Velez Sarsfield 2 Argentinos Juniors 0 Look away now if you’re squeamish because this is going to get nasty. I’m going to whinge and moan and bellyache until I’m raw because I’ve got plenty to be angry about. It’s one thing to lose when you’re playing badly, when your defence is a shambles, when you’re bereft of [...] Independiente 1 Argentinos Juniors 1 If you’ve never been to Buenos Aires you possibly have an image of a city that moves to the two-by-four beat of the tango, a metropolis where men in nineteen-thirties suits and slicked-back hair lean on lampposts whistling at attractive women in pencil skirts and fishnet stockings before taking them by [...] Huracan 1 Argentinos Juniors 2 The main reason I adopted Argentinos Juniors as the team to write this blog about was that they were crap. I watched them a couple of times a year or so ago and thought their ramshackle ground, their tubby players and their comical goalkeeper would give me plenty of amusing anecdotes [...] Arsenal 2 Argentinos Juniors 2 This was one of those trips across town to a nether region of Greater Buenos Aires, Sarandi, requiring a convoluted combination of bus, train and underground travel. And for that, you need loose change which is often as sparse as decent options in a West Ham attack.

They’re all over Buenos Aires, a city where many claim that they’re the most beautiful people in South [...] River Plate 0 Argentinos Juniors 1 It’s now been four days since the superclásico, the twice yearly clash between Boca Juniors and River Plate which Boca won 2-0. The newspapers are still full of it. There were front page photos of celebration that might have left a stranger to Argentine football thinking that Boca had just [...] Racing Club 0 Argentinos Juniors 1 I’m not going to say it since when I said it last season after Argentinos Juniors strung a few victories together, they went on to lose and draw their next batch of games. But three wins on the trot and….no! Resist! Resist! And the winner is…. It’s a week now since [...] Estudiantes 0 Argentinos Juniors 1 There’s been a full programme of mid-week games which have produced bundles of goals, including the 4-4 draw between Velez Sarsfield and Boca Juniors. And this as the national team finally played the way they should be playing and outclassed Germany on their own soil in an impressive pre-World Cup friendly.
Banfield 3 Argentinos Juniors 0 This was the resumption of the second game of the season, called off after eight minutes because of torrential rain. And it looked to me like the Argentinos Juniors players never really dried out. Banfield are the current champions and it showed. They were snappy, they were hungry and they enjoyed [...] |
