This isn't going to be a very complete Argentines Abroad post, because I've been very busy so far
this week, and of course Spain and Italy both have yet to get underway properly, but two of our
regular contributors from last ... 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 →
Hand Of Pod's two resident Racing fans are both on holiday this week, but Sam and Australian Dan
are battling on, insistent that their partners' absence is but a flesh wound, and are joined by the
one and only Joel ... Continue reading →
Hasta El Gol Siempre is back, ladies and gents. I apologise for the long absence of any posts on
here since the Copa América final, but I've been just as busy working as I was during the Copa
itself, if not ... Continue reading →
Apologies that I've not been posting on HEGS since the Copa América final on Sunday, but it's
been a busy week. Normal service will soon be resumed, honest. The twenty-seventh episode of Hand
Of Pod is our look back on an ... Continue reading →
The semi-finals of the 2011 Copa América are now over, and Uruguay and Paraguay will be the sides
competing for the title in the Estadio Monumental on Sunday. In this article for ESPNSoccernet, I
take a look back over the ... 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 →
As all readers will surely be aware, tonight at 21:45 Argentine time Bolivia will play the 700th
international match in their history. Of arguably just as much importance, they'll be taking on the
hosts, Argentina, in the opening match of ... Continue reading →
There's only one topic for this week's Hand Of Pod, and we make no apologies for that. Dan, Dan,
Seba and River fan Sam try to make some sense of what none of us quite thought would come to pass:
... Continue reading →
In the 24th episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, Dan and Dan discuss Vélez's title win on Sunday, and
offer their commiserations to Lanús. Sam gives an impromptu history lesson about Alumni, the first
side to dominate the Argentine top ... Continue reading →
In a special edition of Hand Of Pod, Sam and the Dans are joined by Ralph Hannah, an English expert
on Paraguayan football who was kind enough to drop in on us when visiting Buenos Aires with his
wife for ... Continue reading →
We had difficulty shutting up this week. A full 45 minutes of actually quite good stuff (if we say
so ourselves) was cut, and the podcast still comes in at over an hour. Diego Maradona is the focus
of much ... Continue reading →
For the 20th episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, Dan, Dan and Seba welcome special guest Asli Pelit to the

2-0 in ... Continue reading →
On Monday, Diario Libre reported, in their first ever edition, that River Plate playmaker Erik
Lamela had been bought by a management group, and is to be sold on to a European club at the end of
the season (possibly Juventus). ... Continue reading →
Those who are already avid readers of world football website In Bed With Maradona will probably
have noticed that it's relaunched this week, and I'm pleased to say that relaunch has prompted to
contribute something for them again. It's an article ... Continue reading →
In the seventeenth episode of Hand Of Pod, Seba rejoins Sam, Dan and Dan. He's not happy with the
way referees have been treating his club, and he's not afraid to make his anger heard, but a little
surprisingly it's ... Continue reading →
In the fifteenth episode of Hand Of Pod Sam, Dan, Dan and Seba discuss what we can only term a
startling revelation from Racing full back Iván Pillud. We round up all the salient points from
the Torneo Clausura in ... 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 →
In the eleventh episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, Seba and English Dan discuss the last decade or so of
Racing Club's history, and what it says about club ownership issues in Argentina. They also tackle
the thorny issue of ... Continue reading →
In the tenth episode of Hand Of Pod, listeners are welcomed into my new home with my flatmate
Katie, friend Jenny and of course the Dans, English and Australian, (Seba couldn't make it this
week) to discuss Javier Pastore's potential ... Continue reading →
In the ninth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, Dan, Dan and Seba talk about River Plate and Olimpo, the
league leaders who are also battling against relegation. The non-Argentines also field a question
on how they came to support ... Continue reading →
HEGS readers with good memories might remember that for several seasons, there was a very
impressive full back playing for Estudiantes by the name of Marcos Angeleri. He's ceased to exist
since the end of last year's Clausura, hasn't he? ... Continue reading →
In preparation for the second weekend of the Torneo Clausura, perhaps you'd like to give a listen
to the new episode of Hand Of Pod? This week myself and the Dans welcome the lovely Seba García,
of Mundo Albiceleste, to ... Continue reading →
Hasta El Gol Siempre turned four years old on Thursday. To celebrate the milestone, I spent most of
the day sitting indoors in front of my computer, recording one podcast and producing another, which
had been recorded the previous evening. ... Continue reading →
With Argentina's friendly against Portugal in Geneva just a few hours away, HEGS readers have a
wide choice of previews. First, if you'd like to remind yourself of the main players in the
Argentine side, you can get yourself over ... Continue reading →
With Argentina taking on Portugal in Geneva on Wednesday afternoon/evening, and the world's press
(and especially, it would seem, the Argentina, Portuguese and Spanish media) pushing the fixture as
a battle between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, I thought it ... Continue reading →
With the Torneo Clausura getting underway on Friday evening, and the 2011 Copa Libertadores about
to get serious, I thought I'd write a post outlining something which, if you're a HEGS reader, is
absolutely certain to be of interest to ... Continue reading →
It's transfer deadline day in England, and with numerous things still up in the air it remains to
be seen whether Blackburn Rovers really are going to secure the signature of Newell's Old Boys'
playmaker Mauro Formica whose move ... Continue reading →
