Thought Vélez would fight for the title after their Libertadores performances, but they deceived me.

Are NOB getting relegated? Sad

For those unfamiliar with the River - Boca rivalry, after the success of one or the other in either the league or the superclasico the fans troll each other by printing insulting or funny posters and posting them all over the city. These are some of them.

You can find some of them here: http://www.porsiempreboca.com.ar/afiches.htm

One of the popular themes foreigners might not understand is parenthood. In Argentina if a team is superior to another then the superior team has the inferior one as "his son/tenerlo de hijo". As such by claiming parenthood over the other they're claiming superiority.

Hilarious posters though, must be hard for you to look at, no?

I cannot express my happiness to know that Boca will be back at the Libertadores. The competition is not as fun without them. Not because I like the team that much, but they add both quality and tradition to the Copa.

How are River doing? When does the fight to come back up start, or has it already started? I want to see them back at the Copa as well!

River are currently 2nd place in the Nacional B. If all goes according to plan we should be back in Primera this time next year. The team is plagued by an awful defense, but there have been highlights, such as Ocampos' performances. We're also in the run for the 3rd ever Copa Argentina, of which I don't think we have yet to play a game.

I know River are on 2nd of the B'. They'll be back. 2 games left.

I wonder what it's like to fall for a reporter, or vice versa.

Well if you look for Cecilia Bonelli in google images you'll find out she's also a pretty hot model lol, so not that far off from what most footballers have.
