In the three hundred and forty-first episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, English Dan and Andrés look back on Tigre’s first ever major trophy win, after the Victoria club got their own back on the Argentine top flight by winning the first ever Copa Superliga, and in so doing taking a place in the group stage of next year’s Copa Libertadores, by beating Boca Juniors 2-0.

Episode 339: Tigre eviscerate Atlético, Argentinos and Boca bore us

In the three hundred and thirty-ninth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam is joined by English Dan and Andrés to discuss the first legs of the Copa Superliga, which saw Tigre all but book their place in the final … only for CONMEBOL to bafflingly announce a couple of days later that even if they win the cup, they won’t be allowed in to next year’s Copa Libertadores. We also have the Copa América final squad to run the rule over, and plenty more besides.

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.
