Episode 338: we wanted to preview the Copa Superliga semis, but well … you’ll see.

In the three hundred and thirty-eighth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, English Dan and Andrés discuss three quarters of the Copa Superliga quarter-finals … but not three quarters in that way; three quarters in the other way. Two of the ties conclude after this episode goes online, so previewing the semi-finals is tricky, but we are able to look at Argentina’s preliminary squad lists for the Women’s World Cup and the men’s Copa América, among other things.

Episode 335: the big boys join the Copa Superliga

In the three hundred and fifty-fifth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, English Dan and Andrés look back on the second legs of the Copa Superliga first round, which saw a few more interesting matches than the first legs had produced, and look forward to this weekend, when the quality of the competition should improve markedly as the teams who finished first to sixth in the league enter the fray. We also take a look at next season, and the Superliga’s spectacular lack of communication surrounding it, and give you the latest on the battle for promotion from the second division, broken regulations and all.

Episode 334: the Copa Superliga is born

In the three-hundred-and-thirty-fourth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, English Dan and Andrés discuss the first ever weekend of Copa Superliga action, which was … less than thrilling, it’s probably fair to say, although there were a couple of decent matches. We also give you the latest on the women’s Primera, and the boys’ Under-17 and Under-15 national teams, who’ve had successes in recent days.

Episode 333: tidying up the loose ends from the last weekend of the Superliga

In the three-hundred-and-thirty-third episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam and Andrés look back on the final weekend of Superliga action of the season, and tie up the loose ends that were left after Racing’s title win a week earlier: who won out in the battle to not get relegated? Which teams prevailed in the struggle to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana? Did Atlético Tucumán get the 13-goal swing (plus close the points gap) they needed to qualify for the Libertadores ahead of River Plate? There’s only one way to find out, and it’s by listening to this episode! Well, okay, you could check a large number of websites or apps, I suppose. But please listen.

In the three-hundred-and-thirty-second episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, English Dan and Andrés look back on a weekend of Superliga action which saw Racing crowned champions of Argentina in spite of late goals for both Tigre and Defensa y Justicia. They also look at what’s left in the final weekend of the campaign coming up: the relegation battle, the race to finish in the Copa Sudamericana spots, and whether Boca Junors can leapfrog Defensa to claim second place.

Episode 331: trying to ignore the negatives, but there are just so many of them

In the three-hundred-and-thirty-first episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, Andrés and English Dan look back on two woeful friendly performances by Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina – a second-ever defeat to Venezuela and a narrow win over Morocco – which did absolutely nothing to breed optimism ahead of the Copa América. We also preview the last two weeks of the Superliga season, with the title run-in and the Copa Sudamericana qualification battle taking centre stage.
