Episode 486: The Copa de la Liga takes a week off

Episode 485: Delusional Demichelis and tactical Tevez

Wednesday evening saw River claim another (minor) trophy, and we also discuss national team news, including new kits and Lionel Scaloni's decision to call up Lisandro Martínez even though he's not back from injury yet.
Customer Reviews
Just what I've been searching for!
Been searching all over the internet for an English spoken podcast tracking the Argentine league! Very Informative and entertaining. Many thanks, keep up the good work!
Poor Research
I have no doubt that this pod at one point was great and informative.
However Sam rarely knows who has played who or the correct results, it feels phoned in and lazy.
I’d suggest handing the pod off or shutting it down if the love isn’t there anymore.
Sam, thanks for all your past years of hard work.
El Classico
I really like this podcast, it has to be commended that a few "good" guys decided to keep us europeans well inform about all things Argentina, both the leagues, the classics and the national team. I've become a fan and i really think that if you want to have more in your football "arsenal" you should really give it a try and subscribe, this even knowing that as an "boca" fan am probably greatly neglected in this series but like i said before you will be keep up to date with all scores, games, transfers and the national team, so yes is cool. If your interested in football and you want to keep in touch with this championship you should really give this dudes a chance and subscribe, although a really wish they would fulfil the only defect that is not having a in house "boca" fan. but keep up the good work!
