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.

A good day for Argentine forwards in La Liga.

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 [.

Ramón Cabrero has a little over two weeks remaining to get his charges ready for their first taste of Copa Libertadores action, but insisted on Monday that Lanús are up to the challenge of going head-to-head with some of South America's biggest clubs.

Lionel Messi's training with Barcelona during the week has gone well, and he's included in Frank Rijkaard's squad for Sunday's Spanish First Division match against Racing de Santander. In perhaps the only Argentine-player-related story that could have eclipsed that one, the Torneo de Verano will see a big moment for Boca Juniors later on Saturday: [.
