The champions march on 2008-05-07 20:09:52 Three Argentines clubs have already fallen in this year’s Copa Libertadores, and another is guaranteed to go on Thursday night when River Plate and San Lorenzo fight it out for a place in the last eight.

When Saturday Comes, June 2008 2008-05-07 10:03:53 This week I make my first foray out of the internet realm and into the big, proper-writing world of print. The good people at British magazine When Saturday
Comes have seen fit to provide me with my national debut this month. In ‘Season In Brief’ I write about the 1991 Torneo Apertura, in which Ramón Díaz [...]
Lanús join Estudiantes 2008-05-07 07:04:07 Following Estudiantes
’ aggregate loss to LDU Quito on Tuesday night, Lanús took on Atlas in the Estadio Jalisco and also exited the tournament. Having lost 1-0 last week in Buenos Aires, Ramón Cabrero’s side needed to win at least 2-1 to advance, and failed in agonising fashion - Lautaro Acosta got a 90th minute goal [...]
Clausura ‘08: Round 14 fixtures 2008-05-09 05:21:02 River Plate have to pick themselves up from a terrible weak as they host Gimnasia La Plata needing a win to stay top of the table - yes, in spite of all the bad on-pitch news, they are still joint top. Estudiantes, who River are sharing the summit with, clash with Boca, just one point [...]
San Lorenzo win through 2008-05-08 20:58:07 With LDU Quito already lying in wait in the quarter-final after knocking out Estudiantes on Tuesday night, River Plate and San Lorenzo
met in the Monumental to decide their all-Argentine last sixteen tie and, in a phenomenal match, it was San Lorenzo, the only one of Argentina’s ‘Big Five’ never to have won the Copa [...]
Cruzeiro 1 - 2 Boca: the goals 2008-05-08 20:52:12 The goals from Wednesday night’s match in the Minerão between Cruzeiro and Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores are now online - here they are.
Cruzeiro 1 - 2 Boca Juniors
On his way? 2008-05-09 20:07:18 River Plate’s exit on Thursday night from the Copa Libertadores was so dramatic, even some of the opposition were left feeling a bit bad about it. Granted, Ramón Díaz isn’t exactly the world’s biggest River-hater, but after helping eliminate his former club, he made an apology of sorts. Another man saying sorry, meanwhile, might be rather more [...]
Argentines abroad: 10th - 11th May 2008 2008-05-12 06:36:27 The first thing to do, of course, is remind everyone that nominations are open for the HEGS Award for Best Argentine Football in a Foreign League. Email your chosen one to sam@hastaelgolsiempre.com with ‘HEGS Award’ in the subject line (unless you already have, obviously).
There were two major triumphs for Argentine players in the weekend just [...]
Clausura ‘08: Round 14 scores and scorers 2008-05-11 19:57:15 A dreadful week for Estudiantes and River Plate got much better on Sunday - both were knocked out of the Copa Libertadores in midweek, River after having lost last weekend’s superclásico, but this time out, Estudiantes beat Boca by a single goal and River rallied to demolish Gimnasia La Plata in the second half, running [...] Read more:scores
First class 2008-05-11 15:55:08 Estudiantes de La Plata had a tricky task this weekend to atone for their Copa Libertadores elimination at the hands of LDU Quito in midweek, but they’ve passed the test with flying colours. They hosted third-placed Boca Juniors in the Estadio Municipal de La Plata on Sunday afternoon and, inspired as ever by Juan Sebastián [...] Read more:First

Messi to Beijing, and mixed fortunes in Avellaneda 2008-05-13 05:45:54 The winners of at least one event in the 2008 Beijing
Olympics may as well be handed their medals now. Argentina will surely be successful in their defence of the title they won in Athens four years ago, because it was confirmed on Tuesday that Barcelona will allow Lionel Messi
to join the squad. Elsewhere Julio [...]

Boca Juniors 2 - 2 Atlas 2008-05-14 20:21:36 In the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-final, Boca Juniors
played host to Mexican side Atlas
in Vélez Sársfield’s stadium as a result of the ban CONMEBOL imposed on La Bombonera following an incident at the end of their previous home match against Cruzeiro. The change of scene didn’t suit Boca one bit; having [...]
Copa Libertadores 2008: Quarter-final first leg kick off times 2008-05-14 06:27:05 The Copa Libertadores quarter-finals are upon us tonight, and if you’re after the kick off times for all the ties - whether or not they involve an Argentine side - you’ll find them right here.
Kick off times are all Argentine time, regardless of the city the match is being played in. Add four hours for [...]
Clausura ‘08: Round 15 fixtures 2008-05-16 06:26:43 We’ve got a weekend full of derbies ahead. Colón and Newell’s aren’t in the same city but they are both in Santa Fé Province, so theirs is a sort of half-rivalry to get us warmed up for the main events. Saturday and Sunday have two clásicos each, the La Plata derby starting things off before [...]
San Lorenzo 1 - 1 LDU Quito 2008-05-15 20:31:27 San Lorenzo
wanted a sizeable win on Thursday night against Liga de Quito, Estudiantes’ conquerors in the previous round of the Copa Libertadores. Knowing they’ll have to travel to the Ecuadorian capital to play a high-altitude second leg, Ramón Díaz’s team needed to attack and get a couple of goals ahead for their fans to [...]
Same old story 2008-05-17 17:43:06 Saturday saw two clásicos in Primera A. Estudiantes beat Gimnasia ‘away’ in the Estadio Municipal de La Plata, Ezequiel Maggiolo scoring twice either side of Federico Domínguez’s equaliser, and both sides having two men sent off. But if you think that makes a front page-worthy match in Argentina, think again. Because Racing took the lead against Boca [...] Read more:story
A risky draw, and Banfield just keep scoring 2008-05-17 08:27:55 In an all-Santa Fé encounter on Friday evening, Colón and Newell’s had to settle for a draw which leaves both sides still hovering above the relegation playoff spots in positions that, whilst they should be safe, are catchable for the chasing pack below them. Banfield, meanwhile, continued their recent revival with a 5-1 thumping of [...] Read more:risky

Should I stay or should I go? 2008-05-19 20:30:46 The latest round of games in the Clausura saw Estudiantes take the sole leadership of the table in the sweetest of ways possible - by beating their city rivals Gimnasia in the La Plata derby. But as one half of the city celebrated, the other lamented the loss of their side’s manager. And then relaxed [...]

Clausura ‘08: Round 15 scores and scorers 2008-05-19 06:12:59 On Monday morning, Estudiantes’ players and fans will be waking up to see their team alone at the top of the standings. Their 2-1 victory, with two men fewer, in Saturday’s La Plata derby was combined with River Plate’s goalless draw away to Independiente (Oscar Ahumada, booed throughout for criticising the fans after River’s Libertadores [...] Read more:scores
Copa Libertadores 2008: quarter-final second leg kick offs 2008-05-21 07:50:12 The second legs of the 2008 Copa Libertadores will be played on Wednesday and Thursday nights this week, and both Argentine sides’ hopes are resting on away wins (or at least, high-scoring draws).

Tough at the top 2008-05-22 20:34:26 After a 1-1 draw in the Nuevo Gasómetro last week, San Lorenzo travelled to Quito for the second leg of their quarter-final tie with Liga Deportiva Universitaria knowing they faced an uphill struggle to qualify - playing at altitude against opponents who already had an away goal, and furthermore who had yet to lose a [...] Read more:Tough
Boca to the semis 2008-05-21 20:12:07 On Wednesday night, Carlos Tevez became the first Argentine ever to win both the Copa Libertadores and the European Cup as - in spite of his missing two good chances before half time - his Manchester United side overcame Chelsea on penalties to claim their third continental trophy. His former club Boca Juniors, meanwhile, remain [...]

Clausura ‘08: Round 16 fixtures 2008-05-23 06:16:15 The endgame approaches in the Torneo Clausura. In the Promedio, Racing have to beat Gimnasia La Plata no matter what, and even that probably won’t make much difference to their fate. Frontrunners Estudiantes host Independiente, whilst hot-on-their-heels River Plate are at home to Huracán. There’s even a Monday match this week - in El Coloso [...]
Clausura ‘08: Round 16 scores, scorers and goals 2008-05-26 19:48:26 It’s been a big weekend while I’ve been away, River drawing back level with Estudiantes at the top and San Lorenzo in danger of losing their manager in spite of emerging victorious from their match against Colón. Olimpo beat Newell’s on Monday evening but with Racing and Gimnasia de Jujuy only drawing their matches, the [...] Read more:scores
