Since Patricio Hernández took charge at the start of the season, Banfield hadn’t won one match in any competition before tonight – well, welcome to the winner’s enclosure, [...]

This is the group of Argentina-based players, who Basile intends to spend as much time as available to him training with, and from whom he intends to draw half of the squad for [...]

Here they are!
A friend suggested last week that I edit the videos in [...]

Jorge Burruchaga’s not a small man, but right now he’s in it all the way up to his neck. Independiente gave a decent showing in the summer friendlies, but as so often have failed to follow it into a good start to the league campaign.
Against Boca on Saturday they were useless, and today, with the [...]

Yet another high scoring day in Argentina, despite the scorching heat. OK, so San Lorenzo vs. Belgrano only produced one goal (for the home side), but there were two in the ‘derby’ of the Gimnasias – both for the originals, from La Plata – three for Godoy Cruz against Quilmes, whilst the 37°C heat in [...]

River Plate and San Lorenzo both begin their temporary exiles today, as a result of stadium suspensions following recent troubles. River host Racing at Vélez’s gorgeous José Amalfitani, whilst former River managerial legend Ramón Díaz will occupy the home bench in – slightly sadistic, this – La Bombonera, after Boca agreed to let San Lorenzo [...]

Martín Palermo has achieved every footballer’s dream, and emulated David Beckham. Yesterday against Independiente he knocked in this rather impressive effort from the halfway line to seal Boca’s 3-1 win over Independiente. If you see a better one this weekend, do let me know.

A week after making his debut, Juan Román Riquelme decided to show up this week, and laid on two assists for Rodrigo Palacio and Neri Cardozo to help Boca to a 3-1 away win against Independiente, in Racing’s ground. This despite bright young thing Ever Banega getting himself sent off just before the hour.
Independiente took [...]

Two long-awaited firsts for Argentines in Europe on Saturday: Gonzalo Higuaín scored his first goal for Real Madrid, to level the Madrid derby 1-1 (which is how it ended), and Javier Mascherano, following the exile at West Ham and the special dispensation from FIFA and all the rest of it, finally played something like a [...]

Not a bad Friday evening, then. Last night Arsenal smashed Chicago 4-0 away from home, Mauro Obolo (pictured jumping) bagging two – wunderkid Pablo Mouche and Santiago Raymonda got the others.
Then Estudiantes hosted Colón, and despite having a one-man advantage for most of the match after Esteban González got sent off, could only draw, 2-2. [...]
