More fútbol argentino than you can shake a mullet at
There are no Friday night games this weekend, sadly, but since the fixtures go up on HEGS at the same time every week, here they are per usual for you to plan your weekend around. There's a half-derby in El Cilindro and a match in Tucumán which will prove important at both ends of the... Continue Reading →

River Plate didn't have an easy welcome home from their fans following the midweek elimination from the Copa Libertadores, but just about got past Gimnasia de Jujuy anyway, thanks to Marcelo Gallardo's assist - with his first touch after being brought on at half time - for Radamel Falcao García. Elsewhere on Sunday Central saw... Continue Reading →
The weekend's clásico in the Nuevo Gasómetro was one, like last week's super, in which a certain amount was lacking. Both sides seemed as preoccupied with guarding their own goal as each other, and less so with trying to score for themselves.

The top three have had a game of musical chairs this weekend, and thanks to Lanús losing, Colón drawing and Vélez winning, it's the boys from Liniers who reach the halfway point of the campaign on top. Neither River Plate nor Boca Juniors prepared in an ideal manner for next week's superclásico - it's normally... Continue Reading →
No clásicos this weekend - San Lorenzo hosting Vélez will be the closest we get, with the home side having just been knocked out of the Copa and lost their manager as a result - but there are a couple of crucial ties, not least in Rosario, where Central host Racing in a game that...
