Three hundred and fifty! How did we get this far? In this week’s Hand Of Pod, Sam, English Dan and Andrés look back on silver for the women and gold for the boys representing Argentina in the Panamerican Games football tournaments, and consider the narrative of Daniele De Rossi scoring on his Boca Juniors debut and then watching from the bench, having been subbed, as his teammates went out of the Copa Argentina in a shootout against Almagro.

Episode 349: San Lorenzo win again, River thrash Lanús, and more

This week, Sam and Andrés look back on the second week of action in the 2019–20 Superliga, which saw Arsenal and San Lorenzo both pick up their second wins in as many league games, while River Plate and Boca Juniors also both won, and Independiente aren’t too happy with CONMEBOL. We also take a look at Argentines in the European transfer window, particularly those who’ve been linked with English clubs as the English window closed.

Episode 346: reviewing the Copa América, and setting the stage for the new season

In the three hundred and forty-sixth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam and Andrés meet to discuss the last bits of the Copa América – particularly relating to Argentina’s campaign, and their third-place playoff win over Chile and Lionel Messi’s bizarre sending off for getting in the way of Gary Medel’s shoulders.

Episode 343: Two Argentina draws, two very different feelings

In the three hundred and forty-third episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam and Andrés look back on a draw for the women’s national team which (combined with results on Thursday) saw them eliminated from the Women’s World Cup, and a draw for the men’s national team which leaves them still in the Copa América (just) – but there are a lot more positives for the women than for the men.
