That's 'Pre Diego', for those who can't work it out. The Argentina manager and most of his squad have arrived in Glasgow and begun training for Wednesday's friendly against Scotland in the city where Maradona scored his first senior goal for his country, back in 1979. It makes sense, then, to take a quick look at [. Click to continue reading...

There's been an award for an Argentine player in MLS, a bucket-full of goals for Argentines in Italy, the captaincy of the national team bestowed upon Javier Mascherano in England, another goal for Fernando Cavenaghi in France, and plenty of goals in Mexico too.

It's been a relatively quiet week for Argentines in Europe, with most of those who represented the selección during the week still recuperating from their journey home.

It's been another important weekend for Argentines abroad. In Italy there were vital performances from Esteban Cambiasso and Ezequiel Lavezzi; in France, two goals from Fernando Cavenaghi helped Bordeaux to keep dreaming of a title, and Mauro Zárate got another for Birmingham to rescue a point. There were also Argentine goals in Mexico and the [. Click to continue reading...

The performer of the weekend, though, was Sergio Agüero. Click to continue reading...

It's been a mixed couple of nights for some of Europe's top Argentine players. On Tuesday night, Inter's Argentines (and the odd Italian, Brazilian, Swede etc.) lost out to two late goals against Javier Mascherano's Liverpool at Anfield, whilst Lucho González and Lisandro López couldn't help Porto to an away goal, as they lost 1-0 [.
