In a game that reflected the poor form of both clubs, River Plate toppled Boca Juniors 1-0 in El Monumental before a raucous sell-out crowd, who set the tone for the match by unveiling a massive flag in support of River. From the outset, River was the stronger team with 18 year old playmaker Erik Lamela acting as the star of the show. When he was just 12, Barcelona tried to steal El Coco right ...

WORLD CUP: PREVIEW ARGENTINA
Posted on 7 Jun 2010 by The Gator Great.
HOW THEY GOT THERE: Argentina made its way to South Africa in a most unusual way…well unusual for them at least.
