Thats right
Today, or tomorrow, depending where you live, is Boca Juniors' 100th birthday!!!
100 years of cups
100 years of tournaments
100 years of winings, and loosings
100 years of happy and sad moments
100 years of unconditioned love
100 years of idols
100 years of beeing fathers*
100 years of passion

At this exact moment there is a meeting for 3000 people. There is food, music, bands, important people, idols, the current team...
And tomorrow, after the game, there is a huge party at the stadium with a huge screen showing movies of the history, and at the end, a huge show of fireworks...
I am so sad I am not there...
Hopefuly I will see some pictures...
Even Lenny Kravitz made a concert in our stadium.
We even made a torch that went all around Argentina....

We call it "El Xentenario". A "Centenario" its like a century, but the Boca fans are called Xeneises, so we mixed the two words, and this is what we got:

BOCA JUNIORS, THANK YOU FOR ALL THIS YEARS AND FOR ALL THIS WONDERFUL MOMENTS!
ONE CENTURY LOVING YOU-UN SIGLO AMANDOTE

SOS LO MAS GRANDE QUE HAY!!!!



*=In Argentina, when you have two teams, and of them won more games against the other, we call the winner father and the looser son. River plater is our son...

In June this year Elton John is holding a concert at our stadium...still I'd rather see Lenny Kravitz.

That's unusual, here in Yorkshire we have some different words describing the losers of two rival teams. :wink:

BTW, Huddersfield Town has it's centenary in 2008.
