Saturday's matches saw Newell's Old Boys return to the top of the table with a 2-1 home win over River Plate in which, not for the first time, Diego Buonanotte gave the visitors their only joy of the match. A little later, Atlético Tucumán ended a run of eight matches without a win, thrashing Tigre [. Click to continue reading...

River llegó dormido a Rosario y en los primeros minutos ya perdía por la mínima. El Enano descontó y agrandó unos minutos al equipos hasta que Boghossian marcó el definitivo 2 a 1. El planteo de Astrada, sin Ortega y Almeyda, no funcionó y sus dirigidos no encontraron el camino para dañar a Newell´s. Click to continue reading...

The economics of the game in South America demand that the region's best players spend the prime of their careers in Europe.

Fans of even the most prestigious clubs such as Boca Juniors and Flamengo must savour watching their young prospects because as soon as they demonstrate an ounce of class they will be snapped up and shipped out.

I find myself asking it all the time: how old is that player? My last such quandary was over Arshavin (older than I would have guessed). Before that it was over Jovetic (younger than I would have guessed). When I' m looking up a player's age for an article or to settle a bet or for the hell of it and a date before 1980 pops up, my initial reaction is: "Wow, he's getting old.

Diego Maradona confirmed his list of players that will take part in the upcoming friendly match against Ghana in Córdoba on September 30th. The biggest surprise of the this list was the return of Ariel Ortega after a six-year absence. The River Plate captain has been out of the national team mix since 2002 after he was part of the disappointing Argentine side that was booted out in the group stages in Korea and Japan.
