When I see a hired attack dog going public like this, it makes me think that Grondona is preparing the public for the possible sacking of Diego. Maybe not right away, but down the road, if things don't go well.

I don;t get a chance to watch much domestic arg. football, but you guys really made the whole scene sound so interesting. Too bad they only really show Boca up here. Although Boca is defacto my team because of Riquelme, who is my fav. player, it would be nice to see the smaller sides with young players. Thanks again. Really interesting pod.

Is it surprising that GRONDONA's been advocating for RIQUELME to be back in the national team and all of a sudden, MERELAS, a man I'm sure most of our readers never even heard of, goes public with strong statements and says RIQUELME has nothing to apologize for? You vote for GRONDONA in every elections at the AFA, he keeps you happy and you get your benefits. Politics. Always disrupting the beautiful game.

Can you explain the whole FA scene in some future podcast. It would be fascinating if it weren't so aggravating.

Posted on 6/30/2009 at 5:17 PM 0 Gracias for that story, Paulina. That guy talking now, Enrique MERELLAS, is unbelievable! He's one of GRONDONA's mafia family capi! How he has the face to go on and talk about this rubbish when he's been terrible in his role as an AFA director. The way he run the club El Porvenir as a President is nothing short of mafioso. I won't take none of the words coming from his mouth with any kind of seriousness. In fact...I'm not even reading the entire article. Just my two cents on that.
