At simply Futbol we like to welcome talent, sometimes that talent does not have to inside a
football pitch, or maybe it can be inside the pitch but without the interaction of the ball.
The Uruguayan vedette Andrea Ghidone made a promise a few months back, her promise was that if she
were selected to be part of the cast of "Dancing for a dream" (Bailando por un Sueno), similar to
the American "Dancing with the stars" she would pose in her underwear during the match San Lorenzo
played Huracan.
Velez Sarsfield (Argentina) lost 3-0 against Chivas de Guadalajara (Mexico) in the first leg of the
round of sixteen of the Copa Libertadores. The first goal was scored by the Hector Reynoso, the
Mexican international had been suspended by the CONMEBOL and his ban had not been removed.
El Superclasico will be re-scheduled for Thursday March 25th. 82 minutes will be played, with two
halves of 41 minutes each plus the additional time the referee may assign. This match has had us
waiting, and we will have to wait until thursday to see the outcome.
Diego Maradona will present his longlist of 30 Argentine players to the AFA at Ezeiza in a few
short minutes, and HEGS has heard that Javier Zanetti and Gabriel Milito will both be included. TyC

The first football of the new year is already underway in Argentina; on Saturday Banfield and
Huracán played out a 0-0 draw in which the champions of Argentina had more chances but couldn't
put them away with Santiago Silva, whilst in the first of the AFA's official triangular tournaments
(there's no round robin of the [.
9 minutes was enough for Hector Baldassi to postpone the match. The ball was not flowing naturally,
players were making mistakes and Boca almost gave up a goal when Luiz Alberto failed to clear a
ball stuck in the water. This was enough for Hector Baldassi to say enough, and postpone the match.
And what a decision he made, to postpone the biggest and most important match of the week without
hesitating.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Boca Juniors head coach Abel Alves will not be able to bring back the same starting XI on Thursday
for the remainder of El Superclasico. The game was postponed 8 minutes into the match due to
inclement weather.
During a formal football practice on Monday, Alves suffered two important injuries on the squad,
Ibarra and Morel, both outside defenders.
An ad by Young and Rubicam brings to the fore the passion and love Argentines feel for the
beautiful game. As the World Cup approaches Argentinians comes together as one. It is out of this
world. People in other parts of the world look on in awe and reverence. When they lose they suffer,
do not go the cinema or theater.
Finally, the funny and wierdest era of Argentinian football is over. Maradona is not the coach
anymore. A statement on the AFA website read: "Mr Julio Grondona made the members of the
executive...

Just under an hour ago, Diego Maradona walked into a packed press room to give a prepared speech to
Argentina's press on his thoughts after refusing to sign the contract extension the AFA offered him
yesterday. He fired some shots ... Continue reading →
Batista has been confirmed by the pseudo AFA commission composed by men chosen by Grondona (?!).
The coaching staff has been the major reason of Argentina's failures over the past years. As much
as I admire Senor José Pekerman, he was not able to keep his players focused on the possession 95
minutes, in 2006.

"No habrá, o mejor dicho no habría, más dos campeones,

corto, está produciendo una pasión desmedida. Todos quieren estar en la pelea y no están los que
más convocatoria tienen y más problemas tenemos" .

Se a Argentina quiser conquistar o tricampeonato da Copa do Mundo terá que encerrar as brigas
entre seus principais comandantes o mais cedo possível. Quem diz é Verón, titular da Seleção e
um dos nomes mais experientes do elenco comandado por Diego Armando Maradona.

Clearly seeing the new year as a chance for a new start, the AFA announced a personnel change on
Monday that could have big implication for the Clausura. No, don't get too excited they're not
kicking Julio Grondona out. But Jorge Romo is on his way. 'Who's he?' I hear you cry. The head

If you're an eagle-eyed regular reader of HEGS, you may recall at some point during the last week a
comment being made about dodgy Argentine NGOs trying to help secure funding for certain barra brava

This victory is dedicated to my friend MICAELA CAPPONI who is a big fan of Gimnasia de La Plata.
If the result of a game were to be determined based upon the team's roster and previous results
then Estudiantes would have clearly been the winner, but games last 90 minutes and have to be
played.

Inglaterra.

The good: Martin Palermo. The "Titan" scored his 218th goal with Boca Juniors and tied the record
established by Roberto Eugenio Cherro. One more goal will make him the all time leading scorer for
the club and one of the top in Argentine history. He once said that a movie would be made about his
life, and I have no doubt that will happen.
The good:
Carlos "El Chino" Luna scored the first hat-trick of his career and buried Boca Juniors into a
deeper crisis. Luna took advantage of a defense that leaves a lot of gaps and gave Tigre the 3
points at home. Boca hosts River Plate in "El Super Clasico" next weekend, in a game that could
define the future of many.
When Jose Maria Aguilar left the club earlier this year, everyone believed it was the end of the
nightmare. During his time as president River managed to breach every negative record; finishing
last in the league, the longest losing streak, the longest amount of games without scoring and
being disqualified year after year in the early stages of international tournaments against small
teams.

Mendez, Gimenez, Riquelme, Palermo, Gaitan

Preview
This has been a rough week for Boca Juniors, as previously stated on my last article "A week
from Hell for Boca Juniors" .
Diego Maradona returned to "La Bombonera" after his problems with Juan Roman Riquelme last year.
The midfielder resigned to the National team after a series of declarations that were made by
Maradona on national TV. Boca supported Riquelme, and they showed their opinion by placing flags
against Diego.
It might be Easter weekend, and Sunday might be my birthday as well as the big day itself, but the
AFA don't even stop for me (or Jesus). The leaders Independiente host Arsenal in a sort-of
clásico, second-placed Godoy Cruz will be hoping to get back to winning ways at home to Vélez
Sársfield, and [.
Dos bestias en una semana?! Increible pero cierto. El honor es para el defensor de Boca

Bestia de la Semana™.

Buenos Aires, Argentina – April 14th 2010
After Sunday's scoreless tie against Atletico Tucuman, team which stands in the last place of the
Argentine league with 6 points and will most likely end relegated, Leonardo Astrada was removed
from the position of head coach of the first team.
Simply Futbol's Lucas Lugo and Facundo Morales will be at the Pedro Bidegain stadium on Sunday
covering one of the most anticipated derby's in Argentine football : San Lorenzo vs. Huracan.
Date: Sunday April 18th, 2010
Time: 14:00 hs
Referee: Diego Pittana
San Lorenzo arrives the match with 14 points currently holding the 16th position of the Argentine
league, on the other side, Huracan arrives the match with 22 points in 6th place, only 6 points
away from the leader Godoy Cruz.
This will most likely be the headline of some of the most important newspapers in the morning.
Angel Cappa made his official debut in El Monumental with a victory. The goals: Ortega and
Ferrari.
With this Victory River finished a negative streak of 534 minutes without scoring a goal.
The game was scheduled to be played at 2:15pm, but our journey began much earlier, around 7am. We
planned our trip to el "Nuevo Gasometro" in a way we would avoid the infamous "1-11-14", one of
Argentina's most dangerous shady towns. We arrived to the stadium around 12:45, time that we picked
up our credentials.

Atlético Tucumán 0 - Racing Club 1
Mientras varias personas siguen comentando que a Racing lo ayuda la AFA, FAVALE, el espantoso y
merecidamente puteado FAVALE, se "cargaba" un gol completamente legal para Academia en el primer
tiempo del partido suspendido que ayer completaron la Acadé y Atlético.
Recien me estoy enterando de esta bronquita que se esta armando entre el jugador
Juan Sebastian
Veron y el DT
Angel Cappa. Parece que a Veron no le gusto lo que dijo Cappa despues del
partido donde
Estudiantes de la Plata le gano a
River Plate. Veron dijo que Cappa,
con su ideologia, nunca ha ganado nada en el futbol Argentino.

Ariel Ortega just keeps surprising us. After being called up for the National team by Diego
Maradona and playing a superb match against Velez Sarsfield, Ortega shows that he is not only
displaying his "magic" inside the pitch, but soon he will host his own television show.
Olimpo de Bahia Blanca returns to the top flight of the Argentina league after two years. The
institution that was founded in 1910 earned the third promotion of its history, this time under the
lead of head coach Omar de Felippe.
Bahia Blanca is a small city of Buenos Aires, known as the capital of Basketball, and home of Manu
Ginobili.
With only two games left in the season, Angel Cappa has a clear idea in mind of what he wants his
squad to look like next season. He has asked the board for four reinforcements for next season,
including one goalkeeper, a defender, a central midfielder and a center forward.
He has asked the board to also extend Ariel Ortega's contract, however he has put in doubt the
continuity of Marcelo Gallardo and Matias Almeyda; The 36 year old and current captain of the squad
is a fan favorite and one of the most regular players in the squad.
