Arsenal FC: The Argentinian club is making waves

Arsenal FC lost to Boca Juniors, 1-2 in the Apertura 2006 but is overall an impressive 4th position in League standings. Ricardo La Volpe's Boca Juniors are in the top spot and Rodrigo Palacio is fast becoming South America's top player.

Gustavo Alfaro's club has never won anything of note since their formation in 1957. They reached the quarterfinals of the 2004 Copa Sudamericana and were 14th in the 2005 Apertura.

Their most famous alumni is Jorge Burruchaga who scored the winner in Argentina's 3-2 victory over Germany in the 1986 World Cup finals.
