http://newells.theoffside.com News from Newell's Old Boys Argentina football team Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:37:03 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Just imagine what game day will be like. This is just fans coming out to support the team in the traditional Banderazo that happens a few days before every clásico. Only this time, more than 25,000 fans showed up. That beat the old record by about 7,000. There were so many ... http://newells.theoffside.com/team-news/video-of-el-banderazo.html There isn't much to say about Friday's win at Chacarita. Newell's played better, but needed an own goal to escape with a 0-1 win. So no need for a video clip. Schiavi is still hoping to go this weekend against Central, but I'm not holding my breath. He says he is ... http://newells.theoffside.com/team-news/of-chacarita-and-scoundrels.html One of Newell's favorite sons, 2004 title winner with La Lepra, and Paraguayan national team keeper Justo Villar made several good stops late to keep the Netherlands from scoring in a 0-0 draw. Justo played 135 matches for NOB from 2004 - 2008 and in my opinion is the best keeper ... http://newells.theoffside.com/team-news/villar-shuts-out-the-dutch.html A couple of videos of Sunday's win over River. The first is a scant half a minute and shows each goal once. The second is from a River fan site, but it gives several looks at each goal. Just note the difference in the announcer when Boghossian scores for Newell's and ... http://newells.theoffside.com/team-news/match-video-nob-2-1-river.html Quick thoughts after the match: Newell's are playing like title winners, refusing to lose (or draw in this case) and scored another late match winner. Boghossian is a beast. I don't remember if NOB bought him or if he is on loan (I am thinking he is on loan) but I am ... http://newells.theoffside.com/team-news/who-was-that-tall-uruguayan.html The AFA's disciplinary committee today handed down a hefty penalty for Sánchez Prette's tackle on Racing's Martin Cáceres. Cáceres will be out of action for eight months. I thought he'd get a match or two, but five is way more than anyone thought. Some rule or the other allows the committee ... http://newells.theoffside.com/team-news/5-match-suspension-for-sanchez-prette.html Just a short clip of the goals tonight. Oh and Newell's provided all three goals with Boghossian scoring an own goal before netting the winner in the 86th minute. http://newells.theoffside.com/team-news/tigre-1-2-newells.html Well, Schiavi has been not been ruled out but team doctors are recommending that el Flaco sit this one out. Seeing as how Tigre are bottom of table, it makes sense to rest him. He's got a small tear in the muscle of his left foot (I'm not sure what ... http://newells.theoffside.com/team-news/up-next-tigre.html Newell's continued their winning ways with a thriller against Racing. Racing came in on a bad run of form and tried to grind out a 0 - 0 draw by parking a bus in front of their goal that almost worked. Once Newell's scored, courtesy of Juan Manuel Insaurralde and about ... http://newells.theoffside.com/team-news/newells-1-0-racing.html In a must have game if Newell's wanted to become a serious contender, Uruguayan Joaquín Boghossian answered the bell for Newell's, finding the back of the net twice and narrowly missing a third. Video after the jump. It's hard to imagine Newell's having won the game without him. He was definitely ... http://newells.theoffside.com/team-news/velez-1-2-newells-aka-boghossians-coming-out.html
