River Plate vs Belgrano promotion play off.

That must be the most obvious penalty decision I have ever seen not be given.

Argentines play rough.

River are fucked. 1-1.

River penalty and Pavone's shot is saved. Cruel.

wow this shit is fucked..

Wonder what are the chances Erik Lamela leaves River

Just before ET the crowd trouble begins. Hose them down.

Half the river fans are crying and the other half are smashing up the stadium.

Crazy Argies

Players crying, fans crying, crowd trouble. The game isn't even finished yet. Bye bye River.

Fucking hell you'll come up next year. Havent seen people hosed down like this since Alabama in the 60s

Villalva on the cheap.

River are relegated for the first time in 110 years. Players can't even leave the pitch yet. The fans would probably murder them.

Don't you have to be really, really, really, bad over like 3 seasons (Apertua, Clasura, Apertua) to be relegated in Argentina?

Yeah, and they have been really bad. They finished 8th in the Clausura that just ended, but their positions before that were near the bottom of the table.

How long will it take them to get up?

And didn't Pavone just go back to Argentina?

Should have stayed with Betis.

Guys on Twitter say the earliest is a year.

The goal they gave up

The penalty kick

Adios River. Next time they'll be up my copy of the bilzzard will come through in the mail.

That was an exiting end off the pitch.

Belgrano team getting hit by missiles, the police water cannoning the River fans who are going mental whilst the Belgrano fans celebrate their promotion at the expense of River Plate.

In club size terms I'll say it's the equivalent of Celtic or Rangers getting relegated from the SPL.

God knows how that River team are going to get out alive. Maybe they'll hire a helicopter to get them away from Buenos Aires for a while.

Dibs on Lamela

Se fue se fue, River se fue a la B.

Link to an Argentine tv station following the fallout.

Now I hope they put the Argentine League on FIFA, just to annoy that S.O.B River fan that was a cunt on the old EA forum..

Damn.

Anyway... this is a riot, ridiculous.

They're only in it because the Argentine League isn't in the game..

Whomever the commentators are are correct, this has gone beyond football, it's so sad... only in South America... What baseless violence.

Definitely not only in SA, ever seen a Dinamo Zagreb v Hajduk Split fracas?

It's pretty clear that the River Plate fans have gone insane.

Lots of reports of riots and fires around Buenos Aires with 25 people seriously injured in hospital.

In a way, I'm sad for River Plate descending, not that I"m a fan. However rules are rules and they have no special expectations. SO bottom line it's their fault.






They'll be back.
