b"In episode 163 of Hand Of Pod, Sam is joined by Peter and Andr\\xe9s to discuss Carlos Tevez's return to the Argentine national team, ahead of the upcoming friendlies in England against Croatia at Upton Park and Portugal at Old Trafford. After that, we spend a good while wondering just how good this current River Plate team are, after Marcelo Gallardo's boys beat Estudiantes 2-1 in the Copa Sudamericana on Wednesday evening to make it 29 matches unbeaten in all competitions - equalling River's best unbeaten run of the professional era, and leaving them just two short of the longest unbeaten run in the club's entire history. Does this say more about the current state of the Argentine league than anything else? After that, we look at the rest of the league. Listeners' questions include just how things are going for Juan Rom\\xe1n Riquelme's Argentinos Juniors."
