Lionel Messi had the weekend off, putting in a relatively quiet shift, but Gonzalo Higuaín scored
again as Real Madrid kept up the pace in La Liga. Elsewhere two Argentines got their hands on the
French League Cup, Martín Demichelis donned a face mask to return to action for Bayern München
(he'll be using it [.
First, for all those who are as big on detail as myself, I apologise for that headline, because
there's nothing I hate more than English speakers referring to the world's most modest, understated
football club as 'Real'. But why let that get in the way of a not especially good headline? Real
Madrid might be [.
I'm a little distracted with various things at present, not least the preparations for my move next
week to Buenos Aires. As such there's no Argentines Abroad this week, other than a congratulations
to Lionel Messi for that astonishing four-goal haul in tonight's European Cup match between
Barcelona and Arsenal, which makes him Barça's all-time [.
It'll be on the back page on tomorrow's News Of The World in the UK, but it's all over Twitter
right now: Carlos Tevez has reportedly handed in a written transfer request to Manchester City,
citing Roberto Mancini's negative playing ... Continue reading →
First of all, happy new year, HEGS readers! On Sunday the first of Argentina's clubs returned to
their training facilities to prepare for the pre-season of the Torneos de Verano and (for some)
Copa Libertadores qualification. The new year brings familiar issues though: Banfield are starting
to accept that they're likely to lose Santiago Silva, whilst [.
The first proper Argentines Abroad of the new year sees a narrow spread of criollo achievement, but
an impressive one nonetheless. Lionel Messi started the defence of his numerous player of the year
awards with a hat trick. His next goal for Barcelona will be the hundredth of his club career. In
England, Manchester City [.
For a change, Carlos Tevez had a quiet match in the Premier League, with Manchester City losing to
Everton (Pablo Zabaleta wasn't much better). Elsewhere though, Argentines were in form again.
Lionel Messi became the youngest player ever to score 100 competitive goals for Barcelona and also
the youngest to score 101.
Before we begin, a quick feliz cumpleaños to Gabriel Batistuta, the all-time highest goalscorer in
the history of the Argentine national team, who turned forty on Monday. There was no Argentine
action from his old team Fiorentina on Sunday (they drew 2-2 away to Cagliari), but a move for his
heir in the selección; after [.
A late and short edition, this one, made so by a combination of my writing commitments elsewhere,
and the running of the last round of the domestic championship into Monday night. HEGS has earned a
bit of a day off in one respect this website is three years old today. The weekend just gone [...]
This weekend has seen Juan Pablo Carrizo damage his cause in the battle for the national #1 shirt;
Internazionale drew with Germán Denis' Napoli, and Gabriel Heinze was involved in a war of words
with Real Madrid's sporting director Jorge Valdano. Roberto Abbondanzieri looks set to move from
Boca Juniors to Internacional de Porto Alegre.
A very late Argentines Abroad this week, because I was in Manchester over the weekend and didn't
get home until Tuesday night. One advantage of this is that we saw a very mixed midweek lot of
action. In England it was a bad night for Argentines in the FA Cup Pablo Zabaleta and Julio [...]
Lionel Messi returned to goalscoring form for Barcelona, whilst Carlos Tevez simply returned for
Manchester City and scored as well. Gonzalo Higuaín got another two for Real Madrid, Lisandro
López won a match for Lyon and in Serie A, whilst Diego Milito scored his fifteenth of the season,
Catania only had seven Argentines in [.
A truncated Argentines Abroad this week, because I'm typing this up late as ever but even more
tired than usual. The weekend just gone deserves some mention, though. Lionel Messi hit a double
but couldn't win the match for Barcelona, Javier Saviola scored a fine goal for Benfica and Jonás
Gutiérrez finally got his mask [.
There's no point doing this any more, is there? It's the same every week. It really is most
tedious. Carlos Tevez impressed for Manchester City on Sunday, Gonzalo Higuaín scored again for
Real Madrid, Lucas Barrios got another two for Borussia Dortmund, there were Argentine scorers
aplenty in Italy and Mexico, and Greece also saw [.
Oh yes. It's back! After a bit of a break whilst I packed to come away and settled into my new
hometown, Argentines Abroad returns now I've got some time and no jetlag. It was a less than
spectacular weekend for the usual suspects in the top flights of England and Spain, but two new
[...]
Very hard to put a proper date range on this week's Argentines Abroad, what with various leagues
running midweek rounds of fixtures as well in order to get their league seasons finished in time
for the World Cup. Carlos Tevez is rumoured to want out of Manchester City at the end of the
season, but [.
Estudiantes are the last Argentine club left standing at the quarter-final stage for the second

This weekend's matches didn't see a repeat of Ezequiel Lavezzi's brilliant chip last week from any
of the foreign Argentines, but all the same we've got some lovely goals and one frankly ridiculous
piece of trickery in the rain from ... Continue reading →
As I type this, much later in the week than normal due to the activity around the superclásico
