adidas no le hizo fácil la vida al aficionado mexicano. Su colección para la Copa del Mundo 2022 es sencillamente espectacular y seguro tiene a varios haciendo cálculos financieros para elegir qué comprar o buscando excusas para justificar la compra compulsiva de prendas para apoyar al Tri en Catar.
Todo equipo tiene un número maldito y en el Club América ese número es el 7.
Desde que el argentino Claudio "Piojo" Lopez lo dejara colgado en el vestuario lleno de gloria en 2006, todos aquellos que tuvieron la valentía de usar el dorsal pasaron por Coapa sin crear momentos memorables o dignos para la afición.
Sin embargo, pese a su infausto destino, no falta el futbolista que intenta probar su suerte y ver si es capaz de romper el embrujo.
Hoy ese hombre es Brian Rodríguez.
One day shy of the fourth anniversary of Clint Dempsey announcing his retirement, the U.S. soccer icon accomplished a new feat in the sporting world. On Sunday, Dempsey recorded his first ever hole-in-one. As is legally required by the golf gods, the Deuce had to post about it online to brag to all his friends.
This holiday season, for a 28-day period beginning Nov. 20 and ending with the final on Dec. 18, the FIFA World Cup is going to captivate the United States to a degree never before seen in the tournament’s 92-year history.
Instead of the usual talk of politics at the Thanksgiving table, get ready to listen to grandma wax lyrical about the strength of the Spanish midfield and the overlooked quality of Serbia’s attack as the national conversation turns global while the world's greatest sporting event unfolds in Qatar.
Another week, another opportunity to explore the depths to which I will exploit recency bias. Is Leadership Council member Christian Pulisic really being left off the plane or is that just a crutch for article formatting? Is Jesse Marsch a traitor to his nation for taking off Brenden Aaronson before full-time? Is Joe Scally the defensive infiltrator we've been having sleepless nights about?
It's only 25 days until the USMNT plays a friendly against Japan in Germany, and Gregg Berhalter has to answer these questions.
The Colorado Rapids suffered a humiliating 6-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Union on Saturday at Subaru Park. Maybe that explains a shocking piece of aggression from RapidMan halfway across the country back in Colorado, where the Rapids mascot laid out an unsuspecting child.
Spain beat Japan 3-1 to claim the 2022 U-20 Women’s World Cup crown in front of 29,891 fans on Sunday night in Costa Rica. Spain was superb and a deserved winner led by Golden Boot winner Inma Gabarro, whose eight goals were double the next highest scorer. But arguably the most memorable moment of the night came after the match as awards were given out and Japan’s Maika Hamano was awarded the Golden Ball (Gabarro took silver).
Already the ugliest World Cup on every conceivable grounds, it seems like Puma has elected to pay homage to that fact with a horrendous new collection of away kits for its stable of competitors in Qatar — Switzerland, Uruguay, Senegal, Serbia, Ghana and Morocco.
I feel bad for Switzerland. Here they are, qualifying for major tournament after major tournament with a population the size of Virginia, doing things like eliminating France at Euro 2020, and Puma does something like this to them. It's completely uncalled for.
A wonderful design inspired by pre-Spanish elements takes the leading role in the new Mexico away jersey launched Monday by adidas.
The kit complements handsomely the green home uniform revealed in July and completes the Mexican national team collection for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
It's always a Brazilian, isn't it?
On Sunday, with Spurs cruising to a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at City Ground, Tottenham's Richarlison had a little fun at the expense of the 30,000-strong crowd and drew a stern rebuke from the opposing team's manager for expressing himself out on the pitch. This is basically a week in the life of Neymar.
