Safe at last

Posted on Monday, 30 June 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

It’s been a long and tortuous season for Racing, but on Sunday night, at last, their fans will finally be able to sleep sound in their beds, and when they wake up on Monday morning will be going into work or school with, if not pride, then at least a massive sense of relief. On [...]

Posted on Friday, 27 June 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

The latest complicated chapter in the saga of Ariel Ortega’s turbulent time at River Plate has seemingly come to an end after the playmaker agreed to remain at the club for another year, until the end of his contract in June 2009. Many had thought El Burrito would be making his way to Estudiantes after his recent bust-up [...]

Russo lays out his plans

Posted on Friday, 27 June 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

Miguel Angel Russo has given his first press conference as manager of San Lorenzo, setting out the philosophy he’ll be approaching the next season with, which for the most part, sensibly enough, involves keeping the current squad together. He revealed his only transfer target was Olympiakos midfielder Cristian Ledesma, and declared that he would be aiming [...]

Belgrano 1 – 1 Racing

Posted on Thursday, 26 June 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

Following Gimnasia de Jujuy’s away draw with Unión on Wednesday evening, Racing got one of their own in Córdoba against Belgrano to set up a return at El Cilindro on Sunday. In the first half, Facundo Sava was on his best form, scoring once but missing an absolute bucketload as Racing more or less shut [...]

It was thirty years ago today…

Posted on Wednesday, 25 June 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

With the regular editorial having made way a little while ago for my regular Pitch Invasion column, I’ve decided to put the page on HEGS to a slightly different use from now on. Periodically (hopefully approximately every two weeks) I’ll be posting a piece looking back on a segment of Argentina’s long and rich footballing [...]

Awards: voting closed

Posted on Tuesday, 24 June 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

I should have posted this last night, but felt the Gate 12 article deserved a bit of time at the top of the page. Voting for the 2008 HEGS Award for Best Argentine in a Foreign League has now closed. I’ll be contacting the winner’s website people tonight and, when I know whether or not [...]

Boca’s latest two transfer targets

Posted on Tuesday, 24 June 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

Either the world’s going a little bit mad, or Pedro Pompilio is beginning to lose touch with reality a tad. The identities of two players Boca Juniors may currently be considering for the transfer market have been revealed, and they make for surprising reading. Both were born in South America, but that’s about the least surprising [...]

The tragedy of Gate 12

Posted on Tuesday, 24 June 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

Monday marked the fourtieth anniversary of a dark day in the history of football in Argentina and, indeed, across South America. On the 23rd June 1968, as Boca Juniors fans left the Estadio Monumental at the end of a mid-season superclásico, a gate was left less than fully opened under circumstances that remain mysterious to [...]

Posted on Monday, 23 June 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

The goals from the final round of matches in the 2008 Torneo Clausura are online now, and you can watch them right here on the TN sports blog. Lack of individual goal videos online this week means the normal best goals feature has had to be cut back a little, but I’ve still managed to [...]
