Sweet Baby Jesus, Baby Jesus Was Sent Off In A Crazy Copa Libertadores Final

This is why you can’t take your eyes off the Copa Libertadores. 

Palmeiras scored in the ninth minute of 14 minutes of second-half stoppage time to beat Sao Paulo rival Santos 1-0 in the Copa Libertadores final on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro. 

After 89 minutes of tense but ineffective football made extra time look all but certain, the final sparked into life as it moved into stoppage time. There was an attempted chilena, a red card for an oddly dressed coach who refused to leave and a dramatic winner from an unlikely source. 

¿Suárez, Bravo y Vidal Fuera? El Polémico Equipo Ideal De La Conmebol En La Última Década

Cada vez que alguien hace un 11 ideal de la temporada, de la década o de la historia deja abierta la puerta de la polémica. ¿Por qué este jugador y no este otro? es la discusión típica. Pero pese a las diferencias, las elecciones suelen ser razonables. Caso distinto, sorpresivamente, es el equipo de la década de la Conmebol que la Federación Internacional de Historia y Estadística de Fútbol (IFFHS) publicó hace unos días.

After having a catastrophic era between 2010 and 2018 in which they failed in absolutely everything, they have been reborn since the arrival of their current coach, Tite. 

¿Merece Di María Estar En La Selección Argentina O Ya Está Muy Viejo?

Ángel Di María, jugador del PSG, esta frustrado por no haber sido convocado por la selección argentina para disputar los primeros dos partidos de las Eliminatorias al Mundial Qatar 2022 contra Ecuador y Bolivia. Pese a estar teniendo un buen rendimiento con su club y haber sido pieza clave para que el PSG llegara a la final de la Champions, Di María no fue tomado en cuenta por el técnico de la albiceleste, Lionel Scaloni.

Every New Team, Stadium And Celebration In FIFA 21

For those of you wondering when FIFA 21 will be released, you'll have to wait another few weeks. The game is available to play October 6 if you pre-order. The release was pushed back from its usual late-September unveiling. Adding insult to injury, there will also be no demo this year.

When Messi Came To Town: The 19-Minute Hat Trick That Left America Bewitched

Messi was coming.

For the first and only time — barring a grizzled move to Inter Miami — the greatest footballer ever was going to play competitive matches on American soil.
