Sunday 11th 20:00 Argentina time (so 11:00 PM in London, I think).

Ah, shame Anyway, it's all stuff like this usually:

Yeah, that's Bambino Pons, he's the main commentator of Premier League matches in Argentina (and some of Latin America). He makes up a song for every single goal he commentates so there's a song for probably almost every other goal Brighton's scored in the Premier League. For Buonanotte's next...

Barco didn't play last night against Uruguay because as Argentina were already qualified to the next round, it was mostly subs. In the next round, there are 4 teams, they all play each other, the top two go to the Olympics. His next matches are against Venezuela on the 5th, Paraguay on the 8th...

I really wouldn't count on Argentina making it that far tbh (as an argentine) Mascherano as a coach has been genuinely horrific

I'd be pretty surprised if that's him? As far as I know, he doesn't have Twitter and uses exclusively Instagram. I'd be surprised if for this he decided to randomly not post anything on IG and go to a Twitter account he doesn't use

Gaston Edul's confirmed it and he's about as trustworthy as you get for Argentines.

Boca might be rejecting it because according to reports from here before today they think they can get Barco to agree to renew his contract with a slightly higher release clause. They know he's probably leaving this window anyway, but if he renews he'd leave Boca with a bit more money

While the whole "clubs look at who's Brighton's scouting to sign players" thing is true, in this case Manchester City have been scouting Barco for longer than Brighton has

Very late and all, but if anyone's up he's playing against Racing in the Libertadores QFs right now, if anyone wants to watch what he's like

City has been following Barco, tracking him and sending scouts to watch him for a good 2 years, since he broke into the Reserves team

Offer's been rejected

Reporters in Argentina have said that he doesn't want to leave by release clause because of that

Fun fact: that awful awful miss at 1:09 is Cavani

I mean, I think the quote is perfectly reasonable? "When it was confirmed, I was very sad, but these are things that happen." Yeah, he obviously wanted to go but he seemingly understands it couldn't happen? Doesn't seem like there's all that much to it
