Alfio Basile has named his squad for Argentina's opening two World Cup 2010 qualifiers, at home to
Chile and away to Venezuela on the 13th and 16th of October. Juan Román Riquelme, despite being
stuck in limbo after failing to find his way to another club before the European transfer window
closed, is included, and [...]
Some might think it would be hasty to make such an assessment so early into the season (after all,
European leagues have only begun for a month or two) but it is interesting nonetheless to have a
preliminary look at how some of this Summer's signings are performing. Indeed, some managers (such
as Sir Alex [...]
No disrespect to Africa, Asia, and North America, but the two best footballing continents are
easily Europe and South America. The real question is, if you were to take the best players from
those two places, who would win? First, which players to use would need to be decided.
The South America side would be much easier to choose than Europe only because most of the players
would come from either Argentina or Brazil.
I've been reading about developments in this story lately and before today have just rubbished
them, but now it's picking up steam and not looking good for our world class defensive midfielder.
Apparently he is being accused by the Brazilian government of withholding taxable income when he
played for Brazilian Série side, Corinthians. Supposedly they could face up to five years in
prison if they are found guilty of the charges.
The sun shines brightly for the Premier League right now. The new season has kicked off without the
plague of TV problems that La Liga has encountered. The play on the pitch, so far, has been
exciting and much better than the slump we saw last Fall. The only negatives thus far have been the
controversial refereeing decisions with teams like Fulham, Liverpool and Chelsea -- to name but a
few -- having key decisions going against them.
Independiente lost their 100% record in midweek to Boca, and on Saturday night it got worse as they
travelled to La Plata and lost 1-0 to Gimnasia. Roberto Salvatierra scored the only goal of the
game four minutes after half-time - the first time this season that Germán Denis has failed to
score. There was [...]
If there's one match that I wouldn't even dream about wagering on this weekend, it's without a
doubt the Blues trip to Old Trafford on Sunday. There are just too many factors to ponder, too many
elements to consider, and ultimately, history teaches us nothing about what kind of match, nor
performance from either side, we should expect.
Taking Manchester United at home in the past is usually a safe bet, but they've been wholly
unimpressive there so far this season.
A dreadful pun, I know, and I truly am sorry for it. But the point is to put across that there are
quite a few Argentines involved in this week's first round of UEFA Champions League action. Among
the more prominent ones, Javier Mascherano's Liverpool struggled to a 1-1 draw away to Lucho
González's and [...]
The first two-thirds of the fixture list for this weekend passed without too much to write home
about, San Lorenzo picking up an easy win away to Central, Independiente brushing Olimpo aside with
ease and only Argentinos Juniors' 4-0 tonking of Newell's raising any real eyebrows - and even then
with the proviso that the [...]
