		<description><![CDATA[At home, though, there's a dearth of such folk: Diego Simeone should be one of the luminaries but his glib, blind bumbling at Racing, forever haughtily sniping at the short-sightedness of the pueblo whilst ignoring his own shortcomings, is but a blueprint for despair. Simeone's the Man Who isn't Here. The very title of Solari's blog, El Charco ('The Pond'), on the other hand, implies a connection to the auld country, that he's not an eternal ex-pat; it reveals a sense of commitment, of duty. Likewise Sava, who keeps an even lower profile far from the fanfare of Olé. Nationalism is such a dirty concept, but we've come to believe that some of its cleaner qualities, namely a sense of solidarity, far from cheap xenophobia or base self-congratulation, ought to be rehabilitated - especially in such an outward-looking, insecure nation such as Argentina (or Ireland, for that matter).  <a href="http://pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com/2011/12/10/santiago-solari-facundo-sava-greatbudgies/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12324482&amp;post=2514&amp;subd=pegamequemegusta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Magellan, though, ah Magellan. As a youth we'd draw our grubby finger across the beautiful, though distorted mess of the Mercater world map. Invariably we'd end up at the Strait of Magellan. We still don't know why; we've yet to venture there. It exercised a sense of wonder on us matched only by the awesome phenomenon that is an eleven o'clock dusk in Dublin. Of course we were schooled in the feats of Magellan, his empirical demonstration, by proxy, of the globe's theoretically palpable rotundity; his obscene death, riddled with arrows, run through with spears knee-deep in the breakers of his very own Saipan.  Only later did we look into Magellan. We learned that he personally ordered that some 1,200 bells, mirrors and trinkets be brought along, notwithstanding the clear space restrictions even with five ships, convinced as he was that whomsoever or whatever they would meet on the journey into the unknown, shiny stuff was bound to go down a storm. So it was that whilst waiting out the winter way down south in San Julián, in the yet unbaptised Argentina, that Magellan's men managed to capture some simple giants with big feet ('patagones'). Crude but effective, they distracted the friendly giants before slapping some irons on their legs, in cool civilised fashion. <a href="http://pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/security-magellan-drake-the-afa/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12324482&amp;post=2483&amp;subd=pegamequemegusta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More than that, though, it also throws some light on what players go through when they move abroad. Argentina's tradition of mismanaging its own riches, sending them abroad and somehow ending up empty-handed, if it's under threat politically, is very much alive and well in don Julio Grondona's sphere of influence. The players leave early and haphazardly, even against their wishes. They are not just going to the big leagues either: more and more they move to leagues that heretofore were worse than the Argentine league. Odd; everyone loses. One could dismiss this as just 'weird' China stuff, as Pupi would no doubt say,  but we suspect that Salmerón's experiences are not unique. For even the biggest clubs in the wealthiest leagues still seem remarkably careless when it comes to - whatever about their transfer 'policy' - helping players acclimatise. You make a sandwich, someone buys it off you, the money magically disappears and you see the bastard leave it in the sun, the mayonnaise curdling, the ham turning green, the lettuce brown and the bread harder than a coal-shoveller. <a href="http://pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/railways-chili-peppers/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12324482&amp;post=2458&amp;subd=pegamequemegusta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rabbit looks happy, it's a perfectly normal little rabbit, only exceedingly tiny, as small as a chocolate rabbit except for the fact that it's white and most definitely a rabbit. I place it in the palm of my hand, stroke its fur with my fingers; the rabbit seems happy to be alive and hoovers about burying its nose in my skin with that quiet, ticklish gnoshing of a rabbit's nose on one's hand. It looks for something to eat so I (i'm referring to when this used to happen in my house on the outskirts of the city) I take it out to the balcony and place it in the big pot with the clover i've planted especially. The little rabbit pricks up his ears as high as they go, grabs at a clover with a quick swirl of his snout, and I know then that I can leave him there and go off, continue with a life that's no different to that of so many other people who purchase their rabbits from farms. <a href="http://pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/letter-to-a-lady-in-paris-julio-cortazar/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12324482&amp;post=2443&amp;subd=pegamequemegusta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone who can tell you far more about Higuaín, about contingency, about football and beauty, however, is the subject of our newest man crush, Santiago Solari. He has a new blog in El País called El charco ('the Pond'), referring to the Atlantic, and it's amazing. We had to doublecheck when we saw the name attached to such a fantastic piece of prose. Is that..? Could it be... the Santiago Solari who delighted us so ten years ago dancing up the left wing for that awesome, hard-working, downright loveable Real Madrid team? It was, and, dear tired, harassed, perpetually titillated but never rewarded reader, it made the reading all the sweeter.

It's quite simply the best thing we've come across in ages and it's written by one of the players we have only slightly less of a thing for than Pablito Aimar. It's an ideal version of pegamequemegusta, without our halfway house wit, our verbosity, and, dear lord, the sheer tediousness of 5,000 word posts. His first article was titled Function and Form. A discussion of aesthetics and football, it includes lines like:

Football is not art as art is neither its goal nor its essence. Nor is beauty.

and

It is wholly frivolous to try and treat a football match as if it were a Flemish masterpiece.

You'll have noticed the tone, the eccentric, starchy register, the assurance, the perspicacity. In many ways he reminds us of his compatriot and fellow Real Madrid man, Jorge 'Vincent Price' Valdano, who's also given to mystical ramblings about time and space, and a slightly odd vocabulary. While a treat, it makes it harder to translate, but we've given it a go. <a href="http://pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/celui-ci-nest-plus-un-pibe-higuain-messi-santiago-solari/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12324482&amp;post=2367&amp;subd=pegamequemegusta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we stood sucking pebbles peering at a map on a trip to Sabella's La Plata last July, we were told to "stay within the triangle". To our horror, we noticed that the city, far from the tolerable grid so delectably broken up by the untamable Atlantic down in Mardel, consisted of a the kind of fantasy a geometrist would only confide to a priest after slapping a padlock on the confessional - Eternal lines thwarting the transient, precarious present. For induction, as Poincaré says, is only the affirmation of a property of the mind itself; intuition is the instrument of invention.  <a href="http://pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/sympathy-for-de-selby-part-two/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12324482&amp;post=2322&amp;subd=pegamequemegusta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

That no true Paddy would ever cut a tree into a rectangle has long been one of the axioms by which pegamequemegusta has led its increasingly obtuse life. The Paddy is after all a raggle-taggle creature, his talk garrulous and brimming like the vowels of his native tongue. Moreover, millennia of rain have left his edges poorly-defined. Living so exposed to the elements, traditionally the Paddy had no need for precision time-keeping tools such as those fashioned by the valley-dwelling Swiss. So it was we looked with some dismay a few years back when under the guise of modernising reforms, Dublin's O'Connell Street saw its fine London Plane trees removed.

The tree, of course, was not native to the island, having its roots in 17th century Spain. Yet after a 100 year residence, it's fair to say the trees had become more Irish than the Irish themselves. So it was sad to see these sturdy friends of ours hacked down and replaced by puny, inescapably French specimens. The natives had been robust yet wavy, the geometry of their cylindrical trunks offset by a delightfully asymmetric dispersion of branches. They were well able to take a storm. The colonisers, on the other hand, were straight from the pristine Jardin de Luxembourg. They took the form of rectangles and looked shakier than a frigateful of General Hoche's wastrels. Pegamequemegusta stared aghast at the manicured Parisian abominations, shorn like effete poodles. The Sons of Róisín had made a very poor investment indeed. The Paddies had bought into the idea that Nature not only had been overcome but was also ripe for humiliation. Pegamequemegusta saw it was time to leave.  <a href="http://pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/sympathy-for-de-selby-part-i/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12324482&amp;post=2312&amp;subd=pegamequemegusta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In any case, even if we suppose the superstitious sailors are correct in their suspicions that the admiral and the sea monster are one and the same, it is still true that many a ship has sunk down to the murky depths owing to seamanship so reckless it was tantamount to skuttling the vessel. After all, the paralysis that affected the once awesome battleship River Plate last month was so sublime precisely because even with the rocks dead ahead the mariners seemed determined to maintain their course. No treacherous fog enveloped them, no whirlpools formed suddenly off the bow. The sky was clear Belgrano blue and the ripples on the green sea carpet were no more pronounced than the muscles on a proud stevedore's physique. With morbid fascination we watched from the shore as they seemed to will themselves below the waves. 

Among us there was one who suffered more than most; a man whose forebears sprung from a land with a distinguished seafaring tradition, el Tano Pasman. Oh how he suffered as he watched his once illustrious frigate struggle feebly with some poorly-armed piratas from Córdoba. Sure it was well known that the SS River Plate had traded in their sails for magic beans and had replaced the mast with empty bottles of rhum, but no-one expected such a collapse. The dear mothers of our town had to lead their bonny children away by the hand as the expletives rained from his seething gob like foam from the mouth of the opprobious kracken. Luckily it was filmed for posterity, dear handsome reader, and while we make no claims to novelty we feel it's worthwhile including it here if not for your edification at least for your titillation. <a href="http://pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/el-tano-pasman-at-cape-bojador/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pegamequemegusta.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12324482&amp;post=2227&amp;subd=pegamequemegusta&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
