Copa Sudamericana: Boca champs!!

Today was the finals for the Copa Sudamericana 2005, which is basically a tournament like the World Cup but between teams from Central and South America. Boca vs. Pumas.
I'm so happy Boca won! The game finished 1-1 and we won in penalties. 2005 has been a great year for Boca. 5 days before, we won the cup in the Argentinian league. This is a great Christmas present for me and all the Boca fans out there. :xmas:

Yay! I'm also a Boca "fan". Hey Emiliano, do you know why they call "gallinas" to the guys of River Plate? I've always wanted to know.

I always knew Boca would win. Pumas suck.

Glad to know you like Boca (Y)

They call River "gallinas" because back in the 1960's, River lost a final against Penarol 4-2. During the game they were winning 2-0 and they lost the game. That also marked 18 straight years of River not winning any championships. That's why we call them "chickens" or "gallinas". :cool:
