Fernando Muslera, who was widely blamed for Uruguay's early exit from the World Cup, saved a penalty & was MOTM in Estudiantes' win over Defensa y Justicia last night. Afterwards, he told journalists: "I am in a healing process"

Irish. Newell's Old Boys and all things Argentine football but my first love is #THFC. Founder of @newellsoldboys.bsky.social & newellscarajo.com
The group of Argentinians who turned up to support @treatyunitedfc.bsky.social in Limerick has made the news in Argentina 🤣🇦🇷
River Plate lose their opening two games of the new season despite starting with 3 World Cup winners in their defence. Steimbach's late winner for Gimnasia saw Otamendi fail to deal with the cross and River look to be once again looking at a managerial change.
Aesthetically pleasing Puskas contender from Alexander Díaz last night as Deportivo Riestra stunned Boca Juniors with a 3-0 win on the opening weekend of the Argentine Primera.
Jorge Sampaoli's playing career was cut short by injury as a youth at Newell's. Despite a 35-year coaching career (including at a World Cup & winning a Copa América), he never managed in the Argentine Primera—until tonight. His Talleres debut? A 1-0 loss to Newell's Old Boys.
Buenos Aires bookshop. I'll say it again, the semi-final was their final.
Man of the Match and this assist for Leandro Paredes for Boca Juniors in their victory over O'Higgins last night...just 4 DAYS after playing in the World Cup Final
The Argentine Primera is back tonight.

Very petty from Rosario Central, using an image without Leo Messi or Lisandro Martínez (both ex Newell's players) to pay tribute to the national team.
8 of Argentina's 2022 World Cup Final starters will also start the 2026 final (only Otamendi, Molina & Di María missing). For comparison: when Argentina made back-to-back finals in 1986 and 1990, just 3 starters carried over: Maradona, Ruggeri and Burrucha
A World Cup classic that lived up to its billing. Heart & passion wins again. The chemistry between the players in this Argentina side and their will to win is unprecedented.
Number of Argentina players based at English clubs, at each Argentina v England World Cup match: 2026 - 6 2002 – 1 1998 – 0 1986 – 0 1966 – 0

There’s more to celebrate between England and Argentina in football than you’d imagine. Including our own #lufc connection of course. A great piece by @modernlepra.bsky.social golazoargentino.com/2026/07/14/t...

In Southend, England, they have a mural of Lionel Messi. But Jude Bellingham's father is from the city so there are rumours that it will be repainted before Wednesday's World Cup semi-final.
One of the most iconic goalkeepers in modern Argentine football will leave River Plate. Franco Armani's departure is announced after 8 years at Los Millonarios where he won 10 trophies.
Spain pass it around tediously for 85 minutes and then substitute Mikel Merino scores a late winner Every single game
Thought Scaloni had messed that up with his substitutions and loyalty to the players who won the trophy from 4 years ago. But the players he does pick have so much mental strength and resilience. What a comeback.
4 days after playing Argentina at the World Cup, Cape Verde's Pico Lopes is a pundit on Irish TV for the Argentina vs Egypt match.
Argentina's XI to face Egypt features 9 of the team that started the 2022 World Cup Final against France.
American Justice? Despite being a huge Pochettino fan, I revelled in watching Belgium thrash the US. Real men against boys stuff. Trump getting involved and Balogan playing psychologically flattened all of the momentum that the team had built.
"Si yo fuera Maradona saldría en Mondovision Pa' gritarles a la FIFA que ellos son el gran ladrón" "If I were Maradona, I’d appear on worldwide TV To shout at FIFA that they’re the biggest thieves of all."
In a rare example of an Argentine team playing outside South America, Gimnasia have travelled to Russia for a pre-season tour. In their first game yesterday, they drew 1-1 with Zenit St Petersburg. Next up is Dynamo Makhachkala.
What's wrong with Julian Alvarez? Totally anonymous in every game he has featured in - a stinker of a World Cup so far.
More and more clubs in the Americas are looking to recruit Europeans to come in and run their football operations. Ex-Spain goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta is moving to Mexico to become the Director of Football at Atlas. He previously worked at Porto, Barcelona, Athletic and Marseille.
