That was quick. Apparently if you want a contract extension at Boca Juniors then the way you get it
is by announcing you're leaving the club, and then turning up again at the Casa Amarilla the next
day to see what the response is. As a result of this strategy, Hugo Ibarra will now spend [...]
I can now embed the goals from Thursday night's Copa Sudamericana preliminary first leg between
Boca Juniors and Vélez Sársfield. Pablo Mouche opened the scoring early on for Boca, and Víctor
Zapata got a late but deserved equaliser for Vélez to take the tie back to the Estadio José
Amalfitani all square.
For any fan of Argentina (including myself) the current struggle of the national team to qualify
for the World Cup in South Africa is something that is becoming a nerve-wrecking problem. After the
latest defeats to Brazil and Paraguay, Argentina is now only on fifth place in the South American
qualification group, just 1 point behind Ecuador on fourth place, and one point ahead of both
Uruguay
There's a vital grudge match in England this afternoon as Liverpool host Manchester United in the
Premier League, and also today Indian football hosts a less globally famous but no less passionate
derby with Mohun Bagan taking on East Bengal. For a change, I'm not going to bill the superclásico
as the world's biggest derby [.
Following Newell's Old Boys' victory over River Plate on Saturday, the other sides hoping to keep
up in the race for the title had to win on Sunday, and two of them managed it. Banfield overcame
San Lorenzo 1-0 in Boedo for their first win away to El Cuervo in 13 years, and Estudiantes brushed
[...]
En éste momento Carlos Bianchi y la Directiva del Club Boca Jr. está presentando ante los
medios argentinos al nuevo Director Técnico del equipo más popular de Argentina: Alfio
Basile.

Next season's Argentines Abroad (on which note, the HEGS / MA Award winner will be announced on
Thursday) are swelling their ranks in the annual exodus from the banks of the Paraná and Río de
la Plata (the rivers of Babyl... I'll stop, shall I? OK). Rodrigo Palacio is finally leaving La
Bombonera and Santiago [.
Alfio Basile's first press conference in his new spell as manager of Boca Juniors revealed what he
was hoping for from his new bosses. 'I hope they bring me something,' he chortled. Well, Coco,
you've got to find a new way of getting rid of Pablo Migliore for starters, because Racing don't
want him back.
Boca Juniors hosted Argentine champions Vélez Sársfield in the final Copa Sudamericana
preliminary first leg for Argentina's sides on Thursday night, and took a very early lead through
Pablo Mouche to get Alfio Basile's latest term at the club off to a flying start. They controlled
the game thereafter with Vélez looking rather off the [.
Some news that's breaking as I go to bed on Sunday night: Néstor Gorosito looks certain to resign
as River Plate manager on Monday after his side's 1-0 loss to Arsenal de Sarandí, but now Alfio
Basile could well be joining him in the dole queue after he presented his resignation to Carlos
Bianchi in [.
I've been in Barcelona on holiday since Wednesday, hence the lack of action on HEGS during the past
few days, but before I left I still kept myself busy off-blog by writing a piece for ESPN Soccernet
on the managerial pressures at Argentina's two domestic giants, River Plate and Boca Juniors. If
you'd like to [.
Violando normas, mecanismos y protocolos, Benjamín Espósito, jubilado de un juzgado penal,
buscaba infructuosamente al autor de un asesinato cometido en 1974. Entrevistas, archivos y
conjeturas no daban más que nubladas pistas hasta que la decodificación de una carta lo pone en
ruta.
"El tipo puede cambiar de todo, pero hay una cosa que no puede cambiar.
I'm a bit late due to a computer issue the match is already 8 minutes old but is still at 0-0
presently. Open this post, and refresh periodically for sort-of-live-ish text updates on a
thoroughly middle-of-the-table superclásico. River Plate 0 0 Boca Juniors (8 mins) 8 mins: Shortly
after Nico Domingo drags a shot just [.
The scores and scorers of the weekend will be up in a few hours' time after the super, Tigre and
Argentinos drew 1-1 in Victoria and Colón then took over the leadership of the table in the
weekend's final match with a 2-1 win over fellow contenders San Lorenzo in El Cementerio. For now

In any profession it is one of the toughest moments one can endure. To see all of the hard work
that one has invested throughout the years now lead a person to a crossroads is a tough pill to
swallow. It is twice as difficult when an athlete has to leave the sport they love because their
body no longer responds.
I've looked at 2008 as far as the action between the touch- and goal lines is concerned
already - if you're struggling to remember, the Clausura review is here, and the Apertura
one is here. It's time, though, to take a look at how each of the clubs lived up to the suggestions
I put forward for new year's [.
That headline doesn't quite work as a pun, does it? The name of Boca Juniors' stadium means 'sweet
box', you see, and Coco is a bit like cocoa, which is chocolate, and oh never mind. Maybe 'Alfajor
Basile' would have been better? Hmm? No, alright then. On Saturday evening Alfio 'Coco' Basile was
convinced by [.
- A total of 15 players - five for the U.S. and 10 for Italy - were on the field for the 1-1 draw
in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Carlos Bocanegra and Clint Dempsey made their World Cup debuts that
day
- Italy coach Marcello Lippi is tied for the record of longest undefeated run as a national team,
going 31 games without a defeat to equal the mark set by Javier Clemente of Spain and Alfio Basile
of Argentina.
Don Alfio Basile will be Boca's new manager
Boca fell to Racing on Sunday, 0-3 and on Tuesday, Carlos Ischia was terminated according to the
club. But the coach said he had resigned (In Spanish) since he was to leave anyway at the end of
the Clausura.
"It made no sense to continue for two more matches.
Me voy yendo
Amigos de TM, el pelado Ischia ya forma parte del pasado del Boca, las 19:30 del 16 de junio será
recordada como la hora en que el PEOR DT DE LA HISTORIA de Boca firmó su recesión de contrato. La
dirigencia del club se dió cuenta tarde que esto no daba para más, los que dicen no sabe nada de
fútbol se toman más tiempo para hacer estas cosas y tardan en darse cuenta que no era el indicado
para el cargo.
Alfio Basile is Boca Junior's reinstated man and while he reminds us of
Ursula, he has vowed to restore the club to its former glory! Ursula walked into
the club's conference room yesterday and declared to the press : "I am delighted. I've
missed you.
Rosario Central parece decidido a olvidarse de la tabla de promedios y empezar
a ser protagonista en el Apertura 2009. Es el equipo revelación en este inicio de campeonato con
cuatro victorias sobre cuatro partidos jugados. Tras la salida de Kily González a San Lorenzo de
Almagro, los rosarinos se veían debilitados.
Another 1-0 win for the home side in the second all-Argentine Copa Sudamericana preliminary tie saw
domestic champions Vélez Sársfield progress to the first round proper after a 2-1 aggregate win
over Boca Juniors. Martín Palermo was sent off for the visitors for a violent challenge on
national side left back Emiliano Papa, and Jonathan [.
Even the presence of newly-crowned US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro - a
noted member of the Los Xeneizes family didn't bring Boca Juniors the
luck they needed yesterday.
Cristian Chavez scored the decisive 90th-minute winner for
Godoy Cruz as they defeated Boca Juniors 3-2 at the Bombonera stadium.
Lo dijimos antes del partido, el partido de hoy ante Vélez era una final sin campeón, un
partido necesario para que este Boca, que venía mal, golpeado, comenzará a
levantar. Y así lo tomaron los jugadores. Once leones que hoy dejaron todo en la
cancha, once jugadores que nos volvieron a dar una enorme alegría, una alegría que los
Xeneizes necesitabamos como el agua para seguir creyendo en este equipo.
Don't you love it when futbolitos do that to the camera? We do! And Nicolas
Gaitan has every reason to celebrate after scoring a brace in Boca's 2-1 triumph over
Tigre yesterday. Alfio Basile's men have been fighting hard this season so we
should stop calling him Ursula.

Tradición de Noviembre
Como es la costumbre en los fixtures de las últimas temporadas, la fecha 14 del Apertura se juega
en Sarandí ante Boca Juniors. Pero a diferencia de los campeonatos anteriores, hoy ninguno de los
equipos se juega cosas importantes pensando en el corto plazo (de acá a fin de año).
Road to South Africa
Was it ever really in doubt that the two time World Cup winners were coming to South Africa? The
answer is yes, towards the end of Argentina's qualifying campaign they came within one game of
missing out on their first World Cup since Mexico 1970.
