More fútbol argentino than you can shake a mullet at
Argentines Abroad has been held up slightly this week so that we can take the midweek matches into account, principally because of events in Spain; Wednesday saw Real Madrid (with Gonzalo Higuaín and Ángel Di María) clinch the Spanish league title, just a couple of hours after Lionel Messi's hat-trick against Málaga lifted him to...

It's time for a quick roundup of the action from the Argentine foreign legion in Italy, Spain, Mexico and Portugal, as Lionel Messi found the net after four games without a goal, Chelo Delgado scored a fine goal in Mexico, and Rodrigo Palacio came up with an inspired - if fortunate - finish for Genoa,...

It's been a good while since the last lot of Argentines Abroad, partly because of the Claudio Yacob exclusive on Tuesday night, partly because of an enormous storm in Buenos Aires over the last 24 hours which left me stranded for longer than expected at my girlfriend's house on Wednesday, and partly because of a...

The weekend just gone saw as many crucial contributions from Argentines as ever in the world's biggest leagues, and a welcome return to form for the usual suspects in the Mexican league after last week's no-show. With the usual contributions from Mexico, Portugal, Spain and France, here's the latest roundup. In England's Premier League, Jonás... Continue Reading →
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 →
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...

It was another packed weekend in which Argentines around the world had a big say in footballing matters, so here's another dose of Argentines Abroad. Sergio Agüero hit a hat-trick for Manchester City, Fernando Belluschi for Porto and Javier Pastore for PSG scored crackers (Pastore's was his first for his new club), and there was...

That's not the best headline I'll ever put up on HEGS, I realise, but it is a fairly accurate one, at least. There were a fair few impressive performances by Argentina's foreign legion during the weekend just gone, as action finally got underway in Spain, and continued elsewhere. Some of them are compiled here, ahead... Continue Reading →
This isn't going to be a very complete Argentines Abroad post, because I've been very busy so far this week, and of course Spain and Italy both have yet to get underway properly, but two of our regular contributors from last season have already sent in pieces to help our readers get up to speed with...

The twenty-ninth episode of Hand Of Pod is, as the milkmaid said to the parson, quite a whopper. That's largely because Sam, Australian Dan and Seba have not one but two rounds of Torneo Apertura matches to look back on, as well as River Plate's historic debut in the Nacional B (second division). There's more,... Continue Reading →
