There is no “news” to report. Nestor Gorosito, after 8 road matches at the helm of our beloved Bicho, has not won a single match. On the plus side, he only has to lead the team in to the bombonera to face Boca Juniors on Sunday… Read the rest of this entry »

It’s back! Finally, after two seemingly endless months of nothingness, our brave boys will be taking the field again tomorrow afternoon for the first match of the Clausura 2008 in San Juan against San Martin de San Juan. It will be a riveting attempt at payback for a highly disappointing 1-0 loss in Matchday 1 of the last tournament.
Remember us? Well, we remember you.

Estudiantes de La Plata, who as recently as one year ago was on a magical run to a championship under the leadership of Juan Sebastian Verón and Diego Simeone, will play host to Argentinos on Sunday night. The team has changed significantly since then, but they still present a danger to any team. Read the rest of this entry »
Category: PreviewNo surprise, really (Argentinos 4 - River Plate 1)

River Plate, one of the most successful clubs in all of soccer took the field at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Wednesday against Argentinos Juniors. People who are not very familiar with Argentine soccer might have perceived this as a match that River would be expected to win. Other things should be taken into consideration (and would have been taken into consideration here if I had gotten to the computer and made a preview). River had been coming off of two hard-fought matches in the previous eight days, as Gonzalo has described here and here and have The Only Match That Matters looming on Sunday, so fatigue and resting the right players for the most important matches were key factors. More importantly, River Plate has not won in Argentinos’ stadium in six years. Six years. River is always among the top clubs, Argentinos always striving for mediocrity. Yet it has been six years since Argentinos has given ground in the matchup. Read the rest of this entry »

This post is way overdue. I have been lazy, time has passed, and this post is now old news. However, I doubt that anyone reading this post has been filled in on the finer points of this pivotal, pivotal match and those finer points are quite interesting and important. Read the rest of this entry »

On Sunday afternoon, our boys will trek west, to the edge of town, to take on the most recent champions of Argentina–San Lorenzo de Almagro. Though their form recently (14 points from 10 matches, 3 behind Argentinos) does not match the furious pace of last tournament, they definitely are still one of the most dangerous teams around. Any points earned here will be well won. Read the rest of this entry »
