Sunday we went to the biggest futbol game of the year. This time we decided to sit on the side of the stadium with all of the houligans. Being the biggest game of the year, there was was much more chaos during the whole length of the game including thousands of balloons floating around the stands and a constant flow of confetti across the field as the game contiued on.Game Start Cheering. Soccer in South America is the only event I have ever seen where the home team fans explode into chanting and cheers at the very possibility of a player on the opposing team being hurt, and they continue to cheer as the injured player is carried off the field in the first aid cart. Again, at the end of the game we were forced to stay inside until the opposing team had cleared the stadium (and part of the city). Since they held us in the stadium for 45 minutes, with a baracade of 16 police (two rows of eight) officers in each portal to the stands, I assumed they are just giving the opposing team enough time to hail cabs and fill the busses, uncontested.
River Plate ended up beating Boca 2-0 in a big upset. Click here to see the highlights from the game.
Did you have a favorite team? How long does the season go….all year?? Is it hard to get tickets…..how big is the stadium?

hola zach, soy christian(luchoweber) soy de palermo, el verdulero , el del charango, el loco que te recomendo ir a bolivia. Bueno lo que te sucedio con boca y river es normal en el futbol argentino, cuando un equipo pierde lo hacen salir primero para que el ganador se retire tranquilo (siempre y cuando sea local) cuando es visitante, es al reves salimos corriendo por que los hinchas locales nos sacan a piedrasos. La mistica de la hinchada argentina, es comun los canticos hacia el adversario, si pudiste observar bien y escuchar se contestaban las hinchadas mediante canticos insultantes recordando lo pasado, entre ambos equipos durante los clasicos, por que hace mas de 2 años boca no le gana a river y esto en nuestro ambito significa que los tenemos de hijo a los de boca (bosteros).

DICCIONARIO:
BOSTEROS: nombre despectivo hacia los hinchas de boca, este nombre deviene por que antes de la remodelacion de la bombonera, parte de la cloaca del club pasaba por el sanjon que divide la cancha de las tribunas y los visitantes , se sentia un olor a mierda terrible, jajajaja.
HINCHAS: hooligangs
