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 →
Galatasaray look to be back in the hunt for Benfica's Javier Saviola. The Turkish club knows that
the striker has fallen to third choice striker behind Cardozo and Rodrigo. Benfica also look to be
leaning towards using U21 portuguese sensation Nelson Oliveira, Saviola could find himself further
down the pecking order, with the transfer window set to open in a few weeks.
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →

Back again to take a look at some of our players playing abroad. I will be adding Henrique and
Keirrison to the list of players to watch and will update about their Brazilian adventures as best
as I can.
Trabzonspor will take on SL Benfica of Portugal on Wendsday....
Turkish Super League runners-up Trabzonspor will play an away UEFA Champions League qualifying
match with SL Benfica of Portugal on Wednesday.
The first leg of the Trabzonspor v SL Benfica UEFA Champions League third qualifying round will
begin at 9:45 p.
The world of one part of Argentina's top two clubs, Club Atletico River Plate (referred simply
as River Plate in most circles) is on the brink of disaster. Having suffered defeat to CA Lanus
(2-1 at home) the club then faced the prospect of a two-leg playoff with second division outfit
Belgrano for a place in next seasons Premier Division.

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 →

It was 2:30 in the afternoon and I was crying.
Mind you, not like the dignified "Crying Indian" who sheds a single tear, or the stereotypical
strong-men of old westerns who cleared their throats and sniffled with a quiet poise.
This weekend sees Argentina face the United States of America in a friendly on Saturday, so this
week's Argentines Abroad acts as a bit of a prelude to that, in many ways. One player not included
in Sergio Batista's squad ... Continue reading →
It was an understated weekend last week for Argentines in the world's leagues, and as such I've
really only got some words from our contributors, for the most part. This post is late going up, by
the way, because after ... Continue reading →
He's not in Argentina's squad to face Portugal on Wednesday, of course, but Carlos Tevez celebrated
his birthday on Saturday with a first half hat trick against West Brom for Manchester City, and on
the very same day the world's ... Continue reading →
There wasn't much Argentine involvement during FA Cup weekend in England, but elsewhere there was
plenty to talk about. Another double from Lionel Messi this time late on was added to a Player Of
The Year award for ... Continue reading →
Or rather, 'Argentines in Spain and Portugal,' with a few quick additions, since there wasn't a lot
to write home about elsewhere aside from Carlos Tevez's goal in the FA Cup. Ben Shave and David
Cartlidge, though, are here to ... Continue reading →
