After a couple of months kicking heels and whiling away the time with friendlies, transfer rumours
and one or two actual moves, the wait is over. New boys San Martín de Tucumán will kick
off the Primera División A Torneo Apertura 2008 later today when they host Huracán. You
can follow the whole of the [.
Argentina's friendly in Cairo has just kicked off and whilst I can't help you with any updates, I
can give you the team. Julio Cruz gets the nod over Fernando Cavenaghi for the starting berth in
the number 9 shirt, whilst Lucho González is the captain. Read on for the formation... Argentina
starting XI vs.
Eagle-eyed perusers of the page tabs along the top of the site will have noticed the addition on
Thursday night of our new map. This has been put together by Bill at Bill's Sports Maps, and he's
very kindly allowed me to include it here as well because we collaborated with some of the
statistics [...
The full fixture list for the Primera División A Torneo Apertura 2008 has been released.
Thanks to Seba for posting the fixtures when they were first announced in a comment last
night. Read on for the 'HEGS-approved' official list, with all the clásicos highlighted.
Except the single midweek date, which is noted, all these dates refer to [.
Ladies and gentlemen, the world's best club football competition is upon us. No, of course I'm not
talking about the imminent knockout rounds of the Champions League, don't be daft. This week sees
the beginning of the group stages of South America's much more enjoyable answer to UEFA's
competition, the Copa Libertadores.
The 2008 Torneo Apertura kicks off on Friday evening, so I think it's about time for the annual
season preview, don't you? Long-time readers may notice that this is largely an updated version of
last year's potted histories, but I've added a few things - you can now find out how much I really
know [.
The publication of this editorial got pushed back by a few days because I was ill earlier in the
week not not up to spending too much time typing, but it's coincided nicely with the Arab new year.
We've got a few readers in that part of the world, so happy new year to all [...]
Oh, it's been a while. At long, long last the summer break is over, and I can get back to writing
about league action rather than transfer news and summer friendlies. There's been a lot of talk
about the new year's ticket price hikes - more on that at the weekend - but for now [...]
A couple of hours after Lanús confirmed their participation in the Copa Libertadores with a win,
Arsenal de Sarandí did the same in spite of a defeat. Their 2-0 home victory in the first leg
proved enough for the Copa Sudamericana holders, as Mineros de Guyana could only manage a 2-1 win
in Venezuela.
The goals from the first round of Torneo Clausura matches are online, and you can watch them all on
TN simply by clicking this link. As ever, HEGS makes allowances for the facts that you may not want
to see all of them, only the best, and that you might not know which shirts belong [...]
River Plate were using Vélez Sársfield's stadium as a home base on Sunday afternoon to host
Arsenal de Sarandí, but the match was almost called off after yet more trouble in Argentina's
footballing gangland. The civil war diving Los Borrachos del Tablón continues even with the
Schlenker brothers in jail, and today the conflict was [.
The first competitive match of the year, and thus a welcome return to videos of goals on HEGS. The
goals from last night's 2-0 for Arsenal over Mineros in the Copa Libertadores qualifying round
first leg are now online. Thanks to Celesteyrojo.com for uploading this one to Dailymotion.
The second round of matches in the 2008 Torneo Clausura is already upon us. Champions Lanús, fresh
from Thursday night's Copa Libertadores win over Danubio, visit Huracán on Sunday, before the two
'Junior' teams clash at La Bombonera. River, the only one of the 'Big Five' to win their opening
match, visit San Lorenzo's surprise [.
A quick note to let you know that during the 2008 winter break (that's summer for our northern
hemisphere readers!), the page formerly known as 'squad lists' has been renamed 'transfers', and
will contain a list, updated as frequently and accurately as I can manage (but please bear with me)
of all the ins and [.
Following San Martín de Tucumán's winning start to their first season back in Primera A
last night, it was the turn of Godoy Cruz to cause a shock, and not only did they win, they did so
away from home against one of the more impressive teams of the last few years. Two goals from [...]
It's that time again. The tenth round of the 2008 Torneo Apertura is upon us, and with it comes one
of the world's biggest derbies: all eyes on the Monumental on Sunday, where River Plate will be
hosting Boca Juniors in another superclásico. There'll be big match buildup on HEGS as well as
live coverage [.
On the eve of the Clausura, Argentine clubs have been trying to get through one or two last-minute
deals, with Independiente finally signing Freddy Grisales after much coming and going, and Andrés
D'Alessandro and Maxi Moralez being unveiled at their respective new (or in Moralez's case, old)
clubs.
It's an important weekend, this one, for a variety of reasons. Rock-bottom (of Clausura and
Promedio) Olimpo host fellow strugglers Colón in what might be a crucial game in the
relegation battle. Racing take on Tigre, whose manager Diego Cagna has dismissed concerns expressed
by some on the rumour mill that the officials have been [.
Here it is, ladies and gents: the final weekend of the Primera A Torneo Clausura 2008. River are
already champions, but there's still the small matter of relegation to sort out, and to that end
the weekend's most important match is the winner-takes-all game in Santa Fé, where Colón
host Racing. I'm in Nottingham on [.
The second round of the 2008 Torneo Apertura is almost upon us. This weekend, champions River Plate
host Rosario Central, last week's victorious newcomers to the division, San Martín de
Tucumán and Godoy Cruz, respectively visit Independiente and host San Lorenzo, and Boca
Juniors, who are in Barcelona on Saturday to appear in F.
The goals from Wednesday night's Recopa Sudamericana second leg between Boca Juniors and Arsenal de
Sarandí are now online. Just read on to watch them...
Time marches on, and thus arrives the fourth weekend of the Primera A 2008 Torneo Apertura. This
weekend sees another clásico as River Plate welcome former player Santiago Solari back to
Argentine soil - he'll be stepping onto the pitch in San Lorenzo's colours against his old club.
Racing have a tricky assignment: they're away [.
It's time for the most ridiculous international club football competition in the world - the Copa
Sudamericana - to enter its quarter-final stage. The uniquely television-obsessed way the
tournament is organised means that invitees Boca Juniors and River Plate will play their first
matches tonight, one round later than Arsenal de Sarandí, who are the defending [.
It's not over just yet. The Torneo Apertura proper came to a conclusion this weekend but so far we
only know the order of things at one end of the table. Yes that's right, it's official: River Plate
are rubbish. The top four all won - in Lanús's case in vain - so the title [...]
Take a deep breath everyone... COMPETITIVE FOOTBALL IS BACK! Arsenal de Sarandí played the first
meaningful match featuring an Argentine top-flight side of 2008, in their first ever game in the
Copa Libertadores. It was a good start, too - they beat Mineros de Guyana of Venezuela 2-0 in El
Vidaucto in the first leg [.
No sooner are we done with the week's continental action, than it's time to look ahead to the
weekend in the league. Sunday sees the year's first 'Big Five' clásico, as Ramón Díaz returns
once again to the Monumental, and will be hoping his team can finally score a goal. Early
pace-setters Vélez host Banfield, [.
Practically a triple-header coming up: we're about to go through three rounds of matches in one
week, because the twelfth round will come in midweek. This weekend, though, Argentinos travel to
Independiente following their win in Sao Paulo on Wednesday, Boca take on Central and River visit
Gimnasia de Jujuy - it's a very real [.
Here we go again. There's a bumper programme on Sunday and, due to the midweek action, only one
match on Friday night. Independiente get us rolling against Godoy Cruz. Sunday sees two
clásicos, one in La Bombonera, where faltering joint league leaders San Lorenzo take on Boca
Juniors, and the other in El Coloso Del [.
We're getting towards the business end of proceedings now. Can San Lorenzo regain the initiative
after they finally got back to winning ways last weekend? Can River start afresh under assistant
boss Gabriel Rodríguez? Will Tigre get the wins (and results in other matches) they need for
Copa Libertadores qualification?
At the time of writing, TN haven't got round to putting this week's Show de Goles onto their blog
yet, so instead, I'm embedding it directly into this page. Read on to see the goals, and the normal
running order, as well as a couple of links to the TN videos of goals from the [...]
River Plate were the only one of the 'Big Five' to win on the opening weekend of the Clausura,
with Racing and Boca both drawing and San Lorenzo and Independiente both crashing to defeats.
Carlos Ischia's introduction to competitive action was spoiled by a club he used to manage, as
Central proved ungenerous hosts to his [.
The goals from the fourth round of the 2008 Torneo Clausura are online now, and you can watch all
27 of them right now on TN's website - just click here. As usual, read on for the running order of
that clip, as well as my personal pick of the week's best strikes courtesy of [...]
The goals from Wednesday night's Copa Libertadores matches featuring Estudiantes, who won 2-1 away
against Danubio, and Arsenal, who got walloped 6-0 in Rio by Fluminense, are online now, and you
can see them right here. Danubio 1 - 2 Estudiantes de La Plata Fluminense 6 - 0 Arsenal de Sarandí
[.
No fewer than four clásicos this weekend, two between 'Big Five' clubs - Racing host San Lorenzo
and Independiente visit Boca - one sort-of derby, an all-Santa Fé Province clash between Central
and Colón, and a proper derby between two of the clubs from the zona Sur of Gran Buenos Aires,
with Banfield visiting champions [.
In spite of the appalling scenes prior to San Lorenzo vs. Vélez (which was called off) and
Huracán vs. Boca, most of the matches in the Primera A went ahead all the same this weekend. The
River vs. Racing clásico finished goalless, a result that just about keeps River in the early
phases of the [.
This weekend's fixtures see joint-leaders River and Boca host Arsenal and travel to Olimpo,
respectively. There's a relegation clash between Racing and San Martín which is must-win for both
sides, whilst the two sides crowned champions in 2007, San Lorenzo and Lanús, meet in the Nuevo
Gasometro.
The halfway point of the 2008 Torneo Clausura is almost upon us, with River and Boca the only
remaining unbeaten sides. The leaders host Tigre whilst Boca visit Jujuy - sandwiched between them
in second place, Estudiantes have the chance to take the summit of the table when they host
Lanús in the weekend's first [.
The goals from the fifteenth round of the Torneo Clausura are now online, and you can view them
(and unlike last week's, I promise you this link will work right away) right here through TN's
website. As ever, for those who don't know the kits or just want to see the weekend's best goals,
you [...]
The initial draw for the 2008 Copa Sudamericana was made at the AFA headquarters on Tuesday. Not all the qualifiers are known yet, but so far we do know that River Plate, Boca Juniors (both invited rather than needing to qualify), Arsenal de Sarandí (as defending champions), San Lorenzo and Estudiantes (qualified via the league) will [.
Having left a week aside for Gimnasia de Jujuy and (especially) Racing fans to recover from their
celebrations upon surviving, it's time to look back on another campaign in Primera A. It's been a
momentous one for a number of clubs. Racing's survival joy was doubled by news that Blanquiceleste
were out, River ended a [.
