What was the significance of the game? Boca supporters in the stands were crying like it was the Super Bowl, or something even more important.
Hope you're still drunk!
Estudiantes and Boca finished on equal points after the last round, so they had a single playoff game to decide the championship.
Obivously (?) Gaucho is a River fan, so I don't think he is very sorry.
So, do River fans despise Maradona (I despise him for a number of other reasons) or is he a national icon that goes beyond local rivalries? There were no shots of him in the crowd yesterday, but I enjoyed seeing him cry last Sunday.
