Gerardo Martino has announced Argentina's squad list for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers at home to Brazil (Thurs 12th November) and away to Colombia (Tues 17th), from which his side desperately need some good results after a disappointing start in which they lost at home to Ecuador and drew away to Paraguay.

Argentines Abroad: another catch-up
Deadlines for previewing the final rounds of the 2011 Torneo Apertura have severely hampered my style this week, so without further ado here's a quick catch-up in the main leagues covered by Argentines Abroad.

Argentines Abroad: Maxi downs Chelsea, Gago’s brilliant strike and more (video)
As ever, there were a number of Argentine goals during the weekend just gone in leagues across Europe. Oddly, there were none in Mexico this weekend (for the first time since I began accepting contributions for this post!), so Tom Clark hasn't been able to fill us in with anything. In England, though, Sergio Agüero... Continue Reading →

With the World Cup qualifiers approaching, it's time to take a look at how Alejandro Sabella's boys - and those he's not called up - did in the weekend just gone for their clubs.

Argentines Abroad over the last week-and-a-half
Argentines Abroad has been, to put it mildly, a bit out of sync so far this season. It's become truly, monumentally bad this week and last, though, for a few reasons. For that, I apologise, but I present here the updates sent to me from the last week-and-a-bit (i.e. covering the last two weekends) from my intrepid... Continue Reading →
Argentines Abroad: what happened last weekend
Because I've had a somewhat disjointed week of deadlines not being what they normally are, Argentines Abroad is going up ridiculously late this week. All the same, I did receive the normal dispatches from France, Mexico, Portugal and Spain, so here they are, regarding last weekend's league (and cup) action in each of those countries, including...

Argentines Abroad: Higuaín’s hat trick, another Pastore goal & more (video)
We've got a neat finish from Javier Pastore, Gonzalo Higuaín's hat trick for Madrid, some lovely goals form Mexico and, um, a description of Jonás Gutiérrez's brilliant solo effort for Newcastle United (thanks to the Premier League not allowing videos on YouTube) this week on Argentines Abroad, as well as summaries from Portugal and Italy....

Argentines Abroad: Catching up
I've been unable to get Argentines Abroad online so far this week, but my normal contributors have submitted their pieces as diligently as ever, and it would be unfair not to use them. So, if you'd like to find out what happened last weekend to the Argentines playing in Mexico, Portugal and Spain, read on. Tom... Continue Reading →
Argentines Abroad: Messi leads Barcelona to an 8-0 win & more (video)
This week's Argentines Abroad is late, thanks to the midweek round of matches here in Argentina keeping me busy. Better late than never, though. As well as Lionel Messi's hat-trick in Barcelona's 8-0 demolition of Osasuna, we've got videos of lovely goals from Portugal, France and Mexico right here for your pleasure. Enjoy. In the...
