More fútbol argentino than you can shake a mullet at
HEGS Award voting season (nominations to the address in that post please) got underway with another championship for a team with Argentine representation this weekend, as Porto claimed their fourth consecutive Portuguese crown. Elsewhere Martín Demichelis celebrated the birth of his child with a rare goal in Germany, and Hernán Crespo started for Internazionale! Lionel... Continue Reading →
...Plus the European Cup semi-final second legs. That's an easy one to get out the way quickly: Carlos Tevez didn't feature as Manchester United booked their place in the final, whilst Lionel Messi had a quiet game for Barcelona but set up a last-gasp equaliser for Andrés Iniesta to put Barcelona through on away goals...

It's been a quiet-ish week for the main Argentine contingent in Europe, but there have been one or two scorers. In Mexico, meanwhile, the new year's championship is already underway, and there were five goals from Argentines as well as a couple of other decent contributions there. Step this way...

It was a good week for Argentina's players in the European leagues, with important goals which will affect the title races of a number of Europe's bigger leagues and one or two eye-catchers further down the pecking order, too. And there were also a few expats on show on the opening weekend of Major League Soccer... Continue Reading →
The publication of this editorial got pushed back by a few days because I was ill earlier in the week not not up to spending too much time typing, but it's coincided nicely with the Arab new year. We've got a few readers in that part of the world, so happy new year to all... Continue Reading →

In England, Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano found themselves... Continue Reading →
