At 43 years old most people aren’t playing professional soccer. At any age, most people aren’t stopping this goal. But at the ripe age of 43, Gianluigi Buffon, like aged wine, shows he can still move around with this incredible save against Sassuolo.
The 2017 Italian Footballer of the year winner showed his vintage self with an amazing save in a friendly match against Sassuolo on Sunday.
Cada vez tengo más certezas y menos dudas de que Carlos Acevedo es el Richard Tex Tex de la vida real.
Es el pelo al viento, son sus reflejos acrobáticos y también lo es la actitud desafiante de saber que es uno de los mejores porteros de la Liga MX. Quizás el mejor. Los vínculos con el personaje de los Supercampeones también los ha visto su club, el Santos Laguna, que hace poquito le dedicó un video comparándolo con el personaje animé.
Zambia’s women’s soccer team was supposed to be the feel-good story of the tournament. The team shocked Cameroon to get to Tokyo, came to the tournament with nothing to lose and have a striker who was a sprinter in the 2008 Olympics. The fun ended rather quickly when the World Cup runner-up Netherlands torched the Copper Queens 10-3 on Wednesday.
For over half a decade now, Jordan Pickford has been billed as the next great English goalkeeper.
He represented the national team from the U-16 side onward, was playing senior football at age 17 and became a Premier League starter by 22.
Pickford was Sunderland's best performer in his first season as a regular in 2016/17, and he was even named to WhoScored?'s EPL team of the season in spite of the Black Cats' relegation.
Nadie puede negar el amor que André-Pierre Gignac siente por México. Apenas llegó a Tigres, en 2015, el delantero se enamoró de su comida, de su cultura y su estilo de vida, al punto que recientemente reconoció que espera los papeles para naturalizarse mexicano y adoptar la nacionalidad de sus hijos. Sin embargo, todo ese cariño quedará suspendido por 90 minutos este jueves 22 de julio, cuando Gignac se ponga la camiseta de su natal Francia para enfrentar al Tri, en el debut de ambas selecciones en los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio.
El miércoles 21 de julio comienza el fútbol en Tokio 2020 y el partido inaugural será entre Gran Bretaña y Chile, la selección femenina que te invitamos a adoptar durante los Juegos Olímpicos.
Sin el Tri Femenil en competencia, es fácil mirar para el lado y arrimarse al exitoso equipo de Estados Unidos. La vía Brasil tampoco es descabellada, pero se siente un poco cliché. Chile, en cambio, ofrece la recompensa emocional que solo un underdog, un equipo que tiene todo para perder, puede dar.
The USMNT’s hero of the Concacaf Nations League final against Mexico has a new club to call home. Ethan Horvath was officially announced as Nottingham Forest’s newest player on Tuesday. The Horvath transfer came after weeks of speculation of the Colorado-native going to Huddersfield.
Welcome to The Reds, Ethan Horvath
That calm walk after having stopped one of the most important penalties in the history of Italian soccer wasn’t a show: Gianluigi Donnarumma hadn’t realized that he’d just been crowned European champion. Speaking to Sky Sports Italia, Donnarumma said, “I didn't celebrate on the penalty because I didn't realize we had won."
I’m not going to lie, it’s not easy to go from watching the Euro and Copa América finals to blanky staring at Costa Rica fight off Guadeloupe 3-1 in the Gold Cup. Concacaf’s skill level might not be that of UEFA and CONMEBOL, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t entertainment.
LONDON - The old guard, once again, came good for Italy, this time steering the Azzurri to Euro 2020 glory, but wily defensive stalwarts Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini cannot go on forever.
One experienced defensive head is guaranteed to remain, however, to guide an exciting Italy team into the future, despite still being a boy himself. The unflappable Gianluigi Donnarumma is almost certainly going to go on to break all kinds of appearance records at club and international level.
