Exciting match so far.
I'm hoping for a good second half to ease my drunkeness.

What is the name of the Fluminense player that smashed it wide at the end of the half. Something Junior?
Did you check out those fans with the yellow masks ?
Scary shit.
Scary shit.
2 great saves from the Fluminense keeper there. The quality football continues. A United v Boca final in December would be wicked.
Agree with original post. I've caught a few matches, and the tournament's showcased some quality attacking football from what I've seen. Caught Boca twice in particular. They were fantastic to watch, Riquelme in particular. Brilliant footballer he is. Every touch is clever. Shame if he doesn't return to Europe before the twilight of his career.
Nice goal, free kick from Riquelme. Took a deflection though.
fecking fantastic free kick from Riquelme, the boy is pure quality.
2-1 Boca.
Edit: didn't notice the deflection, stream is shite quality.

Can't believe he got booked for protesting when the wall was 5 yards away.
That's South American refs for you.
2-2 nice goal Neves, keeper was poor though.
Thiago Neves with a weak goal for Fluminense, but they have had their fair amount of chances.
Decent goal from Neves.
I thought he did well to get his shot in.
If Boca go out they can only blame themselves, zero marking on the first goal, poor keeping on the second. They did draw at home in the last round and won 3-0 away.
feck that was nearly 3 for Boca.
Are they South America's equivalent of Keegan's Newcastle ?
He did well with the turn and shot but you'd expect the keeper to save it, so it's weak imo.
Boca have been the better of the two sides from what I've seen but Fluminense have had good chances as well. Exiting match.
Good match. Has squandered time for me, which is what I wanted.
I was conflicted as to who to support, though. I have family in Buenos Aires, so I like Boca, but at the same time United have a link with Fluminense, so I like them too.

2-2 FT
The pace of the game was electric from start to finish. I don't think I've enjoyed a game as much since, well, since last Wednesday. Yet another cracking match thrown up by this tournament, fast open football. Riquelme is a fabulous footballer, pure joy to watch. I think Boca will do the business in the second leg but they must defend better.

Good match. There is some pretty good football played in this tournament.
at least he didn't give three yellow cards to the same player during a world cup game, but i guess you have to be european to do that
1-0 Boca.
3-2 agg Semi-final second leg.
Very good game so far. About 35 mins left.

Holy shit, Boca can't defend for shit.
Same as the first leg they just can't keep a lead.

Fluminese through to the final
I was really hoping for a United v Boca final in December, but on reflection I think we'd embarrass them their defence is so shite.
3-1 winners in the end, all the goals in the second half.
5-3 on aggregate, any team that concedes 5 goals over 2 legs don't deserve to be in the final of their continent's major club competition.
I was looking forward to taking the piss out of you.don't worry, you can take the cum out of me
HA!
Urm marcos... thats gay
Great news that we will probably be facing the team we bought Fabio and Rafael Silva from in teh final in Japan.
Not only did the victory mean the elimination of the 2007 Libertadores champion, but also the first Brazilian win over the Argentinean club in 45 years in the competition.
Fluminense will face Ecuador's LDU Quito in two finals matches, on June 25, in Quito, and on July 2, in Rio.
