The title race gathers pace. At the top, joint leaders Banfield visit Independiente, who will move
to within three points with a win. Fellow pace-setters Newell's Old Boys are at home in the
clásico rosarino, perhaps the country's most passionate. Third- and fourth-placed sides both play
tonight: Colón are away to Lanús, prior to which [.

Over the course of the 2009 Torneo Apertura, the mantra of fútbol para todos has transmogrified
into something meaning that one easily embeddable, easily findable goal video for the whole round
has become increasingly hard to find. The closest I can find are the four videos embedded here,
which viewed in order will give you [.

Todos tenemos, como la moneda, una contracara, incluso los grupos, los equipos y los partidos. Y a
veces podemos ver una acción, hecho, circunstancia o partido como la moneda que baila en el aire
para caer de
cara o
cruz.
Los apostadores irán mayoritariamente a la
cara, que paga menos y
más probablemente.

a hard-fought win over the champions of South America, Estudiantes de La Plata, thanks to a goal

Due to the AFA's complete inability to comprehend that some of us are running blogs about their
league in our spare time from a time zone three hours ahead and rather enjoyed having not much to
do on a Monday evening, Monday afternoon and evening matches begin in earnest this week. Rodrigo

El Racing Club de Avellaneda no a tenido la mejor suerte en las ultimas temporadas pero hasta ahora
me pregunto que pensaban los dirigentes al querer contratar a Lothar Matthaus como su nuevo DT? El
tipo siempre a sido un dolor de cabeza para todos los equipos en el que a jugado y dirigido y
supuestamente rechazo la oferta de Racing por mensage de texto.

The thirteenth round of the 2009 Torneo Apertura ended on Monday night with a late, late goal from
Arsenal de Sarandà midfielder Diego Galván which clinched a point for El Arse after they'd
trailed for practically the entire second half to Huracán. Angel Cappa's team were thus denied a
third win of the campaign.

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 [.

Siento la demora, pero entre tanta emoción por gritar 4 goles de Racing en un mismo partido, no me
salÃan las palabras, además de sumar de a 3 luego de 10 partidos.
Y si, vine de España a visitar mi sobrino recien nacido y Racing ganó. La semana pasada le decÃa
a los directivos de TM que me disculparan por mi ausencia sin aviso, lo que pasa que soy esos tipos
cabuleros y bueno, sino que le pregunten al Coco o a Mostaza, ellos me entenderán seguro.

Confirmado en la noche del domingo (01.11.09), Claudio "soy más elástico que Bielsa" Vivas se
convirtió en el nuevo director técnico del primer equipo de Rácing.
Después de recibir la respuesta de los referentes del plantel ("a nosotros no nos preguntaron que
nos parecÃa el alemán, decidan ustedes"), seleccionar entre las carpetas presentadas por los
postulantes - Gregorio Pérez y Mostaza Merlo incluÃdos - y del 4-0 sobre Atlético Tucumán,
Rodolfo Molina y Pablo Podestá (presidente y vice) se decidieron por el rosarino.

The twelfth round of the Torneo Apertura 2009 got underway on Saturday, and I'm afraid to say,
following the midweek round of matches and the fact I was out on Friday night, that it caught me

Boca Juniors beat Chacarita Juniors by three golazos to nil (losing Juan Román Riquelme to a foot
injury until 2010 in the process), and Lanús dismembered Tigre in El Sur, but the big story of

in 17 attempts, with [.

Tuesday and Wednesday have seen some decent games in the midweek round of the Torneo Apertura, with

that came thanks to a [.

Intentare no ser negativo. No puedo ser negativo respecto a mi querido y maltratado club.
Lo de "Lothar Mathäus" me produce varias sensaciones, y muchas contradictorias entre si.
Es una jugada muy arriesgada la que se va jugar el presidente de Racing Club, Molina.

Barely has the dust settled from the tenth round, so full of action that the superclásico was all
but forgotten about by anyone reasonable, than the next round of matches is starting. It's a big

new manager, Lothar Matthäus [.

The goals from the tenth round of the 2009 Torneo Apertura are online now, but the people at the TN

The game of musical chairs atop the Primera División gathers apace. Estudiantes, Banfield and

San Lorenzo courtesy [.

Un par de consideraciones porque al dÃa de hoy sigo bastante caliente:
1) El DT agotó mi crédito, se acabó. No puede hacer un cambio tan cagon, sacar a Blanco y meter
a Pelletieri (el cambio era por Ledesma), una clara muestra de que se conformó con el puntito ante
uno de los peores equipos del campeonato.

Three teams are tied on twenty points at the top of the Torneo Apertura after Saturday's matches,

One fixture will dominate the weekend in Argentina in terms of the international attention, but
although it probably pushes Liverpool vs Manchester United into second place on the list of Really
Big Rivalries in the football world this weekend, River Plate vs Boca Juniors won't mean anything
at either end of the table this time.

We're now halfway through the Torneo Apertura, and two points separate 1st from 8th. How's the

Sunday saw Rolando Schiavi [.
