...and after 7 months they meet: Boca - River tonight !!

7 months ago River suffered their biggest humilliation ever, getting relegated to 2nd division for the first time in over 100 years of history.

When they thought they couldn't go lower, their all time rival Boca easily won the 1st division Apertura 2011 !

There have been discussions about these two derbies (the next one will be played next Sunday) for months. Unbelievable but true, months of talking about a couple of friendlies, and today one of the mayor sports channel (Fox Sports) will have a special coverage starting 6 hours before the game !!!

All pressure is on River as they have to prove that they are in 2nd division but not dead, and what better opportunity than to win a Super Clasico against the 1st division champion ?

They've built up a pretty good team and in the offseason they've added a new star to play with Alejandro "Chori" Dominguez and Fernando Cavenagui in attack, as 1998 World Cup champion David Trezeguet returned to play in Argentina after 15 years in Europe, and to do it in he club he's been a fan since he was a little kid.

His debut couldn't have been better: he played only 20 minutes in a friendly vs Racing, scoring the winning goal of a 2-1.

Boca definitely doesn't want to lose one either, but they will have some problems to put a decent starting lineup, especially offensively because midfielders Rivero, Ervitti, playmaker Riquelme and striker Dario Cvitanich are all out due to injuries/suspensions (yes, we have suspensions in friendlies) and new striker Santiago Silva (added from Fiorentina where he played very little the last 6 months) is still not ready to play for his new team.

River seems to be in better mood and more focused for this very expected Super Clasico, but they can't relax against the current Argentinean champion.

For the first time ever the derby will be played at Chaco, a province all the way up to the north of Argentina and tickets are of course sold out since long ago.
