Sunday was Genoa striker Rodrigo Palacio's 30th birthday, so to mark the occasion, he scored a
tremendous backheel goal to begin his side's 3-2 win over Lazio that day. In the 10th minute, the
Argentine floated a backheel volley off a corner kick while running away from the goal, landing the
ball gently in the far corner of the net.

I know it's hardly a new look for Senor Palacio but the fact that he's now shaved the rest of
his noggin to fully emphasise that horrendous, erroneous braided 'Jedi bog chain' of hair means his
barnet is up for reassessment and yep it's still rubbish.

Turns out we're trying to get Cameron Jerome, again. At first glance, I don't see why we'd spend
over 3 million on a striker that scored 3 goals last year. Yet, when looking at it further,
Birmingham couldn't score (something Aston Villa is currently experiencing; thank you Alex
McLeish!), and we're in dire need of a striker.
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 →

the way, because after ... Continue reading →

Manic depressive Roma implode again.
Phillipe Mexes, Nicolas Burdisso, and Francesco Totti fire Roma into a seemingly unassailable
3-0 lead. But Genoa storm back through braces by Rodrigo Palacio and Alberto Paloschi to pull off a
remarkable comeback as the Romans fall to pieces.
There wasn't much Argentine involvement during FA Cup weekend in England, but elsewhere there was
