Central in ’scoring more goals than opposition’ shock!

Posted on Friday, 30 November 2007 by hastaelgolsiempre

A very deep breath, and please if for some reason you’re reading the internet standing up, try and find a seat before I go any further. Now take a deep breath. Ready? Then here we go: Rosario Central have won a football match. To think that all they needed all along was to appoint a new [...]

A version of the ‘truth’ from Alan Schlenker

Posted on Friday, 30 November 2007 by hastaelgolsiempre

The man who many suspect of having been behind the murder of Gonzalo Acro broke his silence on Thursday to speak out yet again about his innocence in the affair from his hideaway. Alan Schlenker, the capo of Los Borrachos del Tablón, River Plate’s hooligan gang, insisted – not for the first time – that [...]

Riquelme returns to Boca

Posted on Thursday, 29 November 2007 by hastaelgolsiempre

Juan Román Riquelme finally returned to La Bombonera permanently on Thursday, signing a contract which should keep him at Boca Juniors for the next three years. Diego Maradona, meanwhile, went on a meet-and-greet. Riquelme’s apparently told Villarreal that they needn’t pay him the money they owe him, ‘for another year and a half,’ and his [...]

Apertura ‘07: Lanús draw closer

Posted on Thursday, 29 November 2007 by hastaelgolsiempre

Having seen Tigre claim a stunning victory over Boca just before their own match against Gimnasia got underway, Lanús’s players knew they wouldn’t be celebrating their club’s first ever Argentine championship on Wednesday whatever happened. But they also knew they could get a lot closer to it with the right result. And so it proved.

Apertura ‘07: Tigre still dream, Boca have a nightmare

Posted on Wednesday, 28 November 2007 by hastaelgolsiempre

Unbelievable. If you’d scripted this at the start of the championship, no-one in their right minds would have published it. I heard a joke recently, after a striker in England’s second tier starred in Northern Ireland’s recent Euro 2008 qualifying exploits. ‘Roy of the Rovers reads David Healy comics!’ If that’s true, then presumably David Healy reads [...]

On his way?

Posted on Tuesday, 27 November 2007 by hastaelgolsiempre

Diego Simeone is one of the favourites to take charge of River Plate at the end of the current campaign, and his words today didn’t stop those rumours for a second. El Cholo has given the Estudiantes directors an ultimatum: give me the squad I want, or I’m off.
