Posted on by Sam Kelly

On this week’s Hand Of Pod, Sam, Tony and Santi look back on the first two weeks’ action in the Copa de la Liga Profesional and three poor showings from Argentina in the SheBelieves Cup, as well as looking forward to the Copa América, which apparently is going to be played this year and may or may not be the first Copa América since 1991 to feature only CONMEBOL member nations.

Episode 393: RIP Santiago García, and previewing the Copa de la Liga 2021

Posted on by Sam Kelly

There’s sad news this week, as we kick things off with talk of Godoy Cruz striker Santiago García, who died by suicide at the weekend. Afterwards, Sam, English Dan, Andrés and Tony preview the Copa de la Liga 2021, which was changed to a cup competition rather than a league championship shortly after we recorded HOP392. We look at the summer transfer activity (such as it’s been) of the Big Five and some others, explain the structure of the competition and more.

Posted on by Sam Kelly

This week’s HOP is our last episode of 2020, but Argentine football isn’t quite done yet – unusually, matches continue throughout the summer in the Copa Diego Armando Maradona, Copa Sudamericana and Copa Libertadores. Sam, English Dan, Santi and Andrés look back on the action since we last recorded and set the scene for what’s to come. We’ll be back in the new year to update you on what’s transpired between now and then, but our Patreon supporters will be getting short updates from Sam every week during our break – if you’d like to join them (or to give someone a subscription for Christmas?) get on over to our Patreon.

Episode 384: the tenth anniversary episode

Posted on by Sam Kelly

At the end of this week, HOP turns ten years old, and we’re celebrating with a bumper episode. Sam, English Dan, Tony, Andrés and Santi review the recent action from the Copa Sudamericana and Copa de la Liga Profesional de Fútbol, consider the thorny issue of how clubs should deal with players awaiting trial in a country with a legal system which moves as slowly as Argentina’s and bid farewell to Fernando Gago, who announced his retirement shortly before we recorded. We also look forward to Argentina’s upcoming World Cup qualifying double header and look back on our favourite memories of Argentine football (and the podcast) over the last decade.
