As you may be aware, Estudiantes de La Plata are playing in the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi very soon (it started on Wednesday). As you may also be aware, they’ve got a bit of history in the competition back when it was the Intercontinental Cup, and Seba Verón’s dad played no small part [...]

You can watch all of those goals – plus a couple of brief highlights of Huracán vs Boca – right here. Huracán (white) vs Boca (navy [...]
Is it December already? Then it must be time for Argentines across Europe to wonder what possessed them to move to a continent where Christmas is celebrated in a cold climate. The performances are still decent, though. Gonzalo Higuaín scored again for Real Madrid as Lionel Messi ensured Barcelona kept their noses in front; Carlos [...]
Don’t worry, Argentines Abroad (or a curtailed version of it) will be online at some point later in the week, but the pressing issue for now is that the penultimate round of the Torneo Apertura takes place in midweek.

River Plate don’t even play until tomorrow, but their bitter rivals losing matches isn’t the best news of the day for them. Because on Saturday night the votes [...]
