TOPICS:

• Intro

• Two phases? Group A and B…30 clubs? Help me understand Liga Profesional de Fútbol or Argentine Primera División? Do you prefer this style over the traditional single season format?
• When Leicester City won the Premier League in the 2015-16 season they had 5000-1 odds. Has Liga Profesional de futbol had a major underdog win the league or major trophy?
• I know the traditional powers of the league are Boca, River, Independiante, Racing, and San Lorenzo. What club do you support?
• Is there a trendy up and coming club?
• Diego Maradona, Juan Romàn Riquelme, Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Batistuta, Angel Di Maria, Javier Mascherano are one of the many names of greats that came from the Primera Division. Are there any current players in that league with huge potential?
• I was told to ask about the fan culture of “hinchas” could you explain who they are and their significance
