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 [.

HEGS has lost a little of its news value lately due to diminishing spare time on my part, so as of
today I'm going to try and remedy that slightly. As Thursday turns into Friday at the start of each
round from now on, I'll be giving a quick rundown of some of the main [...]

Listo, ya está, después de ver al (¿otrora?) gran equipo de Lanús colgado del travesaño, no me
caben dudas que Central está muy bien.
No jugamos un gran partido, ningún jugador estuvo "iluminado", nadie pasó de los 6 puntos, pero
nos sobró para ser más que Lanús.

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 [.

The fourteenth round of the Torneo Apertura ended on Monday. Relegation strugglers Racing claiming
a hard-fought win over the champions of South America, Estudiantes de La Plata, thanks to a goal
from a former Estudiantes player. Estudiantes' city rivals Gimnasia tore Huracán to shreds,
running out 4-1 winners in a match which saw two superb [.

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
Archubi, found guilty [.

Due to December's Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, the Torneo Apertura eighteenth round
match between Central and Estudiantes de La Plata was moved forward to last night in order to avoid
a fixture clash later in the year for the South American champions. Taking their eye off the ball,
Estudiantes played dreadfully [.

Y si...también podría haber sido 1 a 0. Y también hubiese sido justo.
La crónica "objetiva" dirá que Estudiantes jugó mal, que tuvo mala suerte, que pagó caro la
rotación de jugadores, etc.
Total, no jugaron contra nadie...
Verón tuvo una mala noche (no se la dejaron tocar), los delanteros "titulares" llegaban cerca del
área y nada (les ganaron toda la noche, fueron absorvidos y superados por la marca), el medio
campo daba vuelta como una calesita y la defensa jugó para que olvidáramos a nuestros
"erráticos" delanteros (volvieron a fallar como siempre, pero esta vez quedó disimulado).

The thirteenth round of the 2009 Torneo Apertura ended on Monday night with a late, late goal from
Arsenal de Sarandí 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.

Al compás de la suerte, es cierto, Central cosechó un punto de mierda.
En nuestra situación el empate no sirve, no vale la pena festejar un empate aunque sea mucho
premio por lo que se dio en el campo de juego.
La verdad que ya me aburro de comentar un equipo que siempre juega igual, no hay sorpresas: tenemos
un gran arquero, una sólida defensa, un mediocampo combativo (donde cuesta conseguir un partido
donde uno haga diferencia) y una delantera limitada.

The thirteenth round of the Torneo Apertura sees the first weekend round to hang over to Monday

Estudiantes, Colón and Diego Simeone's San Lorenzo in the chasing pack. River Plate and Boca

Como siempre nos acusan de vivir del pasado, de festejar goles de otras décadas, de ser hinchas de
nuestros hinchas, etc. me voy a referir a algo de extrema actualidad: le ganamos los últimos dos
partidos disputados a Boca.
La crónica de mi colega Homero ha sido tan objetiva y certera que me revela de hacer más
comentarios sobre el encuentro.

Amigos de TM, la Banda de Homero se fue a Rosario para seguir de cerca a Boca, buscábamos una
victoria para seguir con la pelea por entrar en la copa 2010, nos trajimos una derrota pasada por
agua y creo que injusta, pero en este deporte no existe la justicia y para colmo el viaje fue
bastante malo.

Manchester United are in hot pursuit of Benfica's 21 year old Argentina midfielder, Angel di
Maria. di Maria has been tipped by national team manager Diego Maradona as one of the nation's
hottest up and coming stars, and his club form has put Sir Alex Ferguson on red alert.
di Maria has recently pit his wits against some of the Premier League's best as Benfica tackled
Everton in the Europa League.

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
out. On Saturday, champions Vélez hosted and brushed aside Godoy Cruz, before Racing Racing! gave
Atlético Tucumán [.

En la crónica con San Lorenzo titulé: "nos siguen roban la ilusión", porque no era la primera
vez en este campeonato que los árbitros nos perjudican.
Pero cuando hablamos de perjudicar lo hacemos de fallos definitorios, no "condicionantes" de un
resultado.
Un expulsado injustamente condiciona, un foul (que no fue) te condiciona, pero un gol en off side
es definitorio.

Ganó Ríver. Sí, sí ganó... fuera de casa, ganó. Y no se lo regalaron, ganó bien. Después
del triste e histórico récord de 17 visitas sin triunfos, volvió a ganar. Por primera vez en el
reinaugurado "Diego Maradona" (23.12.2003), donde sumaba 2 empates y 3 derrotas, para sacarle el
invicto que Borghi había construido.

Boca Juniors beat Chacarita Juniors by three golazos to nil (losing Juan Román Riquelme to a foot

Barely has the dust settled from the tenth round, so full of action that the superclásico was all

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

penal.

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.

Del puntero (San Lorenzo) al décimo conjunto ubicado (Boca) en el Apertura 2009 solo
hay cinco puntos de diferencia. Ya van 9 fechas del nuestro torneo, por lo que se podría
decir que estamos en la mitad del Apertura. Muchos equipos, a falta de diez fechas, tienen grandes
chances de pelear el campeonato.

We're now halfway through the Torneo Apertura, and two points separate 1st from 8th. How's the
AFA's playoff system going to work if everyone ends up on the same points total? San Lorenzo lead

Sunday saw Rolando Schiavi [.
