@handofpod.bsky.social who are the sub21 players who have the greatest chance of having a positive impact on the league or earn the largest transfers fee for their current clubs?

@handofpod.bsky.social which young players have impressed you so far this season? I've really liked Baroni at Talleres, Andrada at VΓ©lez and Peralta at HuracΓ‘n

Question for you. Are the early rounds of the Copa Argentina draw seeded? The big teams don’t seem to get drawn against each other. Thanks, Mark

Just had a read. Very interesting. Do you know/have any links about what would happen if a team got promoted and another relegated and as a result USL Premier stopped meeting US Soccer’s Professional League Standards for proportion of teams in big cities etc?

@handofpod.bsky.social it looks like the prinera division has gone through an MLSfication. Both leagues need some common sense. When will we get a parallel first division in Argentina? We are now stuck with 2 first divisions in the US. Also dreaming of a continued strong start by Ferro

Is David Romero capable of 'doing a Retegui' at Tigre this season? (I. e. being a bit of a late blooming striker who scores a load and gets a move to Europe)

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.

It looks like I’ll be snowed in this weekend. What matches should I be watching this Saturday?

I think it got mentioned in one of the very first appearances of Mystic Dan, but not since – which means it will indeed have gone over most people’s heads for at least the last decade or so.

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?

@handofpod.bsky.social Do you believe Ferro can pull itself out of the depths of Primera National? What was your favorite away or 3rd jersey from the 2025 seasons?
