A deal with the devil

UK readers may remember that a month or so ago I was writing in When Saturday Comes about the Argentine government’s under-the-radar plans to try and finance a large group of barra bravas to travel to the World Cup in South Africa come June. A couple of weeks ago there were some further developments, and now those in the rest of the world can update themselves on the story. Just click here to read all about it on ESPN Soccernet.

You can follow the Clausura and the Argentine sides in the 2010 Copa Libertadores via HEGS on Twitter (including updates during and between matches and similar stories that might not go up on the site until later). I’m slowly gaining followers, but if you’ve not signed up yet you can do so here.
