    They play today at 5 PM. I dont see it listed on any of the usual channels but if you can stream it I would recommend watching it. This is one of the best rivalries in the world (#2 in my book). Unfortunately both of the teams have not been doing great recently but that will not take away from the spectacle that you will witness. The atmosphere for this game is second to none, in fact a study done by an independent company revealed that this game was the best sporting event in the world (pretty sure it was only yearly events) ahead of the Super Bowl and other more "famous" events.

    One of the great rivalries, but each team is nowhere near as good as they used to be, River Plate is 12th and Boca is 15th currently in the Apertura standings with just a few games left (I don't like the Apertura and Clasura set up).

    Yes Riquelme should play. The talent that has played in this game is insane:

    Batistuta, Maradona, Crespo, Francescoli, Riquelme, etc.

    I also hate the Apertura and Clausura set up.

    I have never heard a reasonable argument to why this set up is good, especially when the champs of each season don't play each other in a true championship game.

    It's terrible. There are rumors that Mexico is going to get rid of it and expand to 20 teams. If it works out, I would expect Argentina to do the same.

    Loving the atmosphere at the stadium. The Argentine crowds always have the best songs.

    River won 1-0 if anybody cares and I agree that the Argentine barra bravas have the best songs by far I mean when a whole continent uses the same songs it says something even if they hate you.
