Spectator Sports: Soccer Frommer

One cannot discuss soccer in Argentina without paying homage to Diego Armando Maradona, Argentina's most revered player and one of the sport's great (if fallen) players. Any sense of national unity dissolves when Argentines watch their favorite clubs -- River Plate, Boca Juniors, Racing Club, Independiente, and San Lorenzo -- battle on Sunday. Passion for soccer could not run hotter, and you can catch a game at the Estadio Boca Juniors, Brandsen 805 (tel. 11/4362-2260), in San Telmo, followed by raucous street parties. Ticket prices start at $10 and can be purchased in advance or at the gate.
