Pretty sure there was some involvement from FIFA saying they would be penalised if they didn’t take the field. Beleive it was because CONMEBOL wouldn’t make a call they stepped in.

Mikey1874 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Seems the River Plate players were unwilling to play the game when they found out about the injuries to the Boca Juniors players. A little bit of unity within the madness. Seems the main reaction is embarrassment and even shame in Argentina.

martoon Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 This feels never ending. Even if it actually starts, and plays to a conclusion, a River victory will be just the beginning. I doubt very much Boca will just accept defeat without protest after last night's events. After all, they were ejected from the Libertadores a few years back when their fans attacked River's players at half time in the 2nd leg. Inside the stadium or outside surely doesn't matter. Still not a patch on the 2012 final or it's importance... ...and nothing could match the post-final whining and squirming of the Hibby.
