It was a great match, very fast paced.

Boca Juniors to tie Independiente for most titles. (Although independiente is 7-0 in finals and Boca 6-4 ) the riBer parking bus it's on its way straight from la segunda división ! 

Says Mou's love-child and Voka's fan, teams that won all of their titles parking the bus and throwing longballs.

League 2 quality at best. Very poor.

That's as stupid as saying the Premier League is Aussie League quality at best. Considering for example that a much worse River team than this one beat Everton in a pre-season cup 2009-2010, or that quite a few of our teams beat and/or gave a hard battle to Brits UCL champions in the Intercontinental Cup/Fifa Club WC several times before the 90's, just like Corinthians for example did to Chelsea not so long ago or how hard it was for Barcelona to beat Estudiantes a couple of years back. If you mean the teams didn't play a entertainment, tiki-taka game then that's also the case for most of the Prem teams that are famous around the world for their hoof-ball, and that would also make them "League 2 quality at best" using your logic.

I thought that was entertaining, i Its clear River plate play the better football but Boca have more quality, This is the first South American game i have watched in years so im just guessing.

Its just a shame that BT Sports will probably only show a one off game because i would watch a lot more of the Copa Libertadores if it was available on TV.

Dont bother with Marc @Berserker. He has never watched a South American match in his life.

I'm confident River Plate would make a top half championship or a bottom half PL side, easily.

They'd give West Ham a game 

Gallardo tends to not give much attention to the league but say in UCL game i'd say we'd beat the whole league except the top four, Arsenal and UTD (and i'm not saying these would be impossible neither). And that's now, if it were the 90's or the start of the 2000s we'd be battling for the title.

Went to watch this one in a pub with a load of friends, some were Argentinians and it was a bloody great atmosphere, especially due to the Argentinians who had every Spanish (and some) vocab mastered for the occasion where mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers +++++ were all remembered (won't say in which way).  It was amazing and I curse the AFA and the CONMEBOL for me not being allowed to attend that game in the flesh and experience what I know the reality of football crowd activity is about.  Honestly... Something has to be done with the violence so that fans from both sides can attend and also foreign people from other continents.

What's the atmosphere like in Buenos Aires @Berserker?

Great, full bars, people screaming like crazy. What annoys me though, is cunts who listen to the game on the radio and make the whole neighbour know there has been a goal before it's shown in TV. ¬¬

Yeah that radio issue is everywhere especially in Spain where radio is very popular... Not so popular here in the UK apart from the real older generations.

I can imagine the atmosphere was amazing as it should be. ;)

I know it's not the Copa Libertadores but up until the start of this season, BT Sport had Brazilian Serie A fairly regularly on Sunday nights. Now they don't have any at all, despite losing the rights to Italian football :(

I'm quite surprised reading some of the comments here as the game was going on. The highlights made it look like a fast paced game that was exciting.i hope to see Cristian Pavon in Europe soon as he looks ready to make an impact.

The viewing figures were probably poor on the Brazillian games, Thats why they wont show more Copa Libertadores games too unfortunately.

Apparently the second leg could be called off for tonight. This is embarrassing. 

What were you honestly expecting from a game with raised stakes like this. If it happened in a round of 16 game 3 years ago, the chances of it happening in the final of the world was pretty high.
