Argentina squad to face Scotland - official

37

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. Click to continue reading...

A new era begins

4

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. Click to continue reading...

I’m sorry… WHAT?!

7

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. For those few who've not heard of him: Maradona is a deeply unsuccessful manager who has been in charge of Deportivo Mandiyú (today reformed as Textil Mandiyú) and Racing [.

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...

Basile out: why, how, and who next?

0

As Alfio Basile was resigning as Argentina manager last night, I was preparing to email an article to Soccernet about the pressure he was under. A complete re-write ensued (at one o'clock in the bloody morning with work the following day - thanks, Coco!), and you can read the result now, taking in Basile's resignation [.

Basile resigns

1

Breaking news from the AFA: Alfio Basile has met with AFA bigwigs, and TN are reporting as I type that he's resigned from his post in charge of the selección. Olympic coach Sergio Batista, River Plate manager Diego Simeone, and San Lorenzo boss Miguel Angel Russo are the early favourites to replace him. Click to continue reading...

World Cup qualifying: self-examinations, and my own two centavos

1

On Thursday, the Argentine squad went their separate ways as they returned to club duty following Wednesday night's pathetic surrender to neighbours Chile in Santiago. Speaking at Ezeiza airport before flying back to Barcelona, Lionel Messi own up to his own mistakes frankly, whilst Real Madrid defender Gabriel Heinze did likewise. Click to continue reading...

Italy 2-1 Montenegro: Aquilani Double Gives Marcello Lippi 30-Game Unbeaten Streak (World Cup 2010 Qualifiers)

3

Lippi isn't the kind of guy concerned with critique or running after world records, and I'm sure most of us here would agree getting three points out of a match (such as Italy did today against Montenegro) is the most important thing. Yet, it must come as great satisfaction when someone tells you you've officially [. Click to continue reading...

World Cup 2010: Chile 1 - 0 Argentina

13

After finally ending a run of six matches without defeat in a 2-1 win over Uruguay on Saturday, Argentina followed it up on Wednesday night by losing to trans-Andean neighbours Chile for the first time ever in a competitive match. It was a win Marcelo Bielsa's team thoroughly deserved, and followed on from Paraguay's one-goal [. Click to continue reading...

Chile vs. Argentina - the possibilities

6

As ever, Coco Basile won't be revealing his starting XI until very shortly before kick off in Santiago, but with Juan Román Riquelme having rejoined the Boca Juniors squad to prepare for Sunday's superclásico following his suspension and with Carlos Tevez also ruled out, it's thought after the team's final training session at Ezeiza on [.

Roster Changes: Rolfe and Carroll in

1

US Soccer announced this morning that Bob Bradley has called in Chris Rolfe and Brian Carroll to replace two players who suffered injuries in their Sunday matches, Robbie Rogers (sore back) and Pablo Mastoeni (knee). It's a shame I was looking forward to seeing Rogers play. And I was about as excited to see Mastroeni play [. Click to continue reading...

Sand gets the call

1

With Messers Tevez and Riquelme suspended, and Sergio Agüero injured, Barcelona's Lionel Messi will be the only one of Argentina's 'fantastic four' (the phrase is Olé's and not, I would like to impress upon you, my own) who will feature against Chile in Santiago on Wednesday night. Agüero, who only picked up a minor knock [. Click to continue reading...

Azzurri News: Gattuso & De Rossi Recovering, Chiellini & Zambrotta Speak About Montenegro

4

Two days away from the match against Montenegro, the composition of the Azzurri midfield still raises some questions: can De Rossi and Gattuso recuperate on time? Meanwhile, the vet (Zambrotta) and the rookie (Chiellini, although Euro 2008 pretty much catapulted him to 90%-vet status) share their views on the match to come. Click to continue reading...

England Score 5 At Wembley

But, if you didn't see the game (highlights are below), that scoreline totally gives the wrong impression. The scoreline suggests that it was a good efficient display, the perfect follow up to that excellent 4 - 1 away win in Croatia last time out. Nothing could be further from the truth, especially in the first [. Click to continue reading...

Azzurri News: Lippi Satisfied With His Squad, Quagliarella Replacing Toni for Wednesday

0

One day after Italy's 0-0 draw against Bulgaria, Azzurri coach Marcello Lippi is satisfied with his boys. Not so much perhaps with the lack of three points obtained Saturday (even though, he says, "the match against Bulgaria was an exam that we passed, despite not creating many scoring chances"), but rather because the current Italy [.

World Cup 2010 qualifiers: Argentina 2 - 1 Uruguay: the goals

3

In my absence, Argentina finally returned to winning ways after six matches of forgetting what it felt like. In the Monumental, in the clásico against their ancient cross-river rivals Uruguay, Alfio Basile's side finally looked like a team again. It took seven minutes of the first half - between the fifth, when Lionel Messi opened [. Click to continue reading...

Bulgaria 0-0 Italy: Azzurri With Determination… and Without Goals (World Cup 2010 Qualifiers)

No goals between Bulgaria and Italy in Sofia. Almost emulating the performance of their junior team, the Azzurri could not do better than a 0-0 draw for their Saturday away game, a draw which at the end of today's 90 minutes seemed to satisfy players from both sides. Not surprising, since the teams spent more [. Click to continue reading...
