It has been said (”Marca”) that Madrid refused to send Saviola to Espanyol.
Now why in the world would they do something like that?
Because I don’t think it’s about money.

A couple of European football clubs are offering 10 million Euros for little Benjamin Agüero.

Real Madrid is strange(criminal) in its player business, kind of kills the spirit of the game.
Most of the times I think they want to give someone on loan, then make a contract in which that player wont be able to play against RM. Imagine spending good money buy some good players and then loan them out to the league clubs with that stupid contract, you already have half the chances to control the league. Nower days most spanish clubs started this after using RM’s example, Garay cant play against RM, Banega cant play against valencia.

Allow me to predict some future posts on this blog:

Would it be better if he just could sod off? I think so

i also want to congratulate the Aguero family. But what a shame, he is only 20 years old. people look at the so called beautifull family but dont see the imaturity of aguero for vemnturing into such way a that age. HTey are rich young and famous. Things have certainly changed in this world.
anyway congrats to aguero and his girl. I hope Aguero Jr will get all the attention and al the affection from his young and inexperienced father.
unbeleivable…!!!

gol higuain

By J-Argie | February 21st, 2009 at 2:54 pm

real 6 – betis 1, its only first half!

By gabo | February 22nd, 2009 at 10:53 am

it’s been a while that we have not seen a true top scorer in Europe. I am waiting for a second Batistuta. My question is, who is gonna be our next Batistuta? someone who takes on in the desperate minutes and kicks an spectacular shot to turn the game around!!

Good job by Higuain. Aguero is also great and I think a yet better future is awaiting both of them. However, we have to come to grips with the idea that Higuain can not lead the attack line of the national team. He is a talented player, but he can not be number 1! what about Aguero? Can he win a golden boot in the world cup?

Cavenaghi has scored today. Garay got sent off in Racing’s game.

By icho | February 22nd, 2009 at 11:34 pm

i am happy with the current team buildup as long as veron isn’t called up, and riquelme gets substituted when he is clearly tired *ideally before the second half*

By toddutah | February 23rd, 2009 at 1:43 pm

Well this week looks fantastic with some great champions league action. Hopefully some of the Argies will shine. For me Higuain deserves a chance on the NT. He is playing great.

Maradona, speaking in Argentina for the first time since his team beat France 2-0 in Marseille, will take charge of his first competitive match on March 28 against Venezuela.

“I think the match in France was really helpful for us, the coaching staff and me,” said Maradona, who led Argentina over Scotland 1-0 in November in his debut. “We instilled confidence in the players.”

The former Argentina great, who led his country to the 1986 World Cup title, said three of his players stood out in the win at Stade Velodrome on Feb. 11, when Jonas Gutierrez and Lionel Messi scored the goals.

“There were players who bordered on perfection: (Fernando) Gago, (Javier) Mascherano and (Martin) Demichelis,” said Maradona, who added he would add two or three more players to the squad for the match against Venezuela at River Plate Stadium.

What is going with Boca Juniors? Second successive loss? Albo – insights? Quite concerning.

AJNYHC, Toddutah, I just got home from Vegas, so I haven’t been following football for the last days.
I know Riquelme has not been in form to play and Palermo is not ready quite yet.
I’ll look for related info tonight and will keep you guys posted.
Where is MaxiLopez?

I’ve missed both of Boca’s losses this season for obvious reasons, but if they don’t beat Huracán next weekend, it might be all about the Copa this season. Still too early to tell to be honest, as this league, despite what many think, is VERY unpredictable.

Look for a Champions League post tomorrow.

Maxi hasn’t been here for the last 2 weeks, so i reckon he must be on holiday somewhere.

By toddutah | February 24th, 2009 at 10:13 am

What a great day for futbol . Who is going to shine gago? Mascherano? Aguero? Tevez? Cambiasso? We have have Argys all over the place this year in the champions league. Here are my predications:

Bayern over Sporting
Inter over Manu
Villareal over Patanakos
Atletico over Porto
Barcelona over Lyon
Arsenal over Roma
RealMadrid over Liverpool
Chelsea over Juventas

The quarterfinals will have a lot of spanish vs english games. The only match up I see that does not have an Argy on the team is Arsenal vs Roma. I cant wait for real Madrid vs Liverpool. Gago vs Mascherano and lets see how Higuain plays in a big game. If Higuain shines in the champions league then Maradona will have to pay attention.

Thanks Day1star.

For those of you who were asking about the situation with Boca, it’s a fact that Ischia is going to give priority to Copa Libertadores. But they didn’t expect the bad results they’ve been getting in the Apertura. Usually the young Boca players come through for them. (Datolo is highly missed in the Boca lineup.)
So, for this next game against Huracán, Ischia goes back to their typical 4-3-1-2. Riquelme at the helm, Morel Rodriguez will play too. Palermo is also a starter. The only question mark is Palacio who has played very few minutes (and scored), but once again is ailing from the same old injury.

Lastly, Maradona, who these days almost only talks about his newborn grandson Benjamin, has mentioned that, for the upcoming qualies against Venezuela and Bolivia, is going to bring along a couple of new names to La Selección. (Dátolo?)
And mentioned once again that in the last friendly against France, Gago, Mascherano and Demichelis played “close to perfection”.
Saludos

Correction: where it says Apertura, should say Clausura.

I couldn’t help but pay some attention to the sponsorship this page gets (”ads by Google”).
One of them is “Dove hunting in Argentina”

Sorry for the unrelated topic, but it makes me wanna puke, the sole notion that we are sponsored by the pigs from NRA on this page about football.
I know this blog needs all the help they can get, but I use my right to raise my voice against hunting and killing defenseless animals.
Down with hunting doves and any other animals on earth.
