Photo by guille rusconi on the HEGS Flickr pool It's a bit late this year, but with the pre-seasons well and truly underway it's about time HEGS explained the teams who will be changing divisions this year.

Caro le salió el berrinchito al guaraní Enrique Vera, quien al salir sustituido en el partido de la jornada 15 ante Tecos, hizó tamaño berrinche contra Chucho Ramírez por relevarlo, que el mismo Chucho Ramírez en conjunto con la directiva lo castigaron mandándolo a la filial americanista Socio Águila, que juega en la Primera División "A", cuadro que se encuentra al mando del uruguayo Cecilio De los Santos, ya vamos para 10 días de dicho encuentro y es hora que el entrenador Jesús Ramírez no le ha perdonado ese "numerito".

As promised earlier on Tuesday, I'm following up the (affiliated) lower division roundup with a quick look back on the positions so far in the Torneo Argentino A, and also attempting to explain how on earth Argentino B, which really does make the Primera A system of relegation and continental Copa qualification look like the [.

Los Pumas de la UNAM anunciaron la contratación de delantero argentino, Martín Bravo, que viene de jugar con la escuadra de San Martín de la Liga Argentina. La "Rata", como le dicen en argentina, marco nueve goles en el Clausura del torneo argentino, por lo cual el equipo de San Martín pensaba comprarle los derechos al [. Click to continue reading...

With the completion at the weekend of the Promociónes, the 2007-2008 season is now complete in Argentina. Racing, of course, are the most notable survivors of the relegations playoffs, but there have been shocks in other divisions with little-fancied All Boys winning the Primera B championship, and Nueva Chicago losing their playoff to fall down [.

My latest piece for Pitch Invasion looks back on the black weekend Argentine football has just experienced, and explains some of the issues behind the security operations, and what might be considered by the Argentine media in the coming weeks. There's also a really rather good photo (if I say so myself). Click to continue reading...

The circumstances surrounding Emanuel Alvarez's death whilst travelling to see Vélez Sársfield take on San Lorenzo in the Nuevo Gasometro are being slowly pieced together. In the last two-and-a-half days there has been, though, no shortage of disagreement about who exactly the killer was - an Huracán barra? Click to continue reading...

If you've got little to do today, and like looking at numbers a bit, make your way over to the recently expanded Tables page. There, you'll find the embryonic league table for the Torneo de Verano, as well as the final standings in the Apertura and the top scorers for that campaign - as well [...] Click to continue reading...

My initial intention was to post this last night, but illness put paid to that, so apologies to anyone who got excited when reading about the return of this feature on Sunday's post. Primeras C and D were still in action on the weekend of the 15th December, so step this way for the results [...] Click to continue reading...

As the least widely-read of the site's weekly features, I hope those who do use this update will forgive me for curtailing it during my few weeks 'doing' Spain. Scores will be given without scorers, but I'll try and include the normal links to the lower division scores as often as possible. In B Nacional [...] Click to continue reading...

The latest rounds of matches in Argentina's lower divisions are staggered and some won't be fully completed until Tuesday, but here you'll find the results thus far for B Nacional, and links to those from the other divisions (which pages will be updated as and when the remaining scores come in).

Primera A sees the clásico rosarino on Sunday as Newell's, without a win in three,� host Central, without a win at all this season,� in El Coloso del Parque. Vélez visit Racing and two of the newly-promoted sides meet as Huracán host San Martín. In B Nacional, Ferro take on Almirante Brown on Friday. Step this way [...] Click to continue reading...

It's that time of week again. Round 7 of the Apertura is upon us, with River vs. Vélez probably acting as the round's standout fixture, although it'll be interesting to see how Huracán get on under caretaker managership, as they host Gimnasia. In B Nacional, the theme is very much Mendoza vs. Córdoba, with Independiente [...] Click to continue reading...

Another round is over, and we've seen the last undefeated record in the top flight (Huracán's) fall, other promoted sides claim important points and a clásico that finished all square and left no-one really satisfied. Notable results in the lower divisions were Aldosivi's demolition job against Independiente Rivadavia and Talleres' win over Instituto in this [. Click to continue reading...

Midweek matches are very disorienting. No sooner have we recovered from the glut of goals in round 5, than round 6 arrives to dizzy us all again. This weekend's main clash in the top flight is the clásico between Racing and River, which is set to see mass protests from the home fans at the [...] Click to continue reading...

It's been quite a weekend whilst I've been away, with 25 goals, a shock win for one of the newly promoted sides, Independiente maintaining their 100% start to the season, a late penalty at La Bombonera and another good away win for Banfield. In the lower divisions, Belgrano ran out victorious in the Córdoba derby, [...] Click to continue reading...

The fourth round of the Torneo Apertura is upon us, as well as a fresh lot of fixtures in the lower leagues.

The lastest round of fixtures in the lower divisions are nearly all done and dusted already this week, only one game still to be played as this story went online, the Primera B match between Central Córdoba de Rosario and Atlanta.
