Just more passionate fans, eh?

Hasta El Gol Siempre 19 March @ 07:25 PM EDT
One or two of the comments on my most recent Soccernet article suggest that Argentina's barra bravas are no more than choreographed fans who are more passionate about the game than typical English fans who turn up to the game and eat prawn sandwiches without looking at the pitch (that's a typical English fan, apparently).

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 10 fixtures

Hasta El Gol Siempre 19 March @ 08:00 AM EDT
At the start of every torneo corto, I know I'm going to get at least two or three emails from prospective holiday-makers in Buenos Aires asking 'when's the superclásico happening?' and so it is that this weekend, the most eagerly-awaited fixture in the Argentine domestic calendar will dominate the proceedings.

A couple of goal videos

Hasta El Gol Siempre 17 March @ 10:37 PM EDT
Tuesday night's second match concerning an Argentine side in the Copa Libertadores ended too late for me to get the goal video online, so here you can find highlights of Vélez Sársfield's 1-1 draw away to Chile's Colo-Colo. Vélez got a point thanks to a late equaliser in spite of a dubiously disallowed effort from [. Click to continue reading...

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 9 scores and scorers

Hasta El Gol Siempre 14 March @ 11:05 PM EDT
River Plate and Boca Juniors had contrasting warm-ups at the weekend to next week's superclásico. River not only won a match but kept a clean sheet against Huracán, and shortly afterwards Carlos 'Chino' Luna gave Boca the runaround, finishing with a hat trick as Tigre beat their illustrious visitors 3-0.

Clausura 2010: round 9 Saturday goals

Hasta El Gol Siempre 13 March @ 11:46 PM EDT
Saturday's matches in the ninth round of the 2010 Torneo Clausura saw Independiente return to the top of the table after Godoy Cruz took the overnight lead, Estudiantes beat Newell's thanks to goals from Roselli and Boselli (the first of whom was playing for the visitors but scored in his own net), and then two [.

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 9 fixtures

Hasta El Gol Siempre 12 March @ 06:30 AM EDT
This weekend begins with leaders Vélez hosting struggling Lanús, and ends on Sunday evening when Argentinos Juniors visit El Cilindro take on Racing. Boca play Tigre hard to believe that under 18 months ago this was a title-decider and Estudiantes, fresh back from their latest Copa Libertadores exploits in Bolivia, are at home [.

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 8 scores and scorers

Hasta El Gol Siempre 08 March @ 11:23 PM EDT
Monday's matches saw home wins for San Lorenzo and Arsenal, and a 1-1 draw between Gimnasia La Plata and Rosario Central.

Clausura 2010: (most of?) the round 8 Sunday goals

Hasta El Gol Siempre 07 March @ 10:02 PM EDT
As I type Atlético Tucumán vs Banfield is goalless during the second half, and I won't be staying up late enough to wait for the goal videos to go online. Earlier on Sunday, though, there've been a few already, in steadily decreasing numbers. The day's first match, between Huracán and Tigre, saw five with [. Click to continue reading...

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 8 fixtures

Hasta El Gol Siempre 06 March @ 09:45 AM EDT
The 2010 Torneo Clausura gathers apace. Round 7 finished on Thursday, and round 8 begins today with a clásico as Racing visit Boca in La Bombonera. Nearly halfway through the championship, the mendocinos of Godoy Cruz still lead the table (!), and they visit Newell's Old Boys, who with a win and the right results [. Click to continue reading...

Torneo Clausura 2010: the rest of the round 7 goals

Hasta El Gol Siempre 05 March @ 07:55 PM EDT
Apologies that these didn't go up sooner. The national side's match and my not getting home until very late indeed a couple of nights running put paid to being able to maintain HEGS as well as I would've liked for a few days. Now, at least, the goals from the remaining eight midweek league matches [. Click to continue reading...

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 7 scores and scorers

Hasta El Gol Siempre 04 March @ 10:56 PM EDT
In Thursday evening's clásico, River Plate beat San Lorenzo to record their first win since the second round, thanks to a finish from teenager Facundo Affranchino with quarter of an hour remaining. Banfield beat Colón 3-1 with Rubén Ramírez hitting two fine goals, Gimnasia won away to Chacarita Juniors and Atlético Tucumán vs Newell's finished [. Click to continue reading...

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 7 fixtures

Hasta El Gol Siempre 02 March @ 10:40 PM EDT
The late night caused by typing up Tuesday's Argentines Abroad post got the better of me, and I totally forgot to put up details of the seventh round of the Torneo Clausura, which is being played in midweek. Tuesday's matches were generally high-scoring, with Racing's agonising 1-1 draw against Huracán (who, as I type, have [. Click to continue reading...

Clausura 2010: round 6 Sunday goals

Hasta El Gol Siempre 01 March @ 05:23 PM EDT
The goals from Sunday's matches in the sixth round of the 2010 Torneo Clausura are now online, completing the weekend's action for us. San Lorenzo finally scored at the death against Tigre, River Plate got a late equaliser after heavy pressure on the Gimnasia defence, Godoy Cruz claimed an away win over Argentinos [.

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 6 scores and scorers

Hasta El Gol Siempre 28 February @ 10:39 PM EDT
The clásico fell Independiente's way in spite of a better than usual performance from Racing; some people's luck never changes. The semi-clásico between Huracán and Vélez went the way of El Globo this time, to put a spanner in the impressive start to the year the visitors have made. Diego Simeone upset a few people [.

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 6 fixtures

Hasta El Gol Siempre 26 February @ 07:30 AM EDT
The biggest match of the weekend takes place on Saturday, when Racing travel the couple of hundred yards to the new Estadio Libertadores de América to take on Independiente in the clásico de Avellaneda. Boca Juniors, bizarrely, are in action on Friday night, against Estudiantes. Joint leaders Vélez and Colón are away to Huracán and [. Click to continue reading...

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 5 scores and scorers

Hasta El Gol Siempre 23 February @ 10:31 AM EDT
There were plenty of draws in the fifth round of the 2010 Torneo Clausura, with only Friday offering goals in any real measure, but here you can see the heroes and villains from all the fixtures, including a not-so-happy 18th anniversary for Matías Almeyda who was (he thought harshly) sent off on the day his [.

Clausura 2010: Round 5 Saturday goals

Hasta El Gol Siempre 21 February @ 10:21 AM EDT
Saturday's three matches were all played out in binary, with only San Lorenzo bucking an already dull trend by failing to score altogether. That failure gave Racing, in Miguel Angel Russo's first match in charge, a 1-0 win in El Cilindro which didn't entirely satisfy the new boss; 'We still need to generate more play,' [.

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 5 fixtures

Hasta El Gol Siempre 19 February @ 06:45 AM EDT
This weekend sees Racing take on San Lorenzo in the year's first competitive clásico between members of the cinco grandes. Also coming up in the next few days, champions Banfield host Rosario Central, Gimnasia visit Tigre and on Monday night an Estudiantes side smarting from last night's thrashing in the Copa Libertadores will be looking [.

Torneo Clausura 2010: round 4 scores and scorers

Hasta El Gol Siempre 15 February @ 10:33 PM EDT
Monday night's match between Argentinos Juniors and Newell's Old Boys in La Paternal was called off 28 minutes into the second half due to truly torrential rain making the pitch completely unplayable (not to mention rendering the TV cameras near blind). It's another postponed game for Argentinos, who already have to play 82 minutes of [. Click to continue reading...

Copa Libertadores preview

Hasta El Gol Siempre 13 February @ 07:11 AM EDT
I'm a little late linking to this, but better late than never, as they say. I've been busy this week writing a preview of the 2010 Copa Libertadores, and you can read it right now, simply by clicking this link, which will take you to ESPN's Soccernet. It examines the big names in Brazil, the [...] Click to continue reading...

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 4 fixtures

Hasta El Gol Siempre 12 February @ 07:30 AM EDT
It's all go in Argentina, with not so much as a day's break from football since last Friday, and now the domestic league recommences after the midweek Copa Libertadores action. This weekend, Banfield host Lanús in the clásico del Sur, Racing visit Gimnasia in a critical relegation clash, and San Lorenzo vs Vélez is the [. Click to continue reading...

Copa Libertadores 2010 and Argentina B vs Jamaica: Wednesday night goal videos

Hasta El Gol Siempre 11 February @ 07:55 PM EDT
Wednesday night was a football-packed one, but I spent a fair bit of it finishing off a Copa Libertadores preview piece for Soccernet so didn't have time to get the goal videos up right after the games. Argentina's home-based squad played Jamaica in a friendly in Mar del Plata, and after falling a goal behind [. Click to continue reading...

Torneo Clausura 2010: round 3 scores and scorers

Hasta El Gol Siempre 08 February @ 11:46 PM EDT
Having stayed up too late tonight waiting to be able to type this post up, the four teams in action on Monday were most inconsiderate to England-based Argentine football bloggers by not bothering to score a single bloody one between them. Godoy Cruz join Vélez at the top of the infant Clausura table on seven [. Click to continue reading...

Picking up where they left off

Hasta El Gol Siempre 07 February @ 11:58 AM EDT
Both Boca Juniors and Newell's Old Boys hit the same form on Saturday night that they enjoyed (or endured) during the Torneo Apertura, on a high-scoring day in the Argentine top flight. Boca managed two consolations but ended up slumping to a 4-2 defeat in Rosario thanks to defending as bad as anything they managed [. Click to continue reading...

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 3 fixtures

Hasta El Gol Siempre 05 February @ 11:38 PM EDT
The third round of the 2010 Torneo Clausura begins a day later than usual this weekend, due to the midweek matches for the second round. It will run from Saturday afternoon until Monday night, and at the end of it a league table will hopefully be up on HEGS for the first time in far [...] Click to continue reading...

Hasta El Gol Siempre 04 February @ 11:33 PM EDT
The second round of matches for the Torneo Clausura finished on Thursday night with Independiente claiming a 3-1 win at home to Atlético Tucumán. Earlier in the day, San Lorenzo lost to Godoy Cruz, who got the only goal of the game in Boedo, and River Plate combined goalscoring verve with familiar late defensive lapses [.

Torneo Clausura 2010: Round 2 fixtures

Hasta El Gol Siempre 02 February @ 10:30 AM EDT
The second round of the Torneo Clausura is upon us already, played in midweek so as to get ahead on things with the Copa Libertadores coming up and the need to finish the championship in time for the break prior to the World Cup. Estudiantes take on Gimnasia in the clásico platense on Wednesday, Racing [. Click to continue reading...

Hasta El Gol Siempre 31 January @ 11:07 PM EDT
The goal videos from both Saturday's and Sunday's matches will be online on Monday evening Saturday's haven't been posted here yet because I've had a rather dislocated weekend. The weekend's games saw the champions start where they left off or rather not, since Banfield's title was won in spite of a loss in [. Click to continue reading...

Hasta El Gol Siempre 29 January @ 07:00 AM EDT
The first round of matches in the 2010 Torneo Clausura is upon us tonight, at last. A full preview of the tournament will follow over or shortly after the weekend I've been tied up during the week writing about Salvador Cabañas's shooting in Mexico (HEGS naturally wishes him well).

Argentina A 3 – 2 Costa Rica: the goals

Hasta El Gol Siempre 27 January @ 07:55 PM EDT
On Tuesday night a home-based Argentina squad took on Costa Rica's national team in a friendly which saw Diego Maradona's return to footballing involvement following his two month touchline ban (who noticed?). The match was won 3-2 by Argentina, with goals from José Sosa, Guillermo Burdisso and Franco Jara for the hosts. Click to continue reading...

Hasta El Gol Siempre 27 December @ 02:43 PM EDT
The fixtures for the 2010 Torneo Clausura have been available on the AFA's website for a couple of weeks, but now the Apertura is well over and there's precious little else going on, it seems an appropriate time to post them up in English here.

Torneo Apertura 2009 in review

Hasta El Gol Siempre 20 December @ 10:32 PM EDT
The Torneo Apertura started in chaos, with no-one sure which TV channels games would be screened on and many finding it so difficult to find just one title contender that Boca Juniors, of all teams, were held up by some commentators as the most likely candidates (I'd never make a silly mistake like that of [.

Torneo Apertura 2009: round 19 scores, scorers and Monday goal

Hasta El Gol Siempre 15 December @ 07:55 PM EDT
I really needed an early night on Monday, which is why the full scores from the final round of a wonderful Torneo Apertura didn't go up as usual right after the last match. Monday's two games saw only one goal Atlético Tucumán beat Gimnasia but you can watch it here all the same. [...] Click to continue reading...

Torneo Apertura 2009: round 19 Sunday goals

Hasta El Gol Siempre 14 December @ 06:35 PM EDT
Sunday's matches were orderly in scoreline if nothing else: there were four 2-0 scorelines, all but one of those going to the away side (Boca, who beat Banfield 2-0, were the only home victors but their victims didn't care because they took the title anyway). Vélez Sársfield vs Rosario Central was the sole exception [. Click to continue reading...

¡Banfield campeón!

Hasta El Gol Siempre 13 December @ 06:39 PM EDT
In the Estadio Florencia Sola they're celebrating along with those in the upper tier of La Bombonera. Banfield may have lost to Boca Juniors, but for the first time in their 113 year history, they're champions of Argentina thanks to San Lorenzo's 2 0 win away to Newell's Old Boys which ended the lingering [.

Torneo Apertura 2009: round 19 fixtures

Hasta El Gol Siempre 12 December @ 06:12 PM EDT
The final round of the 2009 Torneo Apertura will see the title decided along with the final Copa Libertadores qualification place. Banfield visit Boca Juniors at the same time as Newell's host San Lorenzo, with Banfield two points ahead of the rosarinos at present. If they finish level on points, a playoff will decide the [.

Torneo Apertura 2009: round 18 scores and scorers

Hasta El Gol Siempre 10 December @ 10:41 PM EDT
The title race is going to the wire (both Banfield and Newell's will kick off at 17:00 local time on Sunday), as is the final Copa Libertadores spot. Midweek rounds in the Argentine domestic league always seem to be low scoring (maybe it's just my imagination, but...), and the highest scoring match this week was [. Click to continue reading...

Don't worry, Argentines Abroad (or a curtailed version of it) will be online at some point later in the week, but the pressing issue for now is that the penultimate round of the Torneo Apertura takes place in midweek. Banfield play after Newell's and Pablo Lunati, who refereed and gave some dodgy decisions against [. Click to continue reading...
