RIP Pedro Pompilio

Posted on Friday, 31 October 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

As already mentioned by Seba in the comments, Pedro Pompilio, Boca Juniors’ president, died unexpectedly on Thursday following a heart attack, aged 58. Pompilio had taken over the presidency of Boca last December, when Mauricio Macri left his post to become Mayor of the City of Buenos Aires. Elections had been due in the new year [...]

Apertura ‘08: Round 12 goals

Posted on Thursday, 30 October 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

There seems to be a technical hitch with the TN sportblog this week (at least on my computer there is, the video isn’t loading), and unfortunately the solution isn’t an ideal one. If you click here, you’ll be taken to the TyCSports website, where near the top of the page (right in the middle if [...]

A new era begins

Posted on Thursday, 30 October 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

What will Diego Maradona’s appointment as manager of Argentina mean for the fans and players of the national team? You can find out on Soccernet, where I’ve written a terrible first paragraph and an otherwise pretty good (I hope) article on the new technical team for the selección. You can read it here.

Tigre roar

Posted on Wednesday, 29 October 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

This will go online a few hours after I write it, because the news about Diego Maradona’s impending appointment to the national team job merits some space at the top of the page for a little while, but there was some other stuff going on on Tuesday – Primera A matches, in fact. Vélez bounced [...]

Posted on Tuesday, 28 October 2008 by hastaelgolsiempre

It’s only Tuesday, but already we’re gearing up for another round of action in the Primera A, and it becomes apparent once more why I refer to ’rounds’ rather than ‘weekends’ in the HEGS headlines. There are some high-pressure matches at the top: Tigre get things started at home to Independiente, and will go top [...]
