suitability for the second division ... Continue reading →
Sunday's matches in the Torneo Apertura began with another dull goalless draw, as Argentinos failed

We had difficulty shutting up this week. A full 45 minutes of actually quite good stuff (if we say
so ourselves) was cut, and the podcast still comes in at over an hour. Diego Maradona is the focus
of much ... Continue reading →

the crossbar to gift ... Continue reading →

Sunday's biggest match in Argentina saw Martín Palermo a goal from a brilliant header in his final

The fourteenth round of the the 2011 Torneo Clausura has arrived, and that, of course, means it's
superclásico time. Don't forget the Hand Of Pod preview episode. There are nine other games taking
place this weekend though or rather ... Continue reading →
One week to the day before they meet in La Bombonera in the first competitive superclásico of the

Monday evening's matches in the 2011 Torneo Clausura ended with Lanús fifth in the table, and Boca
Juniors and Independiente getting a 1-1 draw in La Bombonera that won't really satisfy either team.
Martín Palermo scored for Boca and youngster ... Continue reading →

Xavi,
Özil,
Casillas,
Valdés y compañía tendrá
su reflejo en las gradas del
Bernabéu, de
Mestalla y del
Camp Nou.

Ya están aquí. Los peores presagios se han cumplido (?) y nos enfrentamos a 4 duelos por todo lo
alto entre los dos colosos de nuestro fútbol. En estos días nos cansaremos de ver, leer y
escuchar a sesudos opinadores hablando sobre momentos de forma, planteamientos tácticos y guerras
psicológicas, planteando sus puntos de vista sobre cómo se desarrollarán estos 4 grandes
partidos.
The weekend's games from the fifth round of the 2011 Torneo Clausura are only getting written up

San Lorenzo in the weekend's clásico, ... Continue reading →
This weekend sees underwhelming Vélez Sarsfield visit high-flying River Plate (it seems odd to be

In the tenth episode of Hand Of Pod, listeners are welcomed into my new home with my flatmate

Verón, but his team won anyway, 2-0, thanks to Gastón Fernández and Enzo Pérez, the latter from
the penalty spot. Racing, meanwhile, took a ... Continue reading →

their stride. They visit Vélez, whilst ... Continue reading →
In the ninth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, Dan, Dan and Seba talk about River Plate and Olimpo, the

on how they came to support ... Continue reading →
San Lorenzo and Arsenal de Sarandí both got three points on Monday evening in the final matches of

table come the ... Continue reading →
Saturday's matches in the 2011 Torneo Clausura saw a surprise win for All Boys away to Vélez
Sarsfield which gives the Floresta outfit impressive at home during the Apertura but less so on
their travels another big scalp ... Continue reading →
Boca Juniors travel to Racing today for the first big clásico of 2011, and Friday hardly saw them
preparing well for it as an institution. At the end of a week in which Juan Román Riquelme
confirmed he almost definitely ... Continue reading →
The second round of the 2011 Torneo Clausura features a right old ding-dong in Avellaneda, with a
