Boca - River

_38297667_boca_river_298.gif

The day of the Super Clasico. Sunday, at the Bombonera, is the day of the Boca – River match.
The rivalry that divides the country does not even leave the supporters of the other teams indifferent and has a history that goes far back in time.
Xeneizes and Millionarios. Each Argentinian team has a nickname. Boca Juniors, the team of the quarter of the same name, founded by the Genoese, chose blue and yellow, or rather azul and oro as its colours because the club founders, who were not sure about the choice, decided to adopt the colours of the flag of the first ship that entered the port from that moment on. It was a Swedish ship.
The origin of River’s nickname is semantically simple but historically uncertain. While it is true that the millionaires are the rich ones in town, it would seem that the name, rather than deriving from the quarter of origin (Nuñez) is tied to a number of costly purchases made in the Twenties.
These two nicknames are however “institutional” ones. Generally speaking, when the two groups of supporters mock one another, they use other ones. The Boca fans are known as bosteros (“stinkers”) because behind the Bombonera runs the Riachuelo, a small rather smelly river. The River supporter are known as called “hens”. This nickname was historically coined during an unlucky period for the Nuñez club, between the two decades 1950-1970. In 1966, River reached the Copa Libertadores final and took the lead 2-0. The fans started singing, but in the end they lost the match and the trophy. During the first championship match after the continental trophy defeat, on the Banfield pitch, the supporters of the rival team threw a hen onto the field, with a red band, which a player quickly kicked into the grandstands.
Sunday evening, Miguel Angel Russo’s Boca, back at the top of the league, competes against Daniel Passarella’s River, still lacking in terms of results and already knocked out of the Copa Libertadores.
The forecast is still uncertain however, in what is the country’s most enthralling Super Clasico – the only sure thing is the excitement.
