River Plate go down

13 years 11 months ago

One of South America's most famous football clubs, River Plate, was relegated from Argentina's top division Sunday for the first time in its 110-year history, sparking riots among supporters.
Based in the affluent Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires, the "millionaires" are the country's most successful team, having won a record 33 league titles. Their rivalry with the Boca Juniors club across the city is among the most intense in world football.

But in recent years a huge debt has forced the club to sell off its top players, while their current president, the former World Cup-winning captain Daniel Passarella, has endured calls for his resignation amid claims of mismanagement.

Very sad:(

I read that an Arsenal fan has put up one of their players, Denilson, up for sale on E- Bay. Denilson has made it clear that he wants to leave but nobody wants him.
