Hakim Ziyech is a shooter. We've forgotten that this year with the Moroccan winger rarely playing for Chelsea, but when the goals were flying in at Ajax he was averaging 5.3 shots per game, and when he last represented his country at a major tournament (AFCON 2019) he was firing off 4.5 per game.
Pese al aislado momento de magia que regalaron Héctor Herrera y Alexis Vega, la selección mexicana no pudo ante Suecia y terminó cayendo 2-1 en su último amistoso antes del Mundial de Catar.
El plan del partido era ver un posible equipo titular de cara al debut con Polonia, evaluar físicamente a Raúl Jiménez en medio de la pubalgia que lo afecta, así como tratar de dejar una dosis de optimismo para lo que se vivirá en la Copa del Mundo.
Todos sabemos que en el fútbol cualquier cosa puede pasar. Sin embargo, cada vez que vemos a Argentina jugar la pregunta es ¿qué diablos puede hacer México para contener a la Albiceleste cuando ambos se enfrenten en el Mundial?
La interrogante volvió a aparecer este miércoles luego del amistoso en que Argentina le dio un baile a los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, un 5-0 que demostró además que la selección sudamericana tiene una serie de variantes que van más allá de los hechizos que pueda crear Lionel Messi.
When put in a situation of extreme adversity, there's no better plan of action than feigning death. I've read all the leadership books and they all agree that playing possum is the most effective form of self-help. Just wait enough time and all your problems will leave you alone.

Argentina and Brazil can breathe a sigh of relief after Lionel Messi and Neymar ended the last PSG game before the World Cup without a scratch.
Both stars played 75 minutes in a 5-0 rout of Auxerre before getting subbed off, and PSG coach Cristophe Galtier allowed them to abandon the game before the final whistle so they could travel and join their respective national teams.
A lot of people were left hurting by Ricardo Pepi's snub from the final 26-man USMNT World Cup roster.
The 19-year-old from El Paso, TX, is a hugely likable talent who came up clutch in qualifying with three goals, including the go-ahead strike on the road in Honduras and a brace against Jamaica. What worked against Pepi is that those three goals were all registered in back-to-back games over a year ago.
