Niko why would you enter a friendly cup half way through the season, exactly...?

mid season break? League suspended whilst Copa Americas is on? Money making exercise?

Because the argentian league is split in half or something weird like that. So they have curently finnished half of their season, they now have a break over the summer, thats why they can enter this tournament

brendywendy first game of preseason

im surprised we have had any chances whatsoever

They havent even finnished their season, they are only half way through it

I thought it had just finished.

Doyler The purpose of this tour is purely to give some fringe players a chance to stake a claim for the first team when the season starts. 12th August will be the time to judge the team not now.

No one is judging.
You called them poor that's making a judgement. I was reffering to you, no one else.

Just for you Doyler...

Reading are not playing very well if you compare them to the opponents that they are playing against!

How's that!!??

Gee whizz.

Are you judging? Insinuating that this is poor? You cant do that!!

It's pre-season.

As long as Coppell is learning stuff about life post-Sidwell I'm happy.

0-1 against River Plate is pretty good tbf.

Well, the league is split into two, so there might be confusion over that. Except that the Clausura has also finished.

San Lorenzo won it.

River came 4th.

Still a judgement though isn't it? Go and get a stiff drink or something, you sound stressed.

That whistle is not FIFA regulation, I would like to see this ref banned.

Ref blows up!

Game Over - Better 2nd half - but not much else to report really. Players looked shattered. Shorey / Fed / Bikey the players worth mentioning of promising note.

Maguire · by **Maguire** » 13 Jul 2007 13:55

Scuttled by the Argies.
