Midweek matches are very disorienting. No sooner have we recovered from the glut of goals in round 5, than round 6 arrives to dizzy us all again. This weekend’s main clash in the top flight is the clásico between Racing and River, which is set to see mass protests from the home fans at the [...]

It’s been a very high-scoring round of football matches in the middle of the week, with 34 goals flying in in only ten matches and not a single 0-0 amongst them. There were three thrilling clásicos, a return to attacking form for River after a difficult few weeks both on and off the pitch, a [...]

The AFA must be thinking very long and hard about switching all first division matches to midweek from now on. Following on from the thriller that was Banfield vs. Lanús on Tuesday afternoon came two absolutely ridiculous matches which saw 13 goals between them and massive changes in fortune for both home sides.

A minor Spanish lesson for you: that headline means ‘great match’. Banfield hosted Lanús in the clásico in El Sur and the match truly lived up to the name. With the hosts looking to leapfrog Independiente at the top, and the visitors after their second win of the competition, having got off the mark against Olimpo at the [...]

It’s perhaps not quite right to refer to Australia as ‘Down Under’ on this site, being as how Buenos Aires is actually further south than Sydney, but nearly all the players named in Alfio Basile’s squad for the 11th September friendly against the Socceroos will have to fly in from Europe, and the remaining one [...]
