Ohhhh El Clásico, where to begin. One of soccer's most heated, yet most deeply cherished rivalries.Few of you readers get to experience El Clasico, in Barcelona, while it's happening. This was my mission on December 23rd and should be your mission on May 6th if you are not lucky enough to go to the game in the Camp Nou.
2023 marked the beginning of a new era for U.S. Soccer with broadcast coverage of every USMNT and USWNT friendly being provided by Turner Sports. This has opened the door to live sports on HBO Max, although certain competitions remain reserved for Fox Sports and Paramount Global.
It follows that the 2023 USMNT TV schedule is all over the place. Despite having just played in a World Cup, the U.S. has a busy calendar year with four windows for friendlies, the completion of the 2022-23 CONCACAF Nations League and the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
¿Qué tal, dieciocheros? Un nuevo fin de semana en la bolsa y una nueva jornada de la Liga MX que es historia.
Tras tres fechas, los equipos regios se sienten encumbrados y un sentimiento similar se vive entre los aficionados de Santos Laguna y los Pumas de Rafa Puente. En la otra vereda, Chivas, América y Cruz Azul viven en la tierra de los lamentos.
Pero no es todo. Los momentos virales, los mejores goles y otras cosas que nos llamaron la atención, aquí en el único resumen que necesitas de la Liga MX.
Le vaya bien o le vaya mal al equipo, la afición del América siempre tiene uno o dos jugadores a los que no trata con mucho cariño. Recientemente, Miguel Layún y Bruno Valdez eran los blancos preferidos, pero con la salida del defensa paraguayo una nueva presa ha emergido: el chileno Diego Valdés.
Chivas quiso armar una fiesta para su primer partido de local en el Clausura 2023. Para eso desplegó un atractivo espectáculo en el Estadio Akron, el cual incluyó un número artístico, un show de luces y una serie de fuegos de artificio. El plato central, sin embargo, fue el estreno de un cuerno gigante para llamar y prender a toda la afición rojiblanca.
Lamentablemente, al final del partido lo que menos hubo fue fiesta.
After the fiasco experienced in the 2022 World Cup, Mexico has been looking for a new coach. Miguel Herrera – former coach of Tigres and Club América – really wants the position and has deployed an intense PR campaign to succeed. However, according to several reports, the leading candidate for the job is none other than Marcelo Bielsa.
The next World Cup hosts are looking to prepare themselves in the best way possible ahead of the tournament in 2026, and with much speculation over how they'll manage to do that, they might've just sealed a top-quality opponent in 2023.
According to multiple reports, the USMNT and Mexico are both in talks with Germany for a friendly to be played later this year.
When the USWNT plays New Zealand in a friendly Tuesday night at Sky Stadium in Wellington, they'll do so in front of a record crowd that foreshadows how the Americans will become the locals' second-favorite team once the World Cup kicks off in July.
Over 10,000 people are expected for tonight's friendly, the first of a two-game series between the Stars and Stripes and Football Ferns with the second match scheduled Friday at Eden Park in Auckland.
LONDON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale said he was attacked by a fan just after his side had earned a 2-0 victory in a fiery North London derby with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.
Ramsdale was man-of-the-match as he kept Tottenham at bay time and again and also clashed with several Spurs players during the match.
Spurs' Brazilian forward Richarlison had an altercation with Ramsdale after the final whistle, before a Tottenham supporter seemed to climb on the pitch-side advertising boards and kick the 24-year-old.
César Montes completó su primer partido como titular en LaLiga durante el triunfo 2-1 del Espanyol sobre el Getafe y su buen aporte no pasó inadvertido entre los aficionados periquitos, quienes ahora exigen la presencia constante del mexicano en el 11 inicial del equipo.
A nivel estadístico, lo que más impresionó de su performance fue su capadidad de estar siempre en el lugar correcto para sacar el peligro de su área. De hecho, Montes terminó igualando el récord de 14 rechaces en un partido de la temporada 2022-23.
