It's been another action-packed round of matches around the world, with Argentines once again
providing no shortage of highlights. Step this way for the latest on Lionel Messi's fine weekend
performance and some impressive contributions in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal ... Continue

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 →
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 →
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 →
Argentina's qualifying campaign for the 2014 World Cup hit another bump in the road on Friday
afternoon where, in the glorious Monumental sunshine, Bolivia took the lead and eventually held the
hosts to a 1-1 draw in the third round ... Continue reading →
In under two hours, Argentina and Bolivia will be contesting their third 2014 World Cup qualifying
match in the Estadio Monumental, and these are the teams that will be doing it. A late injury in
training yesterday to Sergio Agüero ... 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 →
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 →
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 →
Alejandro Sabella, after playing four friendlies of dubious importance, finally had his competitive
debut as Argentina manager on Friday evening, and it could hardly have gone better. Chile provided
tricky opposition and deserved more for their own efforts, but Sabella's ... 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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
A little earlier today, Argentina took on Nigeria in the second match of their South Asian 'tour',
in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They won 3-1, with two goals from Gonzalo Higuaín and one from Ángel Di
María. You can watch those goals ... 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 →
The twenty-ninth episode of Hand Of Pod is, as the milkmaid said to the parson, quite a whopper.
That's largely because Sam, Australian Dan and Seba have not one but two rounds of Torneo Apertura
matches to look back on, ... 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 piece is the first of a new 'round table' feature which will be appearing here on HEGS and
other Argentine football blogs across the internet. Every now and then (probably roughly every two
weeks) someone will propose a bunch of ... Continue reading →
The 2011 Copa América knockout stage started heating up on Saturday with Peru's 2-0 extra time win
over Colombia through two superbly taken goals, and got white hot a little later in the day with a
brilliant match between great ... Continue reading →
Argentina beat Costa Rica 3-0 last night, becoming the first side to score more than two goals in a
game in this tournament, and qualifying for the quarter-finals by finishing second in Group A.
After the game, Lionel Messi announced ... Continue reading →
Colombia beat Bolivia 2-0 on Sunday to finish top of Group A in the Copa América Argentina 2011,
and were joined in the quarter-finals on Tuesday night by the hosts, who finally played well and
won a match in this ... Continue reading →
Argentina's second performance in the 2011 Copa América they are hosting had to be better than the
first, or people were going to start getting angry. Well, people are starting to get angry.
Argentina were a side without imagination or ... Continue reading →
As kick off edges closer, now only just over three hours away, there's another preview of the Copa
América by me; this time focussing more on the Argentine national team and how they're likely to
line up, as well as ... Continue reading →
Sergio Batista announced on Saturday the three names to be cut from the 26-man preliminary list for
the Copa América. The Argentine press describe it as 'without surprises', but I have to confess
I'm slightly taken aback that Diego Milito ... 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 →
Sergio Batista has just announced a preliminary squad for the 2011 Copa América which starts in
Argentina one month tomorrow which will be trimmed slightly to 22 players for the final squad.
Carlos Tevez, after the amazing about-turn ... 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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
The thirteenth episode of Hand Of Pod sees Sam, Dan, Seba and Dan discussing things in a remarkably
sober manner. We look back on the USA vs Argentina friendly on Saturday, considering the
performance. Seba has a few words he ... 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 →
REAL MADRID forward GONZALO HIGUAIN will need to undergo surgury for his back-disc hernia. The
Argentine flys of to Chicago for the operation & will leave the Spanish Club "orphen" for at least
3 months. The question then arises if the player will be able to recover in time before the end of
the season & if he will be able to recuperate his agility.
