When Jesús Corona broke his left leg during a training session in Sevilla last August, people immediately thought he would miss the World Cup. On the Mexican national team, however, nobody wanted to accept the reality and brace themselves waiting for a miracle.
Sadly for El Tri, now that hope is over: 12 days before the World Cup kick-off, Tecatito has been officially ruled out from the competition.
Brazil just announced their final squad ahead of the start of the World Cup this month and they're one of the first big nations to do so.

Las oportunidades pasan y Diego Lainez sigue sin hacer clic en Europa.
Sin opciones en el Real Betis, el extremo mexicano consiguió irse cedido a préstamo al SC Braga de Portugal para la temporada 2022-23, con la ilusión de sumar minutos y asegurar un puesto en la nómina de México en el Mundial de Catar. Tres meses después, sin embargo, el panorama de Lainez no es alentador.
De hecho, su cosecha de minutos es tan mala que a estas alturas no sería mala idea que retornara a la Liga MX para recuperar la confianza perdida.
E interesados en contar con él no faltan.
Ajax is out of the Champions League. The Dutch team lost 3-0 against Liverpool at home on a night that only could be described as a nightmare for Mexican internationals Jorge Sánchez and Edson Álvarez.
Both started the game and helped to keep the Reds at bay during most of the first half. Sánchez even had a chance to put his name on the scoreboard, but Alisson easily controlled his shot.
Álvarez was not bad himself, showing off a few skills to explain why Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona are monitoring him.
Cristian Arango scored in the third minute of second-half stoppage to lift Los Angeles FC to a dramatic 3-2 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Galaxy in a Western Conference semifinal on Thursday night.
Denis Bouanga scored the first two goals for LAFC and also contributed indirectly to Arango's match winner to lift the home side to their second Western Conference final since joining MLS in 2018.
LAFC STRIKES FIRST IN EL TRAFICO! ⚫️
Every year, soccer teams around the world present the jerseys they'll use throughout the season. The designs vary from authentic art pieces to boring, generic templates that brands try to elevate with a beautifully written but meaningless press releases.
It's all in an effort to squeeze as much money as possible from their fans' pockets.

Although Puebla got an exciting penalty shootout victory over Chivas to go through to the liguilla quarterfinals, a few controversial decisions from referee Luis Enrique Santander could’ve broken the internet if Chivas had come out victorious.
The words "Santander" and "Chivas" have been interrelated for quite some time now.
