reasonable but I think playing it outside Argentina is better. 

Now the latest is that if not awarded a walkover Boca will appeal all the way to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.

Hope they get the walkover. That would be the best way to punish the fans. They'd think twice about doing it again. No room for idiots attacking opposing teams in this sport.

Yeah, I agree, and not just as a Boca fan. OTOH thinking that a walkover would have an effect on some of the barra bravas in Argentina is likely wishful thinking. They live for the violence and chaos. The hopeful outcome would be for the clubs to disengage from the bravas, but that is pretty wishful as well.

 

Fan violence in Argentina is a metastasized cancer.

I demand a game of football...if you get your walkover Jellybean I'll search Bangkok high and low until I find you then you will get a proper wedgie mark my words.

 

Si si si!

I think they should hold the second leg at Boca's ground since they showed they can behave.

Just imagine what a great quiz question it would be in 30 years time!

No, no, no !

Here's a quick and accurate analysis of why the football gangs exist in Argentina and ain't going away:

Easier for me to get to Madrid on short notice than Argentina !

 

There are some reasons to like this decision, but it sets a horrible precedent. Moving South America's preeminent club game out of the continent is a negative in nearly every way. OTOH a case can be made that it has been earned, not just by the River Plate hooligans, but by CONMEBOL, and South America's long history of sustaining the gang culture.

Madrid huh?
Interesting.
Won't it be filled with all those River millionaires?
Or are they going to limit sales to Argentinians?

Apparently Jellybean is taking his Boca firm over.

 

By all accounts they are very tasty indeed!

The latest on tickets:

 

5,000 each for Boca and River

20,000 with priority to Argentine residents in Spain

6,000 corporate/courtesy

40,000 for the general public

 

I think the cheapest ticket is around $80euros.

 

 

Yeah I hadn't realized before that there are so many Argentinian residents in Spain. 100000 I hear.

Apparently something lost in translation and River says they'll play. Just unhappy and whinging.

Do you think City should have had a walkover against Liverpool in the Champions League? I have a lot of sympathy with the idea, but there is always the argument that what goes on outside a ground is mostly beyond the control of the clubs. 

Don't get this fascination with an argie game. Surely you're all more interested in today's Barnet vs Stockport County FA Cup game.
