Americans Abroad: 3 Players Ready For Qatar And 2 Who Look Lost

This here is Week 3 of our keeping track of Americans abroad in these power rankings that aren't really power rankings, and I declare this edition a collector's issue. That's right, fire up the printer, make sure you've got the necessary ink levels and print this whole webpage out for posterity.

Ansu Fati And Lewandowski Turn On The Style In Barcelona's First Win Of The Season

Barcelona got its first win of the season with a hard-fought 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad at the Anoeta on Sunday night in a match that largely swung in the visitor's favor following the introduction of Ansu Fati in the 64th minute.

Kylian Mbappé Scores The Fastest Goal In Ligue 1 History

No Le Tienen Paciencia: Fans De Pumas Abuchean A Dani Alves En Dura Derrota Ante Santos Laguna

No hay caso. Pumas no sabe ganar con Dani Alves en cancha y la afición perdió la paciencia. De hecho, en la dura caída por 5-1 en Ciudad Universitaria no tuvo empacho a la hora de abuchear al brasileño.

Alves se sumó al cuadro universitario como uno de los grandes fichajes en la historia de la Liga MX, pero desde que debutó el equipo simplemente dejó de ganar. Previo al partido, Pumas acumulaba dos empates (Mazatlán y Monterrey) y dos derrotas (América y Atlético de San Luis) desde la llegada del lateral, contando solo duelos del Apertura 2022.

Sadio Mané Strikes Twice As Bayern Munich Crushes VfL Bochum 7-0

BOCHUM, Germany - Champions Bayern Munich demolished hosts VfL Bochum 7-0 on Sunday, with new signing Sadio Mané scoring twice, to maintain their perfect start to the season.

The Bavarians are two points clear at the top with nine points from three league games, and have now scored a league-record 15 goals in their three games even though top striker Robert Lewandowski left this season to join Barcelona.

Newcastle and Manchester City played out a ridiculous 3-3 draw at St. James' Park on Sunday afternoon in an early contender for Premier League match of the season that also featured candidates for the year's best free kick (Kieran Trippier) and most unbelievable assist (Kevin De Bruyne). 

Bernardo Silva picked out İlkay Gündoğan for City's opener in the fifth-minute, but Newcastle equalized through Miguel Almirón in the 28th and went ahead before halftime thanks to Callum Wilson.

Brenden Aaronson The Hero Of Leeds United's Historic Win Over Chelsea

The Major Leeds Soccer (MLS) experiment stunned the football community Sunday by recording its first win over Chelsea in almost 20 years, a 3-0 clinic at Elland Road, with USMNT attacker Brenden Aaronson scoring his first goal for the club and compatriot Tyler Adams putting Mason Mount in his back pocket for 77 minutes. 

A blood and thunder start to the match was followed by a period of Chelsea superiority where it looked like the Blues would ultimately punish Leeds' wild ways, but Jesse Marsch's team seems to gather its strength from periods of distress.   

¡Paliza En El Azteca! América Destruye A Cruz Azul Con Un Histórico 7-0

Fútbol champagne y goles para todos los gustos. América humilló a Cruz Azul en el Estadio Azteca con un ¡7-0! que se convirtió en la mayor goleada en la historia del Clásico Joven.

Sí, ¡SIETE - CERO!

Las Águilas se encontraron con un equipo que venía con la moral baja – tres derrotas consecutivas – y al verlo como zombie desde el primer minuto, no le tuvo un gramo de piedad. 

Fue un concierto coral y cuya máxima expresión fue el hecho de que los siete goles los hicieron siete jugadores diferentes.

El camino a la gloria se cerró. La selección mexicana femenil sub-20, la única que sobrevivía de la Concacaf en el Mundial de Costa Rica, no pudo ante España – ni con los postes – y quedó fuera en los cuartos de final del torneo.
