Argentina NT to Play in US?

February 11th, 2008 | By: Christian | 17 Comments »

Two of the best writers covering American football, Ives Galarcep and Steve Goff, are both reporting on the strong possibility of an Argentina - U.S. friendly to take place this summer. While nothing has been confirmed, Sunil Gulati, the President of the USSF, has mentioned that a friendly could be set up with a “Top 5″ ranked team. Since that rules out countries playing in the European championship, and with the USA-Brazil game last September in Chicago, that would appear to imply Argentina. Should the match be confirmed it would take place June 8th and would be played somewhere in the Northeast.

Looking ahead to the rest of the year’s schedule for Argentina, there are already confirmed friendlies against Jamaica in London May 31st, future dates in Europe against Hungary and Belarus, and of course, 2010 World Cup Qualifying, with the clásico against Brazil June 17th.

Argentina 2008 Schedule, Confirmed

05/31 Friendly: Jamaica, in London
06/04 Friendly: Hungary, in Budapest
06/14 WCQ: Ecuador
06/17 WCQ: @ Brazil
08/20 Friendly: Belarus, in Minsk
09/06 WCQ: Paraguay
09/09 WCQ: @ Peru
10/11 WCQ: Uruguay
10/14 WCQ: @ Chile

June 8th? This would make out an extremely packed schedule (in a bit more than 3 weeks: 5 games -3 friendlies, 2 qualifiers including a game vs. Brazil- in 3 different continents).

Either way, if they do play I’ll see if I can head over there to watch it. That would definitely beat traveling to Chicago in March to see the U-20s vs. Brazil.

Inter Milan, Juventus to bid for Atletico Madrid’s Aguero
tribalfootball.com - February 09, 2008

Inter Milan and Juventus will test Atletico Madrid’s resolve at the end of the season over their star striker Sergio Aguero.

The young Argentine signed a new contract with Atletico earlier this season, but that won’t put off Inter and Juve which will both make offers for the striker in the summer, says Corriere dello Sport.

Christian and Gonzalo.
Do you know what’s going on between Aguilar and Díaz?
Is there something we don’t know?
Or is there something the papers don’t tell?

john/ken,

I know it is you. I fell bad you, your such a loser get some friends. Stop doing this every time someone disagrees with you, you little bitch.

Your not Argentine so don’t ever say Argentina is your team. It is disrespectful to the real Argentines here. Like like saying your black and you have been there with them in all the hardships, so all due respect never in your life say Argentina is your team.

Albo:

There is definitely a big problem between Aguilar and Ramon Diaz, there is no doubt about that. The incorrect part of your statement was that you said “River wanted Ramón Díaz back as a coach but couldn’t afford him. Tinelli hired Ramón Díaz for San Lorenzo, and since then, there’s a war between Aguilar (River president) and Ramón Díaz.”

The problem never revolved around money and not affording him. It actually originated in 2002, when Ramon Diaz last left River. This was Aguilar’s first year as President of the institution, and despite the fact that Ramon had led River to the Clausura 2002 title, his contract was not renewed by Aguilar and was forced to leave the club.

Since then, the two would not get along. Ramon Diaz even went as far as publicly supporting and encouraging people to vote for Davicce (another candidate) in the 2005 Presidential elections for the club. Even though he helped Davicce gain votes, it wasn’t enough and Aguilar was re-elected.

After five years of being inactive, Diaz chose to revive his coaching career and joined San Lorenzo. This was due to the fact that he could not join the club until 2009, when Aguilar is expected to leave his position.

When River were left without a coach (Passarella resigned), Aguilar found himself and the institution going down in flames. Despite his well-known feud with Ramon (briefly explained above), he went after him since he is historically the most title-winning coach in the history of the club. River offered the “Pelado” a contract worth approximately $1,700,000 dollars a year. He was very close to rejoining the club, though his final decision was to stay with San Lorenzo, who offered him a less attractive contract (economically).

I am not saying you didn’t know most of the story, but I was just trying to clarify that economic issues weren’t the reason he didn’t return, but rather a personal feud with Aguilar.

Gonzalo, thanks for your explanation.

Yet, I have audio by Aguilar stating that D’Alessandro goes to San Lorenzo because River can’t afford him.
Do you want me to post it?

I find your post on the other thread a bit agressive and I don’t know why you say you “don’t wanna get into it”. What’s the mistery?
It didn’t take much to clarify as I see.
Nobody is attacking your CARP.
But as I said before, River have to start showing they can make some money first.

Messay and SAL, that article simply states that Cavenaghi’s goals are speaking for themselves and are telling Basile to take notice.

ALBO and GONZALO, thanks for giving info about the Aguilar/Diaz situation.

ALBO, thanks for giving Placente news, I know I am the only fan in the world!

GOLAZOOOOO! You know Basile gives Messi a free role, Leo goes where he wants to on the field (this is good). Tevez should be Messi’s sub and be a supporting forward when he comes in. Our number 9s are Cavenaghi & Denis. Tactically, we don’t play like MU, so, for me, there shouldn’t be a starting place for Tevez in a 4-3-1-2.

GOLAZO, who is John? Is it that difficult to ignore trolls? No it’s so easy. You just need to read what people that you perfectly know like AURELIUS, a-, ALBO, CHRISTIAN, etc… say…
