The terraces5 Jul 2038

The mood at Sol de America has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Match3 Jul 2038

No end in sight to Sol de America's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Sol de America has to find a result from somewhere.

Boardroom5 Jul 2038

Interim Coach has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Sol de America can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad5 Jul 2038

Angel Valdez breaks a bone — 65 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 65 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings5 Jul 2038

Oscar Barrios, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.24

A mark of 8.24 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings5 Jul 2038

Csanád Vilmos Dénes, 33, rolls back the years — 8.83

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.83 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad5 Jul 2038

Oscar Barrios: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Sol de America have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad5 Jul 2038

Santiago Cappi has been here 10 seasons

35 appearances across 10 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Market5 Jul 2038

Cristian Gimenez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Sol de America can pretend not to have heard.

Squad22 Jun 2037

Jefferson Racines damages knee ligaments — 96 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 96 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad22 Jun 2037

A fracture rules Santiago Cappi out for 104 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sol de America will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match20 Jun 2037

The wait goes on for Sol de America

9 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match20 Jun 2037

Chastening afternoon for Sol de America

A 0‑4 beating by Guarani was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Player ratings22 Jun 2037

Christopher Lungoyi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market22 Jun 2037

Gustavo Romero has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Sol de America they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad22 Jun 2037

Words at Sol de America training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Christopher Lungoyi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad22 Jun 2037

Jorge Benegas pulls a muscle — 16 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 16 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Boardroom22 Jun 2037

Doors closed at Sol de America

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

In brief
