The theme saturates. It is worth reaching a conclusion … already. There is too much soccer to enjoy.
The game was suspended (for the third time in a key) and the official announcement did not include the next date, although it was stated that the game will be played.
Sincerely, everything that the CONMEBOL or any South American entity says is to doubt. Nothing is safe; most of the time nothing is serious, even.
The final of Libertadores became a “Superfracaso”.
Who failed?
It’s time to analyze objectively. These days have been as tragic for football, as for sports journalism. If you allow me to define everything in one term: disgusting.
Security failed, the organization failed, common sense failed, society failed and, above all, River Plate failed.
Yes, River Plate.
Not its fans, not the fans who threw objects, no. Everyone. The whole club. And it will be a pleasure to explain why.
The local team is responsible for ensuring safety on and off the field, before, during and after the commitment to dispute. End.
What? Did you think it would be something more complex?
No, the rules are the rules and they have to be respected. That’s why all the tournaments have some. If it is useful, in this tournament you can look for article 8, subsection 2.
The laws are simple. Having said that…
What must happen?
The cup has to be awarded to Boca Juniors, without playing any game. In fact, this must happen as soon as possible.
Prior to criticism and objections, I invite you to think: What has Boca Juniors failed during this final?
I also invite you to select this answer: nothing.
Why, then, should they suffer that the cup is not played or the opponent wins? They did not fail.
The role of CONMEBOL is regrettable. FIFA is even more corrupt, you know. Although there are still possibilities to redeem (or try to do so) in this case.
They just have to be fair.
And give the final to Boca Juniors, although it hurts many.
