What do you think of AFA's change in stance over patria potestad? Do you think it could come back to bite them?

@handofpod.bsky.social Chiqui Tapia was at the Super Bowl for some reason. No it is not a stadium Argentina will play at for the World Cup.

Also are people in Argentina worried about Emi Martinez's erratic form and consistent minor injuries ahead of the World Cup? Or do they think he's just preserving himself? I guess he's probably got so much good will in the bank that it won't change anything

After Ryōga Kida's appearances for Argentinos Juniors, do you think we could see more Asians playing in the Primera?

@handofpod.bsky.social the new LPF logo is quite reminiscent of the Leeds badge debacle, no ? Looks like he’s holding a flare or scarf, neither of which are associated with the Argentine game. Puzzling even by AFA standards.

My wife just explained to me the format of Argentinian Celebrity MasterChef; why do all competitions there have to be so convoluted? Is this football influencing society or society influencing football?

Realised I was the muppet who managed to like this, so an early non-topical Q for the next pod - how is Hernán Crespo seen in Argentina? One of my favourite players growing up, decent 🇦🇷 scoring record despite Batistuta crossover & a continental title with DyJ. Saw he’s back at São Paulo & wondered!
