Paul was right

Hasta El Gol Siempre 03 July @ 02:24 PM EDT
The octopus predicting Argentina's downfall was right. On Saturday, Diego Maradona's team crashed out of the 2010 World Cup, thrashed 4-0 by an excellent Germany side meeting their own first real challenge of the knockout stages. A lack of creativity ...

Hasta El Gol Siempre 23 June @ 05:41 PM EDT
Argentina's passage to the second round of the 2010 World Cup having been confirmed on Tuesday, the country's main concern during Wednesday's matches was who their rivals in the quarter-finals will be should they see off Mexico on Sunday. There ... Continue reading → Click to continue reading...

Hasta El Gol Siempre 22 June @ 10:55 PM EDT
Argentina confirmed their place in the second round of the 2010 World Cup on Tuesday with a 2-0 win over a very defensive Greece side in Lionel Messi's first match as captain of the selección. It took a while for ... Continue reading → Click to continue reading...

Greeks bearing gifts?

Hasta El Gol Siempre 22 June @ 01:05 AM EDT
Lionel Messi will turn 23 years old on Thursday. He's managed quite a lot already in his club career (indeed, if he keeps scoring for Barcelona at his current rate he'll be their all-time highest scorer six months before he ... Continue reading → Click to continue reading...

World Cup 2010: Argentina keep preparing

Hasta El Gol Siempre 21 June @ 01:50 AM EDT
Argentina will almost certainly secure their qualification for the second round of the 2010 World Cup on Tuesday when they take on Greece. They can afford to lose by five goals against Greece, and even then they might not go ... Continue reading → Click to continue reading...

Déja vu

Hasta El Gol Siempre 18 June @ 11:23 AM EDT
Argentina's performance yesterday against South Korea was highly impressive, and plenty of people have suddenly started suspecting they could go all the way and win the World Cup after all. Four years ago, though, we were in the same place ... Continue reading → Click to continue reading...

World Cup South Africa 2010: Catching fire

Hasta El Gol Siempre 17 June @ 10:55 PM EDT
Well, it's fair to say the sceptics didn't expect this. The noises coming from the Argentina camp about team unity and just needing to spend some time together look like they weren't just hot air on Saturday the selección ... Continue reading → Click to continue reading...

Maradona speaks

Hasta El Gol Siempre 01 June @ 10:55 PM EDT
Diego Maradona broke the Argentine national side's self-imposed media blackout (bar Sergio Agüero's infuriatingly over-exposed Twitter account) on Tuesday with a press conference two days before he'd been expected to call one. Javier Mascherano sat alongside him, mute for the ... Continue reading → Click to continue reading...

Friendly: Argentina 5 – 0 Canada

Hasta El Gol Siempre 24 May @ 07:03 PM EDT
First, apologies to anyone who saw the starting XI I posted shortly before kick off, and accepted it as gospel. I was copying it from Cancha Llena (La Nación's sports website) and they got it completely wrong (it wasn't the ... Continue reading → Click to continue reading...

World Cup South Africa 2010: Argentina’s 23

Hasta El Gol Siempre 19 May @ 03:05 PM EDT

Argentina squad 2010: who would I play?

Hasta El Gol Siempre 12 May @ 05:54 PM EDT
There were numerous lists before Maradona's preliminary squad of 30 was announced yesterday speculating on who might be included, and outlining who the author would include if they were the manager. Well, I thought I'd try something a little different. ... Continue reading → Click to continue reading...

Argentines Abroad: weekend of the 24th & 25th April 2010

Hasta El Gol Siempre 27 April @ 10:55 PM EDT
Oh yes. It's back! After a bit of a break whilst I packed to come away and settled into my new hometown, Argentines Abroad returns now I've got some time and no jetlag. It was a less than spectacular weekend for the usual suspects in the top flights of England and Spain, but two new [...] Click to continue reading...

De las canchas a la cantada para apoyar a Haití.

FutblogMexicano 21 April @ 10:33 PM EDT

Esta vez no se vieron las caras Andrés Iniesta , Diego Forlán, Sergio Agüero , Kaká y Sergio Ramos, para disputar una partido de fútbol sino para formar parte del videoclip "Hay Haití" , aunque los mejores cantantes no lo son pero el solo hecho de atreverse a participar habla mucho de su persona.

Argentines Abroad: 27th & 28th March 2010

Hasta El Gol Siempre 30 March @ 06:00 AM EDT
Lionel Messi had the weekend off, putting in a relatively quiet shift, but Gonzalo Higuaín scored again as Real Madrid kept up the pace in La Liga. Elsewhere two Argentines got their hands on the French League Cup, Martín Demichelis donned a face mask to return to action for Bayern München (he'll be using it [. Click to continue reading...

Sporting Lisbon 2 - 2 Atletico Madrid | Werder Bremen 4 - 4 Valencia

Livin La Liga 18 March @ 07:56 PM EDT
Virtuoso performances from David Villa and Sergio Agüero ensured the Spanish contigent of Atletico Madrid and Valencia passed through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League. On a night full of goals, Sergio Agüero provided two of his own, as his one-man show in the first half was enough to push Atlético over the line. Click to continue reading...

Argentines Abroad: 20th – 24th February 2010

Hasta El Gol Siempre 25 February @ 07:00 AM EDT
A very late Argentines Abroad this week, because I was in Manchester over the weekend and didn't get home until Tuesday night. One advantage of this is that we saw a very mixed midweek lot of action. In England it was a bad night for Argentines in the FA Cup Pablo Zabaleta and Julio [...] Click to continue reading...

Roberto Abbondanzieri looks set to move from Boca Juniors to Internacional de Porto Alegre. Click to continue reading...

Argentines Abroad: 16th & 17th January 2010

Hasta El Gol Siempre 18 January @ 07:55 PM EDT
For a change, Carlos Tevez had a quiet match in the Premier League, with Manchester City losing to Everton (Pablo Zabaleta wasn't much better). Elsewhere though, Argentines were in form again. Lionel Messi became the youngest player ever to score 100 competitive goals for Barcelona and also the youngest to score 101. Click to continue reading...

Copa del Rey: Atlético Madrid - License to thrill

Livin La Liga 15 January @ 10:01 AM EDT
Atlético Madrid are pure entertainment. The Jekyll and Hyde of Spanish football added another chapter to their colourful past as they achieved what no other team had ever achieved in Copa del Rey history; to come back from a first-leg 3 goal deficit. And in typical Atlético style, they did it hard way. Click to continue reading...

Argentines Abroad: 9th,10th and 11th January 2010

Hasta El Gol Siempre 12 January @ 06:00 AM EDT
The first proper Argentines Abroad of the new year sees a narrow spread of criollo achievement, but an impressive one nonetheless. Lionel Messi started the defence of his numerous player of the year awards with a hat trick. His next goal for Barcelona will be the hundredth of his club career. In England, Manchester City [.
