Upcoming International Friendly Matches

Well guys the best we can do is move on. I know it will be difficult but I guess once the team plays again we can start fresh. What do you all think? Here in Argentina, most people believe that Maradona will continue as coach. Is it a good idea? Well opinions are divided. Some people think we should give him one more chance as now he has learned from his mistakes, and others say what most of you guys say on the blog here – get him out! Well, this week I think we will know.
Here are two upcoming friendly matches that I know of. Please let me know if you guys know of any other friendly matches.
Ireland vs. Argentina – August 11 (in Dublin)
Argentina vs. Spain – September 7 (in Buenos Aires)
Let´s share our opinions on these matches. What would you guys like to see? Have you heard about Marcos Angeleri (of Estudiantes de la Plata)? He has been signed to Sunderland in the English Premiership! I think this is great news as he´s a great defenseman. Maybe we could give him a try around? Afterall he does play in as a Defensive Rightback position. This is a position we had trouble with during the World Cup. I think Angeleri would have been called up if it hadn´t been for his injury right before the World Cup.
Well guys – enjoy yourselves and remember to keep it clean!

A new beginning

Well guys, it is a new beginning as from today. The World Cup is over and we can only look to the future. We shouldn´t look back at 1978 and 1986 and analyze the way we played back then because football has changed, and the world doesn´t play ... [read more]
ARGENTINA VS ARGENTINA

Hola amigos…
For so many years, I’ve always thought that we were our own enemy.
Last day, Julio Grondona, FIFA’s vice president, said: “I won’t leave my position at FIFA until I die”. So you can guess he’s pretty eternal at AFA… I remind to those who didn’t know it that he’s in ... [read more]
Cristina Kirchner asks Maradona to stay. When will the circus end?

Cristina Kirchner called Diego Maradona (who was crying on the phone) to ask him to stay in charge of the National Team. She had also invited the players to come to the “Pink House” but they refused and considered it was too much after their Quarter Final humiliation.

Julio Grondona, when will you leave?

Hola amigos…
When will things finally change at AFA? When will we have a clean federation without corruption and managed by skilled persons? When will we stop wasting our great talents?
What will the government do? Will they force Grondona to resign?
Or are they going to close their eyes like always? Is it even ... [read more]
A defensive system? When?

Hola amigos…
One day, maybe, we’ll understand why we haven’t won a WC since 1986. One day, maybe, we’ll understand that we must defend, as a unit, with 8 players minimum. After losing against Brazil 4 times (1-4, 0-3, 0-3, 1-3) and Germany twice (1-1, 0-4), always because of the same reasons, maybe ... [read more]

Transfer Dealings
OK, time for a run down of who is coming, going, and undecided. COMING: Luciano "el Tano" Vella signed a loan deal for two/three years (depends on who you ask). The defender was formed in Newell's so he should be a familiar name. He comes from Independiente after stints in Spain ...
Adios, Bentral
Ok, super busy but I couldn't help but put up a little farewell post to our friends from across town. A 4-1 aggregate loss to All Boys, a team that just got promoted to the B in 2008, by Rosario Central will leave Newell's without a clasico next season. That's ...
