Football! In Argentina isn’t just a sport; it’s a living, breathing part of everyday life. The passion runs deep, the history is rich, and the rivalries… well, they’re nothing short of legendary. From the bustling streets of Buenos Aires, every neighbourhood has its own story, and every story has its own clásico. Today, we’re not just talking about matches; we’re diving into the fierce battles that define communities, split families, and turn ordinary weekends into unforgettable moments. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just love a good story, stick around—because this is where football’s heart beats the loudest. Welcome to Further Records, the podcast where you can stay One Step Ahead with your English practice. I’m your host, Forest.First up, we have the Superclásico—the ultimate showdown between River Plate and Boca Juniors. Both clubs were founded in the early 1900s (https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5235/523556201007/html/) in the neighbourhood of La Boca, Buenos Aires. Over time, River Plate moved to Núñez, but the rivalry remained intense. River became associated with the wealthier classes, earning the nickname 'Los Millonarios, (the millionaires)' while Boca retained its working-class identity, making this clash one of both social and footballing significance.  Even though they have some differences, this match is about more than just football; it’s history, social class, and the love for the game. It’s the kind of rivalry that splits families, and when they meet, the whole country stops to watch. Next, let’s head to Avellaneda, just outside Buenos Aires, where Independiente and Racing Club face off. Their stadiums are just blocks apart, and this proximity only adds fuel to the fire. The “Clásico de Avellaneda (https://www.espn.com.ar/futbol/argentina/nota/_/id/11900275/independiente-racing-clasico-partidos-goles-historicos-recuerdo)” isn’t just about winning—it’s about proving who really owns the city.Did you know that Racing’s Estadio Presidente Perón, also known as “El Cilindro” (the cylinder), is one of the few stadiums in the world with a circular design, which amplifies the sound of the crowd? And just a short walk away, Independiente’s Estadio Libertadores de América was the first stadium in Argentina to have a double-decker stand.But Buenos Aires has more than just these big names. There’s the Clásico Porteño between San Lorenzo and Huracán (https://www.tycsports.com/san-lorenzo/huracan-san-lorenzo-clasico-porteno-clasico-de-barrio-mas-grande-del-mundo-id496078.html),
