2014
Apertura
Boca is by far the strongest team in Argentina and their unbeaten status and goal record in this year's Apertura made it clear. Their payroll is about four times or more bigger than the second largest payroll, somewhere along Huracan's category. They also won the 2014 Copa Libertadores vs. São Paulo. I did finally have my first good run in a continental cup; I made it to the semi's of the 2014 Copa Sudamericana. I also qualified for the 2015 Copa Libertadores (group stage entry) so hopefully my Sudamericana run was a good sign of things to come.
2014 Apertura Standings:
Copa Sudamericana:
Jorge Canelo, future world star and my best player already, had a great Apertura. He scored 12 goals in the league and 5 goals in the Copa Sudamericana. He's only 19 years old, but already scored close to 50 goals for Huracan.
His striking partner Felipe Mora was hugely disappointing. Wasted a ton of chances and scored only about 10 matches into the Apertura. Hoping to see a significant improvement from him in the Clausura, or I might give one of my other striker prospects a serious shot. Franco Londoño, my Argentinian-Colombian bull which I signed from Boca's youth academy is raring to take his place.
José Carreras, my favorite player if only for the idea of him at his fulfilled potential, missed the Apertura through injury. I can see him being the star and leader of my first Libertadores triumph.
He's a bit injury prone, but I already signed two bodyguards to protect him from South America's bullies from Brazil: Augusto and João (I posted their profiles on the previous page).
This team + 5 years of development will be ridiculous.
