Cleon Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Haha. I beg to differ but cheers .Santos will be the toughest out of the three sides, but having beaten them on both ocassions last season I am confident that we wont have to many issues.

Northernpilgrim Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 So who are the actual champions then? The team that wins the Clausura, the team that tops the calendar year league, or something entirely different? I've never managed in Argentina, but have turned down the opportunity to continue my Brian Clough challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz2k7 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I think buzz2k7 just needs some punctuation for the question to make sense. I think he's asking: Is there a Supercup (something like a Charity Shield or the European Supercup) in Brazil? If there is, and you win the Libertadores, who would be your opponent in the Supercup?

The team that wins the Clausura, the team that tops the calendar year league, or something entirely different? I've never managed in Argentina, but have turned down the opportunity to continue my Brian Clough challenge. Yeah it is confusing. There are two league winners each season. One who wins the Apertura, and one who wins the Clausura. Then at the end of the season the total league points are added together for an overall league to say who has finished where over the course of the season, but that isnt shown in the previous winners section of the league so I dont think a title is actually awarded to whoever finishes top overall in the season. Thank you it didnt sound right in my head either Now if only the rest of the world learned about punctuation He will learn someday . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 SRL88's Career - January & February 2034 - Boca Juniors Clausura A very mixed start to the Clausura......again. Its like after we have a good Apertura we think we can switch off and not care as much in the Clausura. We kicked things off with a 2-2 draw against San Lorenzo, despite comfortably leading 2-0. We easily beat San Martin (SJ) before a pretty annoying draw away to Velez. We dominated the entire game but just couldnt score and they grabbed a late goal to steal a point. It was a similar story against Banfield when we should have battered them but our finishing was off. The following game had nothing to do with poor finishing, but us just being poor in general. I couldnt wait for us to get back on the bus home as the performance was dire. Luckily we restored some confidence with a hard fought win over All Boys. Copa Argentina 6th Round A very nice win over San Martin (T) as we moved into the 7th Round at a canter. As of yet our opponents are unknown because we are the only team to have played our tie.

SRL88 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 SRL88's Career - February 2034 - Brazil Friendly A very comfortable victory and a very pleasing performance. I was made even happier with the performance due to the fact that a lot of players were withdrawn from the squad by their clubs so I had to call up a lot of players who I usually wouldnt give a second look at, or players who I would class as back-ups. They played really well and give me an extra thought with the World Cup coming up very soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeXe Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It's always tough to guage where you stand that early. Two wins and you're back in the pack. But then equally with such a short season the margin for error can be incredibly slight. I think I dropped points in only 4 games with Velez and only won the title by a point in the end.

SRL88 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 SRL88's Career - March 2034 - Boca Juniors Clausura A truely excellent month for us as we bring ourselves right back into contention for the Clausura. We started with a really good 1-0 win over Newell's before a very comfortable win at home to Racing Club. The next two games which followed were tight wins over Belgrano and an excellent Argentinos side. The win over Belgrano, despite a tight 1-0 win was well deserved as we dominated possession. I was delighted with a very good win over Argentinos, especially away from home. A solid win at home to round the month off pull us just a point behind All Boys going into the final few months of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 SRL88's Career - April 2034 - Boca Juniors Clausura Well sadly our hopes of claiming the Clausura are over thanks to two defeats in the month of April. We didnt deserve to be beat in either, esepecially the River Plate game in which we battered them for the whole match without scoring, just for them to score a late goal to steal all three points. In between those defeats we scored a very solid 1-0 win over Lanus before two fantastic performances resulted in two 3-0 wins in a row. Our next game against Independiente was tough. Despite our dominance throughout, they made it really hard for us. Luckily, we scored pretty late on in the game to grab all three points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 April 2034 - Continued Copa Argentina 7th Round Due to a bit of fixture congestion, I was forced to play a lot of youngsters, fringe players and reserves in this game. That didnt matter though because despite falling 1-0 down to the Second Division side we managed to come back and claim a 2-1 win to set up a Quater-Final tie at home to San Lorenzo. Copa Libertadores An excellent finish to the Group Stage for us as we ensured passage by finishing top of the group. We beat Libertad in what was probably the most dominant 1-0 win I have ever seen. Two late goals in our next game ensured that we grabbed a 3-1 win before we beat Santos away from home 1-0 for the second season in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
