Club Atletico River Plate of Argentina is one of the best, most exciting club teams in the world. They are currently my favourite team of all, as in I would drop whatever I was doing to watch one of their games. So I decided to do (another) picspam of River, but this time I am using pics I've never posted before (I don't think) that focus on each individual player. Credit for the fabulous pics goes mostly to the cariverplate.com site.

Here is a teaser pic:

It is of the team celebrating after winning the recent Argentine Championship.

The rest of the picspam is below the cut.



Mmmm...here's a typical celebration/manpile pic:

And another campeones pic.

First, there are four players from this River Plate team who also play for their national teams. These are:

1) Diego Buonanotte - Argentina

Photobucket

2) Radamel Falcao - Colombia

Photobucket

3) Sebastian Abreu - Uruguay

Photobucket

4) Alexis Sanchez - Chile

Photobucket

And now for the sad news. Some of the best River Plate players have transferred to other teams. These are:

1) Juan Pablo Carrizo - Goalkeeper - to Lazio in Italy

Photobucket

2) Alexis Sanchez - Midfielder/Winger - to Udinese in Italy

Photobucket

3) Sebastian Abreu - Forward - to Beitar Jerusalem

Photobucket

But here are pics of the players as they were last season when they won the Clausura. Unfortunately there weren't pics of all the guys - some of them are new and the site hadn't uploaded pics of them yet. But here are the main players.
