Gabriel Milito volvió a tocar una pelota de fútbol

La garra que el defensor muestra dentro de la cancha la está exhibiendo también en esta dura batalla por volver a la actividad; luego de varios meses, hoy se vistió otra vez de jugador, y su regreso a las canchas está cada día más cerca

Birthday Boy: Gabriel Milito

Barcelista 07 September @ 08:29 AM EST
Barca's other curly-haired centerback, Gabriel Milito, has been out with his knee injury for a million years now, and could well be out for a trillion years more, but we won't be forgetting him anytime soon! Gaby is in our hearts as he turns twenty-nine today, and with his birthday comes and interesting development. Click to continue reading...

TREMENDAMENTE MOTIVADOS 28 August @ 11:48 AM EST
Es conocida por todos la historia de Gabriel Milito y su problema en la rodilla que no lo dejo fichar por el Real Madrid hace unos años. También todos saben que pudo seguir su carrera en el fútbol español y sus buenas actuaciones en el Zaragoza lo depositaron en el Barcelona.
Gabriel Milito hoy ya hace mas de un año y medio que no puede jugar de manera oficial por su persistente dolor en la rodilla, y a pesar de haber intentado volver en mas de una vez, no ha podido. Click to continue reading...

LA CARTA DE GABRIEL MILITO

TREMENDAMENTE MOTIVADOS 19 July @ 04:27 PM EST
Gabriel Milito hace más de un año que no pisa un campo de juego. Una crónica lesión en la rodila no le permite hacer lo que mas le gusta: jugar al fútbol.
Por primera vez sale a hablar y publica esta carta en la pagina web del Barcelona:
"Aprovecho la oportunidad que me otorga el FC Barcelona por este medio para expresar mi profundo dolor por no poder comenzar junto a mis compañeros esta nueva pretemporada. Click to continue reading...

Where’s Willer? A Brazilian in the East

SoccerLens 14 July @ 08:35 PM EST

Summer in the east. After a short break in June which felt almost as long as the frozen abyss of winter, football across eastern Europe is underway once more on green fields and under blue skies, half a continent and a whole world away from the frenzied din of a Bernabéu unveiling. And yet something is missing.

Argentines Abroad, and Maradona’s first squad

Hasta El Gol Siempre 04 November @ 12:07 PM EST
The AFA will hold their press conference in a few hours' time to allow Diego Armando Maradona to announce his first Argentina squad (read on to see who's made it), and already there's controversy surrounding the nature of the appointment (not to mention the exclusions of three key players). Maradona declared on Radio La Red [. Click to continue reading...

Milito Worries Increase

La Liga Talk 23 September @ 06:30 PM EST
Barcelona defender Gabriel Milito could see his career in jeopardy as he has not been allowed to run recover appropriately from his ACL tear back on May 5th.  The timetable for his recovery was scheduled at about six months, but things look like he will return probably in February.   Argentine national team doctor Homero [.

Damn lucky kid

The Beautiful Game (2) 04 August @ 01:51 PM EST
Eli Pearl gets to play with an FC Barcelona superstar.
Why? Because his rich parents won an online bid for a charity tournament.
Sadly, Eli's family is from Argentina. So it's a pretty safe guess he'd love to play with Messi -- who's in Beijing with the Olympic team. Click to continue reading...

Argentines abroad: 19th & 20th April

Hasta El Gol Siempre 21 April @ 05:13 AM EST
Trophies are being handed out in some of the European nations already, whilst others could be drawing much closer in the next few days. Four Argentines have won the Greek championship (court ruling permitting); Lucho and Lisandro's Porto - who won the Portugese title a little while ago, apologies for missing that one - beat Angel [.

Argentina squad vs. Egypt

Hasta El Gol Siempre 13 March @ 11:05 AM EST
On Wednesday, Alfio Basile announced the squad of 20 players to face Egypt in a friendly in Cairo on the 26th of March. The squad consists entirely of Europe-based players, since the home- (and one Mexico-) based ones are in action next week in the Copa Libertadores and their domestic leagues. Argentina squad to face Egypt, [. Click to continue reading...

The best of times, the worst of times

Hasta El Gol Siempre 23 December @ 09:32 PM EST
It's been a mixed pre-Christmas weekend for Argentine footballers in Europe. On the good side, we had Gabriel Heinze and Fernando Gago included in the Real Madrid side who beat Barcelona 1-0 in the Camp Nou, and the irony of two ex-River Plate players, Julio Cruz and Esteban Cambiasso, scoring to down the side who [.

The foreign legion

Hasta El Gol Siempre 16 December @ 08:20 PM EST
With the top three tiers in Argentine football having broken up for the summer (speaking of which the lower division results service will make a belated return tomorrow for Primeras C and D), the main focus for Argentine fans this weekend was on their Europe-based players. In England, Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano found themselves [. Click to continue reading...

A mixed bag

Hasta El Gol Siempre 25 November @ 10:01 PM EST
One let-down on a weekend of generally good displays by Argentines in Europe, this one. On Saturday, Carlos Tevez didn't have the best of days for Manchester United, who went down 1-0 at the Reebok Stadium to Bolton Wanderers. Tevez having only got off the plane back from Buenos Aires the day before the match was rushed into [. Click to continue reading...

Hasta El Gol Siempre 11 November @ 09:10 PM EST
Alfio Basile has named the five domestic-based players who are called up to the Argentina squad for the two upcoming World Cup Qualifiers at home to Bolivia on Saturday and away to Colombia three days later.

Walking pace

Hasta El Gol Siempre 17 October @ 11:57 AM EST
Away in Caracas against a Venezuelan side who surprisingly won their first qualifier thanks to what some are calling the greatest free kick of all time, the selección may have been more concerned with getting the job done than with doing it in style, especially with so many of the players in for a long [...] Click to continue reading...

The big day arrives

Hasta El Gol Siempre 13 October @ 08:33 AM EST
Argentina make their debut in the 2010 World Cup campaign tonight, with everything prepared to be the main focus for the start of a ball-obsessed weekend for the nation's sport fans. On Sunday, the national rugby side will play the biggest match in their history when they take on South Africa in the Rugby World [...] Click to continue reading...

The FULL qualifying squad

Hasta El Gol Siempre 08 October @ 08:11 PM EST
So, it turned out on Sunday that the 18 names Alfio Basile gave us a few weeks ago weren't in fact the only ones to be included in Argentina's squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Chile (in the Monumental) and Ecuador (in Quito). I'd like to emphasise that there was no hint of [...] Click to continue reading...

The latest Argentina squad

Hasta El Gol Siempre 28 September @ 07:10 PM EST
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 [...] Click to continue reading...

Making history

U-AFA Champions League

Hasta El Gol Siempre 19 September @ 11:15 AM EST
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 [...] Click to continue reading...

Argentina squad vs. Australia

Hasta El Gol Siempre 28 August @ 06:45 PM EST
It's perhaps not quite right to refer to Australia as 'Down Under' on this site, being as how Buenos Aires is actually further south than Sydney, but nearly all the players named in Alfio Basile's squad for the 11th September friendly against the Socceroos will have to fly in from Europe, and the remaining one [...] Click to continue reading...

A frustrating day

Hasta El Gol Siempre 21 August @ 06:48 PM EST
Every cloud has a silver lining, and every bright day has some shadow somewhere (or uncomfortable mugginess, car fumes... you get the drift). Independiente star Daniel Montenegro came through training with no problems at all on Tuesday, but now El Rojo are going to be missing another big player, Leandro Gioda, for two or three [...] Click to continue reading...

Foreign legion

Hasta El Gol Siempre 15 August @ 06:50 PM EST
Julio Arca for Middlesbrough was the only Argentine involved on the first weekend of the English league season, on Saturday, and the country's representation in Europe for the season began in earnest on Wednesday. First of all, Barcelona travelled to Munich to play Bayern in the Franz Beckenbauer Cup, and somewhat more importantly (because it was [. Click to continue reading...

Another Kaka

Black Panther 25 July @ 08:52 AM EST
Props to Who Ate All The Pies on catching this one. It looks like Kaka's not-so little brother Digao will be playing with AC Milan this year. Milan signed the 6' 4" defender in 2005 but loaned him out to gain more experience. It's the only brother-brother combination on big teams in Europe that I know of with the Argentine Milito brothers having parted ways. Click to continue reading...

Bottling it

Hasta El Gol Siempre 15 July @ 06:08 PM EST
Play the best football of the tournament they may have done, overcoming early defensive worries to win all five matches en route to the final, and scoring sixteen along the way - but not for the first time, Argentina have bottled it against Brazil when it really mattered. It happened in Peru in 2004, when [...] Click to continue reading...

Next stop Maracaibo

Hasta El Gol Siempre 11 July @ 10:10 PM EST
It was anything but the walk in the park suggested by the scoreline, but Argentina turned in perhaps their most complete performance yet in the Copa América, riding their luck but staying cool and taking their chances well to sail past Mexico and book a date with arch enemies Brazil for a rematch of the [...] Click to continue reading...

On ice

Hasta El Gol Siempre 10 July @ 06:35 PM EST
It's been one of those rare weeks in which the rest of the planet have actually been made aware of something that's happened in Argentina. You're probably well aware by now that on Monday, it snowed in Buenos Aires for the first time in 89 years. There's some football talk going on as well though... Click to continue reading...
