Copa Sudamericana 2008: Estudiantes through to the final

1
The second leg of the Copa Sudamericana semi-final between Argentinos Juniors and Estudiantes de La Plata was as all reasonable people expected it to be. That is, after Argentinos' first team thrashed Estudiantes' reserves 5-0 in the league on Sunday, it was evident to all that Estudiantes would advance from the semi. Click to continue reading...

The Maradona era has begun. Olé announced even before the friendly against Scotland had ended that 'the 19th of November, 2008, will be recorded with fire as a great ocassion in the history of our football.' Not that they're in any way hyperbolic. Diego himself was more reserved, but still showed in the post-match press [. Click to continue reading...

Scotland 0 - 1 Argentina

23
Diego Maradona's first match in charge of Argentina saw few surprises. Against improving and tenacious opponents, a big win was never on the cards, but those who've doubted the wisdom of Maradona's appointment can take some encouragement from a performance in which the Albiceleste actually played like a team.

Scotland vs. Argentina: Maradona’s expected starting XI

17
In 1994, when Diego Maradona played his last match for Argentina, you could have got very long odds on him one day becoming the manager of the national side. What about the likelihood that his first match in charge would take place against the same country he scored his first senior international goal against? Click to continue reading...

Argentines Abroad: the last weekend P.D.

3
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...

Copa Sudamericana semi-final first leg: Argentinos 1 - 1 Estudiantes

14
Estudiantes de La Plata were for the most part the better side away to Argentinos Juniors in the first leg of the all-Argentine Copa Sudamericana semi-final on Thursday night. At half time they led 1-0 thanks to an unlucky own goal from Argentinos 'keeper Sebastián Torrico, but in the second half Juan Ignacio Mercier got an equaliser for the hosts to [.

This didn’t take long…

1
It's happening already. There are rumours, before he's even managed his first match, that Diego Maradona might stand down as Argentina boss. I mean, honestly. The arguments between Diego and the AFA about who's the best assistant are still going on, and on Wednesday the media were reporting that the new manager might be considering [.

Rolfi gets a call up!

2
This wasn't expected. Diego Maradona has named three - not five - home-based players to be added to the Argentina squad prior to this weekend's international friendly against Scotland in Glasgow, in his first match as selección boss. In spite of Boca Juniors having exited the Copa Sudamericana, Juan Román Riquelme is not one of them. Click to continue reading...

Just typical…

0
After 14 matches of utter dross (plus a few in the Copa Sudamericana) Diego Simeone signed off as River Plate boss on Sunday evening having served up one of the matches of the season. Even when River won the title in the Apertura they were rarely really entertaining, but this evening was something rather different. Click to continue reading...

Diego Simeone will manage his last game as River Plate boss this Sunday against Huracán, after admitting in the wake of another spectacular continental elimination, and the worst start to a season in the club's history, that he can't stay until December.

Not so scary anymore?

0
There was a popular belief surrounding South American football until last year. It said that Brazilian club sides taking part in the Copas weren't afraid of anyone at all, until they came up against Boca Juniors. When they met the boys from the Riachuelo, though, they'd lie down for fear of angering their foes and [. Click to continue reading...

Argentina squad to face Scotland - official

40
The squad as expected by the Argentine press (and subsequently here) prior to Diego Maradona's first press conference as Argentina boss yesterday turned out to be not quite accurate, so here's the list as announced by the man himself in that press conference, along with a bit of opinion (my own and others') on it.

Argentines Abroad, and Maradona’s first squad

16
The AFA will hold their press conference in a few hours' time to allow Diego Armando Maradona to announce his first Argentina squad (read on to see who's made it), and already there's controversy surrounding the nature of the appointment (not to mention the exclusions of three key players). Maradona declared on Radio La Red [. Click to continue reading...

A new era begins

What will Diego Maradona's appointment as manager of Argentina mean for the fans and players of the national team? You can find out on Soccernet, where I've written a terrible first paragraph and an otherwise pretty good (I hope) article on the new technical team for the selección. You can read it here.

Yes, him. As everyone will now surely be aware, Diego Armando Maradona has been named as the new manager of the senior Argentine national football team.

Argentina’s new boss: who will it be?

1
Julio Grondona returns, on Monday, from a FIFA congress in Zurich. When he flew out to Switzerland last week he told the press that the 27th, when he returned, would be the day on which he would be announcing the new manager of the Argentine senior men's national team. The commonly held view is that [. Click to continue reading...

The resurgence continues

God knows where this has come from.

Leaving it late

There were ten goals from four matches on Saturday, and they didn't stop coming until the very end of the final game. Both Independiente and Argentinos went into the match at El Cilindro in good form, and a draw seemed an inevitable result, but it only eventually arrived when the visitors equalised in the second [.

Inter 2 - 0 Boca & Palmeiras 0 - 1 Argentinos: the goals

That's the state of River Plate's campaign and, perhaps, Diego Simeone's job at the Núñez club on Wednesday night.
