They plan on reducing the league to 20 sides until some potentially relegated club barra bravas start threatening Tapia on Whatsapp or throw another fan from the bleachers to the ground and they force to keep it at 28 teams.

Lol.

I've never heard the logic behind making it so big just to bring it down again a few years later. The Argentinian league has dropped off in quality pretty bad in the last decade or so. Used to be a close 2nd to Brazil in the hemisphere, now they're arguably 3rd behind Mexico.

Yeah, I think it would have to be. Holding has regressed so badly this season. He's still young though and looked good at the back end of last season, but damn.

I have no faith in koscielny but chambers was brutal tonight too. Hard times.

Chambers is a fucking can.

Like pure fucking shite and it should be illegal for someone like him to play football.

The structure of the Superliga has been something they've been wanting to develop for years as there was too many teams and it's always been a mess. They thought restructuring to this Superliga would change that and that they could drop it to 20 teams only. That didn't turn out as planned and they ended up with 28 teams and are still talking about dropping it to 20, but I would like to see them try and drop 8 teams to second division without it being a major issue.

One could argue at it's peak, they were the best league in America. Now, yeah, I agree, it's #2 behind the Brasileirao, but I would def. not rank Liga MX above it. Sure there's a ton of corruption among AFA and they are a much poorer league than Liga MX, but the clubs are so much better.

Boca and River will always be big dogs in the CONMEBOL competitions and then the rest will always be around -- Racing, Independiente, Lanús, San Lorenzo, Estudiantes, etc.
