Yeah they have had a couple of second or third place finishes, but generally they finish between 7th and their lowest position of 13th. Roman actually left the club in 2029 so hasnt been around for 3 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 SRL88's Career - August 2033 - Boca Juniors Apertura A very nice start to the season for us. We kicked off our campaign with a solid win over San Lorenzo. This was followed up with a fantastic performance and result away to San Martin. I was annoyed that we conceded a goal though when we were 4-0 up. I hate conceding goals more than anything. Next up we destroyed Velez at home with Galvan running them ragged upfront and causing them problems all game long. Going into the game against Banfield both of our goalkeepers were out injured so we had to rely on our reserve goalkeeper. In what was a very keenly contested tie we managed to grab a very solid point with a 1-1 draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 SRL88's Career - September 2033 - Brazil World Cup Qualifers Another two wins as we continue our great form up as we get ever nearer to the World Cup. Like in previous games, I made a lot of changes to the squad and the starting line-up just so I can test out other players in competitive games to see if it makes any difference to their mindset. We had to rely on a late goal against Colombia before we played Chile off the park. It took my former Liverpool player Celio to grab two goals in the second half to seal the game after we were level at 1-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You qualified for the Libertadores this season through being holders right? Cheers fella . I was chuffed with how we performed in the Knockout Stage considering we stuttered our way through the group. We are in the Libertadores this season yeah, but we are also in the Sudamericana as well which confused me because they are both continental competitions. Anyway, I PM'd PMLF who is the Brazilian Researcher and this is what he said: There are two tables in Argentina:A Libertadores table, which is based on a year, not season (ex: 2012)A Sudamericana table, which is based on the season (ex: 2011-12)In Argentina clubs can play both competitions in same year although this is changing now in real life.[/Code]Two trophies in your first season, well done!The league's looking a lot closer than I thought it would be; I suppose that's one of the benefits of a 19 game competition, any half decent has a chance! Cheers AK . I was surprised last season with the fact that we went unbeaten all the way through the Apertura but yet we werent exactly a mile infront of anyone, but as you say, all you need is a decent 19 games and loads of teams stand a chance of claiming either league.Congrats on winning Libertadores after that start to the group of death. Started pretty well this year in the league. Good luck in the World Cup with Brazil and the World Club Cup in December!Cheers .I am really, really looking forward to the World Cup with Brazil, and I am hoping that even if we dont have a great tournament that I wont get sacked because I would like to take the side into the Copa America as well and introduce some younger players into the squad after the World Cup.

Regarding my plans, I have loaded up all the leagues from Uruguay & Chile, as well as already having the leagues loaded up from Brazil, USA and Mexico so I have it half planned in my head that I would like a good decade or so on the America's.

SRL88 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 SRL88's Career - September 2033 - Boca Juniors Apertura A rather mixed month in truth. The game against All Boys was a typical case of just wanting the game to be over with as quickly as possible. We were very poor and I found the game hard to watch. We did bounce back nicely with a good win over Union before a trip to Racing Club. This was a game where we just couldnt score despite chance after chance. We should have trounced them but the ball just wouldnt go in the back of the net. There was a mixture of ill-fortune and poor finishing. We rounded off September with a very nice win over Newell's at home. Copa Sudamericana Second Preliminary Round Two very hard fought games against a good Banfield side. We won the first leg thanks to a wonder goal from our right back Sinkovec very late on in the game. I knew Banfield would be up for the second leg and they were. They took the lead in the game but we hit them excelently on the counter and managed to grab an equiliser. Despite chances at both ends the score remained at 1-1 and we managed to move into the next round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat our biggest rivals 2-1 at home with Celio running the show. Against Uruguay we conceded a penalty early on and despite our complete dominance we just couldnt score. We were limited to shots from distance but when we finally did get through their back line we just blazed our shots over. The 1-0 loss was our first defeat for over 2 years.

SRL88 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 SRL88's Career - October 2033 - Boca Juniors Apertura A truely excellent month for us as we go level on points with All Boys at the top of the table. We started with a win over Argentinos who were top of the table at that point. It was a very hard fought game but the win was more important than the performance. We followed this up with an excellent away day performance to grab a 2-0 win. We nearly made a hash of things in our next two games, falling behind in each game but managing to come from behind to grab the win. The month was rounded off with a 1-0 win away to Ferro. Copa Sudamericana First Round Two excellent performances which resulted in two fantastic wins. Galvan was the star of the show with a hat-trick in each game but to put 10 goals past a team over two legs was a very pleasing thing to watch. This set up a tie against Newell's in the Quater-Final.

They scored a second in the second half and that turned out to be the winner despite numerous chances. Things were much better against Northern Ireland.

SRL88 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 SRL88's Career - November 2033 - Boca Juniors Apertura Three wins in the month leave us a point behind the leaders All Boys but we have an essential game in hand which I feel will decide where the title goes. Two thumping wins over Lanus and River Plate were followed by a very hard fought win over Independiente. It took a goal in injury time to give us all three points, and a goal I jumped so high that my laptop nearly fell on the floor. Copa Sudamericana Quater-Final, Semi-Final and Final 1st Leg A brilliant run of results as we made our way to the Final, but also on the brink of claiming our first trophy of the season. We were given very tough games against both Newell's and Union, but we managed to show our class to get us through the Final. That drew us against Brazilian side Santa Cruz and with the first leg being away from home, and our current winning streak I was confident of getting a result and we did just that. A brilliant performance and an excellent result put us in a commanding position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
