Regular and long-term readers of HEGS will have noticed, I hope, that this blog hasn't been updated for a month and a half, and that it's been a long time before that since I last really wrote anything on it, rather than just posting goal videos. I want to explain why that is (beyond the fact... Continue Reading →
The 2011 Torneo Apertura is here!
Hasta El Gol Siempre is back, ladies and gents. I apologise for the long absence of any posts on here since the Copa América final, but I've been just as busy working as I was during the Copa itself, if not more (more of that in a short while), and it's been quite pleasant in some...

Argentine football: how to watch
With the Torneo Clausura getting underway on Friday evening, and the 2011 Copa Libertadores about to get serious, I thought I'd write a post outlining something which, if you're a HEGS reader, is absolutely certain to be of interest to you. It's all very well reading about Argentine football, after all, but for many, mere... Continue Reading →
A service announcement

All the ups and downs
As I've done in every year of HEGS' existence, always at great inconvenience to myself (seriously, you wouldn't believe how long it takes to pull this information together for such a short post) you'll find here the only single page on the whole internet (I think) with all of Argentina's promotions and relegations, across every...
