Racing poor, Colón and Central worse 2008-03-07 19:39:10 San Lorenzo recorded a second consecutive win in Friday night’s clásico in El Cilindro, though they can hardly feel too proud of themselves given that it was Racing
they were beating. To rub salt into the wound for the home side, the only goal of the game was headed in by their former player Gonzalo [...] Read more:Central
Clausura ‘08: Round 5 fixtures 2008-03-06 20:40:25 No fewer than four clásicos this weekend, two between ‘Big Five’ clubs - Racing host San Lorenzo and Independiente visit Boca - one sort-of derby, an all-Santa Fé Province clash between Central and Colón, and a proper derby between two of the clubs from the zona Sur of Gran Buenos Aires, with Banfield visiting champions [...]
Boca Juniors 3 - 0 Atlas 2008-03-06 20:21:41 Boca took a while to finally stamp their authority on their Mexican visitors, only getting the goal that finally killed the game off with nine minutes left, but all the same, the defending champions played their first home match of this year’s campaign, and got their first win to partly expunge the bad memories of [...] Read more:Atlas

Wednesday night’s Libertadores goals 2008-03-06 20:02:19 The goals from Wednesday
night’s Copa Libertadores matches featuring Estudiantes, who won 2-1 away against Danubio, and Arsenal, who got walloped 6-0 in Rio by Fluminense, are online now, and you can see them right here.
Danubio 1 - 2 Estudiantes de La Plata
Fluminense 6 - 0 Arsenal de Sarandí
[...]
The viaduct collapses 2008-03-06 06:42:17 What to say about Arsenal de Sarandí’s pathetic performance in the Maracana on Wednesday night? They were visiting a Brazilian giant of a club, but for all the money Fluminense have spent on forwards this year, they’ve not been in the Copa Libertadores for a couple of decades, and Arsenal have just won the Sudamericana, [...]
Danubio 1 - 2 Estudiantes 2008-03-05 19:35:32 Roberto Sensini’s Estudiantes
may have recorded their first league loss of the season at the weekend against San Lorenzo, but on Wednesday night they finally got their Copa Libertadores Group 2 effort up and running, coming from behind in the second half to win 2-1 against Danubio in Montevideo thanks to a Juan Sebastián Verón penalty and [...]
A blast from the past 2008-03-04 20:27:16 Things just don’t stop happening at Racing. A new twist in the tale of the club’s dreadful present came into view on Tuesday, as former club legend (and manager) Reinaldo ‘Mostaza‘ Merlo made a legal petition to have Blanquiceleste S. A., the registered company who currently own the club, declared bankrupt. Blanquiceleste / Racing president [...]
Lower division roundup 2008-03-03 20:28:04 Yes, it returns at last, a week or two later than promised, for which I apologise - here’s what’s been happening in the AFA-affiliated lower divisions!
Monday night saw Chacarita Juniors hold on to third place in the B Nacional, as they beat Atlético Rafaela 1-0 in La Paternal to end a run of five matches [...] Read more:Lower
Clausura ‘08: Round 4 goals 2008-03-03 17:23:35 The goals from the fourth round of the 2008 Torneo Clausura are online now, and you can watch all 27 of them right now on TN’s website - just click here. As usual, read on for the running order of that clip, as well as my personal pick of the week’s best strikes courtesy of [...]
Argentines abroad 2008-03-02 19:37:40 Pablo Osvaldo had a good time on Sunday, making a few headlines in Italy. The striker, who recently announced his intentions to represent Italy rather than the country of his birth, got sent off for his Gabriel Batistuta-emulating goal celebration after a late winner for Fiorentina. The performer of the weekend, though, was Sergio Agüero.
Osvaldo [...]
Real Potosà 2 - 3 San Lorenzo: the goals 2008-03-12 19:12:22 Prior to coverage of Wednesday night’s two Argentine appearances in the Copa Libertadores, here are the goals from Tuesday’s amazing fightback by San Lorenzo
. Albeit that you’ll mainly want to watch them for Real PotosÃ’s superb couple of strikes.
The end of the world 2008-03-12 08:32:00 Well, that’s how Independiente’s fans seem to be viewing the 1-1 draw against Boca Juniors in La Bombonera on Sunday. The reaction at the club’s training ground (where some fans held a protest on Monday) has been one of hysteria, more in keeping with a 7-0 home loss than an away draw. And it’s put [...]
Real Potosà 2 - 3 San Lorenzo 2008-03-11 21:44:49 Nearly 4,000 metres above sea level, it was never going to be plain sailing for San Lorenzo
as they aimed to get their Copa Libertadores group campaign finally off the ground. Their hosts, though, had different ideas, and after Los Santos had missed two golden opportunities early on, shocked the Argentines with a strong performance [...]
Argentines abroad - 9th and 10th March 2008-03-10 11:34:40 Carlos Tevez couldn’t help Manchester United through to the FA Cup semi-final, whilst Julio Arca’s Middlesbrough were also victims of an odd weekend in England, losing to Cardiff City. There were also Argentines in action in some of Europe’s ’smaller’ leagues this weekend.
Fernando Cavenaghi’s Bordeaux, second in Ligue Un, played first-placed defending champions Lyon and, [...] Read more:March
Independiente’s wait continues 2008-03-09 18:02:19 Independiente haven’t won in La Bombonera for twelve years, and that run continued on Sunday afternoon in the latest clásico of the weekend. In a lively match, they took the lead early on and saw Boca reduced to ten men shortly before the break, but had to settle for a point after a fine equaliser [...] Read more:Independiente
Two vital wins 2008-03-14 23:02:18 The sixth round of matches in the 2008 Torneo Clausura got underway on Friday with two vital wins for sides at opposite ends of the table. Estudiantes kept their early-season title push on track with a 3-2 win at home to San Martín, whilst earlier Central had travelled to fellow relegation strugglers Olimpo in a [...]
Clausura ‘08: Round 6 fixtures 2008-03-13 20:51:14 Another clásico this week, Argentina’s oldest in fact, sees River host Racing on Sunday afternoon. With Racing’s form of late this seems like the perfect time for Diego Simeone’s men to start allying some good football to their already not-actually-that-bad results, but don’t hold your breath. Lanús, a little oddly, have less than 48 hours [...]
Lanús 0 - 0 Deportivo Cuenca 2008-03-13 20:41:23 There’s very little to say about this one. On Thursday night, the champions of Argentina, who won the Apertura in such thrilling style as recently as December, and whose team is essentially unchanged since then, had a chance to bounce back from the 5-0 annhiliation given them by local rivals Banfield on Saturday. They failed [...] Read more:Cuenca

Argentina squad vs. Egypt 2008-03-13 11:05:04 On Wednesday, Alfio Basile announced the squad of 20 players to face Egypt
in a friendly in Cairo on the 26th of March. The squad consists entirely of Europe-based players, since the home- (and one Mexico-) based ones are in action next week in the Copa Libertadores and their domestic leagues.

Arsenal lack ammunition but River flow - slowly 2008-03-12 21:57:41 Argentina had two sides in the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday night, and there were mixed feelings for them. Arsenal
de Sarandí were aiming to atone for the 6-0 drubbing they received in the Maracana against Fluminense a week ago, but couldn’t do so, losing at home to LDU Quito. River
Plate, a couple of hours [...]
Clausura ‘08: Round 6 scores and scorers 2008-03-16 22:15:46 In spite of the appalling scenes prior to San Lorenzo vs. Vélez (which was called off) and Huracán vs. Boca, most of the matches in the Primera A went ahead all the same this weekend. The River vs. Racing clásico finished goalless, a result that just about keeps River in the early phases of the [...] Read more:scores
When will this end? 2008-03-16 17:23:56 The day after Vélez Sársfield fan Emanuel Alvarez was shot dead on his way to see his team play a game of football against San Lorenzo, there was another clash in the streets of Buenos Aires between gangs of people who claim to be fans of one of the clubs in the city. This time [...]
Back to football 2008-03-16 11:25:31 There was actually some football taking place on Saturday evening, but it seemed somewhat churlish to report it right away when the news of Emanuel Alvarez’s death clearly deserved the attention. It overshadowed an entertaining evening, with Independiente finding form again and Banfield coming back amazingly in the closing minutes against Tigre. There’s also been the first [...]
Black Saturday 2008-03-15 17:21:24 Two matches have been postponed on Saturday
in the Primera A, after a Vélez Sársfield fan was killed whilst walking to San Lorenzo’s stadium to watch his team - the league leaders - take on Ramón Díaz’s side. Emanuel Alvarez, 21 years old, was taken to hospital but declared dead on arrival.
Alvarez was killed by [...] Read more:Black
A boring but important post 2008-03-18 21:12:21 Important news (for some) about the address of this website. As very long-term readers may remember, it began life under the title Hasta Lo Gol Siempre, and the original website address (hastalolgolsiempre.com) used that title. Well, that comes up for renewal on the 22nd March, and since it’s an obsolete title now, I’m not going [...] Read more:boring
Estudiantes 2 - 0 Danubio 2008-03-18 20:34:42 Estudiantes de La Plata moved to within one win of the Copa Libertadores knockout stages on Tuesday night, completing a double over Uruguayans Danubio in the Estadio Municipal de La Plata thanks to a penalty from Juan Sebastián Verón and a second from Leandro Desábato. Estudiantes’ path now looks a lot clearer than it did [...] Read more:Estudiantes
