I wish I could have been a fly on the wall during these talks, as all the fifa and conmebol executives were vehemently against playing at a neutral ground until someone suggested there could be a money spinning opportunity in the Middle East.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

give it a few more hours and they'll decide that the first leg should be invalidated since it wasn't also at a neutral ground and they'll host the new first leg in UAE and the second leg in Qatar

I think you'll find the stands filled with loyal Boca and River fans, intermingling with each other in brotherhood and a shared enjoyment of the game. If they don't, they can kiss their Indian passports goodbye.

Invalidade both legs, suspend River for a century and let Gremio thru. It's only fair.

Che storia figata, ragazzo!



The leader of the River ultras was arrested before the match, he had a bunch of money from ticket scalping and the 300 tickets reserved for the ultras, the cops seized everything so the ultras had no tickets to enter the match.

The rumor is that he threatened that if they couldn't go to the match there would be no match, so the attack on the bus was planned with intent to stop the match from happening. No idea how true any of this is but that's a conspiracy theory going around.

The city of Genova is offering to host the game at the stadium of Genoa and Sampdoria:

(in Italian): https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Estero/26-11-2018/superclasico-genova-river-boca-310747833990.shtml

Would be cool but I have a feeling if the game is played at all, and does go out of South America, it'll definitely be in some Arabian shithole.

e: And the Ferraris is only 35k or so seats...

So apparently they don’t know what they’re doing with this until they figure out whether to disqualify River Plate. This is all such an incredible clusterfuck.
