Talk:Club Atlético River Plate (Uruguay)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] The container River Plate

The fact that the article about Río de la Plata mentions a more plausible origin of its English name, and is properly sourced, I think this story is little more than an hoax, and should therefore be deleted. Unless someone posts reliable sources for this section, I wil personally delete it. I think I can, in fact, provide more sources of usage of this name which predate the foundation of any of these football clubs by several decades. Jordevi 20:26, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
