Cover of El Clarin, August 14, 2008

I was so excited to go on El Clarin online and look for the cover. I barely even found the news of Argentina's victory over Serbia. See if you can find it.

The big news is the victory of Boca Juniors and Martin Palermo having a hand at it. Palermo is the big picture in the middle. "Boca y Palermo una noche de triunfo y record" (Boca and Palermo a night of triumph and record)

It's on the Bottom left

Relive Argentina 2-0 Serbia. I'm a fan of Serb goalkeeper and captain Vladimir Stojkovic. He was superb from minute 70 to 80. Saved 2 penalties in a row. They were not well taken by Benfica's Angel Di Maria. Acosta then came face to face with Stojkovic yet wasn't able to finish and hit it wide. Then, Stojkovic saved a half-volley by Buonanotte. Then, after keeping Serbia in the game when it was Argentina 1-0 Serbia, comes Buonanotte's free kick in the 81st minute and it's over for Serbia.

Stojkovic is currently at my favorite Portuguese club, Sporting CP. He does have an attitude of superiority. Sporting coach Paolo Bento told him to look for another club. He's still looking. This game was to show himself and get a good club.

Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero also showed why he's a substitute. Spilled the ball twice. Once from a corner kick. He's part of the team that won the Under-20 World Cup in Canada in 2007. With that title I wonder why he's not in the starting 11 too.

Argentina is qualified to the quarterfinals from Group A. He'll rest 2 important players, Riquelme and Sergio "El Kun Aguero."

Argentina Olympic Coach Batista said

"Riquelme and Aguero are two important players. This thing about the yellow cards is complicated and that's why, they will rest so they can play in the quarter-final."



Bastista, however did not say who will play in their place. Argentinean daily newspaper "El Clarin" says online that it might be Diego Buonanotte in place of Riquelme and Angel Di María i nplace of Sergio El Kun Aguero.

Di Maria had a hand in Argentina's only winning goal in Argentina v. Australia. Messi passed it to Di Maria on the left, then Di Maria crossed it to Lavezzi.
