	Xtratime Community - Libertadores 2005 - Bigger and Better (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The 2005 Libertadores cup will be quite different from the previous editions of the tournament.
		In the group of 16 the pairings will no longer be “pre-determined” to pair up teams from the same nations, as before; now the team with the best campaign will be matched against the team with the worst campaign (1st X 16th), the 2nd against the 15th and so on.
		That change seeks to avoid the excess of penalty-kick decisions — the Libertadores was decided on penalties in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004.

		Boca Juniors will be attempting to win by a wide margin in their Libertadores Cup second round, first leg, match against Brazil’s Paysandú at home this evening (starting 9.10pm) to have a cushion for the away leg against the Brazilian team in the hot, steamy atmosphere of Paysandú.
		Paysandú easily won their first round group unbeaten in the Libertadores Cup — and line up the tournament’s top scorer, Robson with six goals — but are not doing too well in the recently started Brazilian national championship.
		Boca Juniors, on the other hand, are joint leaders of their national championship, but had to struggle to qualify for the second round in second place of their Libertadores Cup group.
