Episode 175: Central's fine start, Newell's search for identity&one third of the league are awful - a podcast by Sam Kelly

In the hundred and seventy-fifth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, Andrés and Peter discuss another weekend of action which included an amazing 53-yard lob from San Lorenzo's Pablo Barrientos, River Plate throwing away a 2-0 lead to draw with Unión, and Boca Juniors being held away to Colón. Rosario Central, meanwhile, have won four out of four under rookie manager Eduardo Coudet, whilst their cross-city rivals Newell's Old Boys still don't look the finished article, though they defend with the ball well. Also, a third of the league are bloody awful - to no-one's surprise - with Crucero del Norte the unwilling poster boys for the shortcomings of most of the ten newly-promoted sides.
