“Soccer is as much a religion in Argentina as it is in arch rival Brazil. So it is almost beyond belief that Aug. 14, opening day of the main league competition, Primera A, will pass without a ball being kicked. The Argentine Football Association (AFA), the game’s governing body in the country, had postponed indefinitely all games in the Primera A, along with those in the second and regional divisions, because of the clubs’ estimated $300 million in debt, $180 million of which is thought to be owed by the 20 Primera A clubs.” (Forbes)
