You're really fortunate to have established this contact in Buenos Aires. One of the worst things about being Jewish is the disintegrated families - I have relatives in Australia, the Czech Republic, Israel, Argentina and a number of other countries, but all of them are total strangers.

Of course, Oscar said he must be related to us. :-) The story about your grandfather and uncle are common. Many Italians either went to Argentina, Brasil, Canada, Venezuela, or the USA. And I should add Australia as well in later years. I hope that you are able to see a live game at La Bombonera, and thank you for your kind words. On our modest site, there is a link to obtain game tickets. Frank:

I have never been to Argentina but footage of league games there on the television shows a real passion and atmosphere that I would imagine has to be felt to be believed. Not unlike Vicarage Road, Watford........... What a nice article Steve.

Small doubt. I was watching the highlights of a recent Boca game(vs San Martin i think) and one player(with blond hair) scored two goals the first of which was a stunner. Any idea what his name is? And I'm guessing he's argentinian................ Good article. Small doubt.
