It's been a week of big name moves in Argentina's footballing landscape, with three of the deals in
particular standing out. On Friday it was confirmed that Diego Buonanotte will move from River
Plate to Málaga of the Spanish First ... Continue reading →
Sergio Batista has announced his first Argentina squad as permanent boss, having been only
caretaker manager when he named the squad to face Brazil late last year. When Argentina take on
Portugal in Switzerland on the 9th February, they'll do ... Continue reading →
Lionel Messi scored against a José Mourinho-coached team for the first time at the weekend, in the
clásico in Spain, but he wasn't the only Argentine to notch a goal in foreign lands. There were a
few beauties in the Mexican ... Continue reading →
In early June, a side representing Argentina will play friendlies away to Nigeria (on the 1st, in
Abuja) and Poland (the 5th, in Warsaw). It won't be a full Argentina team, but it's infinitely more
worthwhile than the ‘local selección' ... Continue reading →
Long-term HEGS readers will remember that in 2007, 2008 and 2009 I ran an award to find the Best
Argentine Abroad according to my readers. This year, in an attempt to widen the voting, the award
(which in 2009 was the ... Continue reading →
The first round of matches of the new year have featured a few Argentine-inspired flashpoints, as
well as the news that Gonzalo Higuaín's season is officially over; an operation on a hernia will
sideline him for six months. Carlos Tevez ... Continue reading →
Those who can remember the events of around a week-and-a-half ago (or who can scroll down the page
a little way) will remember that Andrés D'Alessandro was recently awarded the 2010 South American
Footballer Of The Year gong. If you'd ... Continue reading →
Or rather, 'Argentines in Spain and Portugal,' with a few quick additions, since there wasn't a lot
to write home about elsewhere aside from Carlos Tevez's goal in the FA Cup. Ben Shave and David
Cartlidge, though, are here to ... Continue reading →
There wasn't much Argentine involvement during FA Cup weekend in England, but elsewhere there was
plenty to talk about. Another double from Lionel Messi this time late on was added to a Player Of
The Year award for ... Continue reading →
He's not in Argentina's squad to face Portugal on Wednesday, of course, but Carlos Tevez celebrated
his birthday on Saturday with a first half hat trick against West Brom for Manchester City, and on
the very same day the world's ... Continue reading →
In Italy, Rodrigo Palacio hit a double for Genoa in an incredible comeback from 3-0 down at home to
Roma, in which he helped his side to a 4-3 win. In England, Carlos Tevez helped Manchester City add
some gloss ... Continue reading →
In the tenth episode of Hand Of Pod, listeners are welcomed into my new home with my flatmate
Katie, friend Jenny and of course the Dans, English and Australian, (Seba couldn't make it this
week) to discuss Javier Pastore's potential ... Continue reading →
It was an understated weekend last week for Argentines in the world's leagues, and as such I've
really only got some words from our contributors, for the most part. This post is late going up, by
the way, because after ... Continue reading →
Argentines Abroad is up late this week in honour of an infamous anniversary; it's twenty years
today since Diego Maradona played his final match for Napoli, failing a doping test after the game.
Napoli's current Argentine star, Ezequiel Lavezzi, scored ... Continue reading →
This weekend sees Argentina face the United States of America in a friendly on Saturday, so this
week's Argentines Abroad acts as a bit of a prelude to that, in many ways. One player not included
in Sergio Batista's squad ... Continue reading →
Argentines Abroad is late this week because my birthday on Monday has ended up being celebrated in
some form or another for what seems like most of the week so far. It's well worth getting this
online now though, however ... Continue reading →
There wasn't a great deal of Argentine action last weekend, which is part of the reason this
edition of Argentines Abroad is going online so late. Carlos Tevez hobbled out of Manchester City's
Premier League game against Liverpool early on ... Continue reading →
In spite of not having done anything in particular this week out of the ordinary, Thursday night
has arrived and I've still not yet put up Argentines Abroad. I have had two contributions sent in,
though, from Spain and Mexico, ... Continue reading →
We've a new correspondent on Argentines Abroad this week, to give us a more in-depth view of
Italy's Serie A, in which there was some decent Argentine action this week. In Spain, Sergio
Agüero scored yet again for Atlético Madrid, closing ... Continue reading →
This week saw confirmation on Tuesday that two Argentines Carlos Tevez and Pablo Zabaleta will
feature in next season's European Cup; at least assuming Tevez stays with Manchester City, who beat
Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 to confirm a top ... Continue reading →
The domestic football season has now come to an end across Europe, and also in Mexico. Argentines
have been key to the denouements of leagues and cups across western Europe, so here's the rundown
of who's won what from ... Continue reading →
Hours after announcing his first Argentina domestic squad for the double-header of friendlies
against Brazil next month, Alejandro Sabella has announced his first Argentina senior squad. These
players will form the teams to take on Venezuela in Calcutta and Nigeria ... Continue reading →
This isn't going to be a very complete Argentines Abroad post, because I've been very busy so far
this week, and of course Spain and Italy both have yet to get underway properly, but two of our
regular contributors from last ... Continue reading →
That's not the best headline I'll ever put up on HEGS, I realise, but it is a fairly accurate one,
at least. There were a fair few impressive performances by Argentina's foreign legion during the
weekend just gone, as action ... Continue reading →
It was another packed weekend in which Argentines around the world had a big say in footballing
matters, so here's another dose of Argentines Abroad. Sergio Agüero hit a hat-trick for Manchester
City, Fernando Belluschi for Porto and Javier Pastore ... Continue reading →
This week's Argentines Abroad is late, thanks to the midweek round of matches here in Argentina
keeping me busy. Better late than never, though. As well as Lionel Messi's hat-trick in Barcelona's
8-0 demolition of Osasuna, we've got videos of ... Continue reading →
In the thirty-fifth episode of Hand Of Pod Sam, Dan, Dan and Seba begin with a discussion of just
how much of a massive idiot Carlos Tevez is, and conclude with a reflection on Cristian Fabbiani's
suitability for the second division ... Continue reading →
I've been unable to get Argentines Abroad online so far this week, but my normal contributors have
submitted their pieces as diligently as ever, and it would be unfair not to use them. So, if you'd
like to find out what ... Continue reading →
We've got a neat finish from Javier Pastore, Gonzalo Higuaín's hat trick for Madrid, some lovely
goals form Mexico and, um, a description of Jonás Gutiérrez's brilliant solo effort for Newcastle
United (thanks to the Premier League not allowing videos ... Continue reading →
Because I've had a somewhat disjointed week of deadlines not being what they normally are,
Argentines Abroad is going up ridiculously late this week. All the same, I did receive the normal
dispatches from France, Mexico, Portugal and Spain, so here ... Continue reading →
Argentines Abroad has been, to put it mildly, a bit out of sync so far this season. It's become
truly, monumentally bad this week and last, though, for a few reasons. For that, I apologise, but I
present here the updates ... Continue reading →
With the World Cup qualifiers approaching, it's time to take a look at how Alejandro Sabella's boys
and those he's not called up did in the weekend just gone for their clubs. Alejandro Faurlín
impressed in defeat in ... Continue reading →
As ever, there were a number of Argentine goals during the weekend just gone in leagues across
Europe. Oddly, there were none in Mexico this weekend (for the first time since I began accepting
contributions for this post!), so Tom ... Continue reading →
The weekend just gone saw as many crucial contributions from Argentines as ever in the world's
biggest leagues, and a welcome return to form for the usual suspects in the Mexican league after
last week's no-show. With the usual contributions ... Continue reading →
Deadlines for previewing the final rounds of the 2011 Torneo Apertura have severely hampered my
style this week, so without further ado here's a quick catch-up in the main leagues covered by
Argentines Abroad. In England's Premier League, Sergio Agüero ... Continue reading →
In England, the Premier League had a quiet weekend for Argentine action for the most part. Last
week's Hand Of Pod introducer Alejandro Faurlín featured as usual for Queens Park Rangers in a 1-0
loss away to Liverpool, and many ... Continue reading →
