Episode 14: Boca's revival, River Plate's liquid football,&the world's tightest league? - a podcast by Sam Kelly

In the fourteenth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, Dan and Dan are once again back on the fernet (after an alcohol-free episode 13), whilst Seba is dry as ever. We discuss the two giants of Argentine football; Boca Juniors, who had another Riquelme-inspired win, and River Plate, who scored an absolutely fantastic goal which their latest wunderkid was at the heart of. We also take in the rest of Argentina's 'Big Five', and Seba gives us some historical context on why they're called that. We also look at how just six points separate the leaders from the team in sixteenth, halfway through the season. As well as warning us why you should never venture to Boca's stadium without a massively overpriced tour guide, Mystic Dan is back with his predictions - place bets on four of these results this weekend, we just can't tell you which four - and Zombie, once again, is chasing his own tail. One day we'll get that on a videocast for you all.
