Salvo Montalbano Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Away goals isn't a thing here. It's a one game shoot out.Don't know if you were saying that because of the nature of this game or not, but there wouldn't have been an "away goals count double in the event of a draw on aggregate" (before any oedant gets in. Hey, it's Pie and Bovril after all) situation even if the game had went ahead at the Monumental as planned. Anyway, some scenes at the end - I think I woke the missus up when the Boca player hit the post at the death there. Ultimate carnage next week when CAS uphold Boca's complaint and both teams (and fans) arrive at the same place for the Club World Cup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently for the final there's no away goals - as of next year it isn't 2 legged, so this is the last time it would (or wouldn't) have made a difference.

I miss South American football being on uk tv When Sky launched in 1989 I think, Screensport channel(RIP) used to show their live games all the time. Those were t'days.

BT had Brazilian football but stopped showing it some time in 2017. I can see Eleven Sports maybe nabbing a few of the rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i'll be paying for it right enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 That must have been an amazing feeling for Martinez at the 3rd goal. Right in front of the Boca fans as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite surreal at times, most of the stadia were decaying shitholes and the football was atrocious, brilliant and violent as f**k all at the same time.

Wouldn't imagine the rights are particularly expensive and the KO times have very little competition with European matches, especially Brazil which runs through the summer months when there's barely any football on TV. You'd think it would be able to pull in as many viewers as MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Don't FreeSport show the Brazilian Serie A? I'm sure I've watched a few games during the summer months. I assume Premier also show it since they're the same company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's that del Bosque gif? That'll make it 7 years minimum since the last South American winner, one South American winner in the last 12, and 3 of the last 6 without a South American finalist. It's also the first West Asian finalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
