The hundred and ninety-fifth episode of Hand Of Pod sees Sam and English Dan discuss an eventful round of action in the Primera last weekend, with San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors both claiming 2-1 wins to remain joint top, and their closest pursuers River Plate surprisingly lose to San Martín de San Juan, to fall behind in the title race – had River won that game and the one they still have in hand, they’d have been joint top. We also run the rule over Everton’s new signing, River defender Ramiro Funes Mori, and consider a promising performance from Racing and more political discussions at the Argentine FA. Enjoy. HOP is sponsored by Argentina Independent, a fine English-language source of news from Argentina and across Latin America.
