Sergio Batista named the 15 under-23 players to represent Argentina at the Beijing Olympics on
Tuesday, but what with putting up three other stories last night, I thought I'd leave it until now
to publish the list. One of those players, River Plate forward Marco Rubén, has now become
Villarreal forward Marco Rubén, in what [.
The AFA will hold their press conference in a few hours' time to allow Diego Armando Maradona to
announce his first Argentina squad (read on to see who's made it), and already there's controversy
surrounding the nature of the appointment (not to mention the exclusions of three key players).
Maradona declared on Radio La Red [.
After finally ending a run of six matches without defeat in a 2-1 win over Uruguay on Saturday,
Argentina followed it up on Wednesday night by losing to trans-Andean neighbours Chile for the
first time ever in a competitive match. It was a win Marcelo Bielsa's team thoroughly deserved, and
followed on from Paraguay's one-goal [.
Following the experimentation of the North American friendlies last week, it was back to serious
business for the selección on Sunday night, with a World Cup qualifier against Ecuador which
was expected to be a mere warm up for the midweek clash away to Brazil. It proved a little trickier
than that, though, with Argentina's [.
It's been an interesting few days whilst I've been away, and I hope I don't miss anything out of a
whirlwind summary: Saturday's superclásico in Mendoza was a thriller, seeing five goals and four
red cards as River avenged their 1-0 defeat of the Torneo de Verano with a 3-2 victory. On the same
day, [.
Brazil and Argentina convened for their first meeting of the qualifying campaign for the 2010 World
Cup in South Africa on Wednesday night, with Argentina aware that a win would take them back to
joint top of the table alongside Paraguay, after the Guaraní fell to a shock 4-2 defeat to
Bolivia in La Paz [.
Two transfers involving Argentine players are moving towards a definition at the moment, the more
solid-looking being Andrés D'Alessandro's transfer from Real Zaragoza in Spain to work under his
former manager Ramón Díaz with San Lorenzo. Ezequiel Garay, the Racing Santander defender, could
be on his way to Barcelona - or Lyon, or Real Madrid.
The Olympic Football Tournament kicks off on Thursday (yes, that is before the official start of
the Games, which is on Friday), and Argentina, as the defending gold medalists from four years ago
in Athens, will be red-hot favourites to retain the title, thanks in large part to an attacking
lineup that would terrify most [.
The Olympic Football Tournament is the one international tournament Brazil have never won (of the
ones they compete in of course, because obviously they've never been crowned champions of Europe or
what have you), and it will have to remain as such for at least the next four years. On Tuesday the
selecção met the [.
Sergio Agüero stepped into the limelight in Lionel Messi's absence on Wednesday night and helped
Argentina to a 2-0 win over the African champions in Cairo, after a tricky opening half gave way to
a more impressive performance from Argentina in the second. Without Messi and Juan Román Riquelme,
Alfio Basile's side were testing out [.
A good day for Argentine forwards in La Liga. Against Ever Banega's new club, Sergio Agüero got
the better of his compatriot, scoring the game's only goal in the Calderón as Atlético de Madrid
beat Valencia 1-0. Elsewhere, Diego Milito bagged a brace but was let down by his team-mates as
Real Zaragoza could [.
A little late in coming, but with two weeks remaining of the Torneo Clausura, which will be
followed by Argentina's final World Cup qualifiers of the season, it's time to list the nominees
for the second annual HEGS Award for Best Argentine Footballer in a Foreign League! Nominations
were very narrowly spread this season, and [.
Friday is the last full day of training for Argentina's squad ahead of the World Cup qualifying
clásico against Uruguay in the Monumental on Saturday. It's been a disrupted week for Alfio
Basile's men but on Thursday, Juan Román Riquelme returned to training with the squad. Things
aren't all quite to plan so far, though - [.
In my absence, Argentina finally returned to winning ways after six matches of forgetting what it
felt like. In the Monumental, in the clásico against their ancient cross-river rivals Uruguay,
Alfio Basile's side finally looked like a team again. It took seven minutes of the first half -
between the fifth, when Lionel Messi opened [.
It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, really. Sergio Agüero was man of the match as Atlético de Madrid
comfortably beat Deportivo La Coruña 3-0 in A Coruña, setting up two and scoring the second.
Fabricio Coloccini, who started for the hosts, didn't have the best of matches. Oh, and a Clarín
online poll which is [.
It wasn't all doom and gloom for Argentine representatives against foreign opposition on Wednesday
night. The selección kicked off against Mexico in San Diego minutes after the final whistle
was blown to end Boca's Copa Libertadores campaign, and made Alfio Basile's experimental 3-4-1-2
look like the most natural system in the world as they blew [.
The goals from last night's demolition job by Argentina against Mexico are online now, and here
they are. Argentina 4 - 1 Mexico
The votes are in, and have been counted. The trophies have all been decided now, and at most clubs,
pre-season training for the new campaign is getting underway. But the question on everyone's lips,
of course, is: 'Who has won the 2008 Hasta El Gol Siempre Award?' ladies and gentlemen, wonder no
longer.

It was second versus first in the Estadio Monumental on Saturday afternoon, as Argentina hosted
leaders Paraguay in the South American qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup. The selección didn't
look particularly hot in front of their own fans, falling a goal down early on after dominating the
opening exchanges before going a man down [.
Now, here's a surprise. For days, his departure has been a given, but on Monday Oscar Ahumada,
who's been arguing with River Plate's directors about his contractual status for over a week,
agreed to a contract extension with the Núñez club which will see him remain with the
champions for the foreseeable future.
The man of the past 24 hours within the Argentine national team was Ángel Di Maria. He was
being inquired about by Real Madrid and then Barcelona but he quickly quashed any speculation as he
mentioned that he would remain with Benfica. That would not lead him to to let down as the biggest
[...]
There are positions in the world that are very daunting to undertake and Argentine superstar Sergio
Agüero can have the distinction of being the most daunting player both on and off the field.
His gunslinging attitude on the field made him an idol fairly quickly at Atlético Madrid, but
it is his relationship with his current [.

Termina la primera fase de la temporada y el Atlético no tiene que sacar el pañuelo para
llorar. Tercero en liga, en siguiente ronda de Copa y en octavos de Champions. Mucho más que
su vecino, que anda arrastrándose por las dos competiciones en las que aún está. Va
a resultar que el proyecto colchonero [.
A todos los amantes del fútbol que nos siguen les queremos desear una Feliz Navidad. A todos
los que nos han ayudado a Liga Fútbol a crecer cada día les deseamos todo lo mejor en
estas señaladas fechas. Nos sentimos muy orgullosos de lo que hemos conseguido en este
año, el de nuestra creación, en el [.
The Argentine national side arrived in Cairo on Monday in preparation for Wednesday's friendly
against African champions Egypt minus Esteban Cambiasso, who has an injury in his left leg. The
squad got straight to work in the gym of the their hotel, whilst manager Alfio Basile gave a press
conference.

Sergio Agüero has been named the best Latin American player in the Spanish league for 2008,
succeeding his countryman Lionel Messi and becoming the sixth Argentine to win the award. The EFE
Trophy was presented to the Atlético de Madrid forward on Monday at a gala in Madrid's House
of The Americas.
The first thing to do, of course, is remind everyone that nominations are open for the HEGS Award
for Best Argentine Football in a Foreign League. Email your chosen one to sam@hastaelgolsiempre.com
with 'HEGS Award' in the subject line (unless you already have, obviously). There were two major
triumphs for Argentine players in the weekend just [.
A quick reminder that just over one week remains before the voting closes for the HEGS Award for
Best Argentine Footballer in a Foreign League 2007-2008. The last votes will be counted at midnight
on the Monday after the end of the Clausura - which means you've got nine days from when this post
goes [.
