This was always going to be a strange January camp for the USMNT with it directly following a World Cup. As usual it falls outside a FIFA international window, so the roster will be composed of MLS players, but now we also know that the team will be guided by an interim manager, Anthony Hudson.
ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle and Kyle Bonagura have revealed some of the most insane U.S. Soccer drama. The parents of U.S. phenom Gio Reyna — National Soccer Hall of Famer Claudio Reyna and his wife Danielle — were the ones responsible for allegedly blackmailing Gregg Berhalter during the World Cup about a domestic violence incident from 1991.
Guillermo Ochoa jugó sus primeros minutos en el arco del Salernitana y en su debut encandiló a Italia con sus atajadas.
El arquero mexicano defendió la valla ante el AC Milan en un partido en el que tuvo un inicio dubitativo, con un par de errores que no se pueden meter bajo la alfombra, pero que acabó con manotazos heroicos que evitaron un resultado más abultado que el "apretado" 2-1 con que terminó el encuentro.
En concreto, Ochoa registró nueve paradas que sacaron suspiros entre aficionados y la prensa especializada.
La cartelera de la tercera ronda de la Copa Rey este martes prometía acción para varios mexicanos en España.
El número central era el debut de César Montes en el Espanyol vs. Celta de Vigo. Pero la oferta también daba la rara oportunidad de ver al mediocampista Luis Fernando Télles del humilde CP Cacereño enfrentando al todopoderoso Real Madrid, mientras que el Sporting de Gijón visitaba al Rayo Vallecano con Jordan Carrillo en su arsenal.
Y de los tres, fue Carrillo el que más impresionó.
An attempt to blackmail USMNT manager Gregg Berhalter during the World Cup was revealed by Berhalter himself on Tuesday with the 49-year-old coach issuing a statement on Twitter from what was later confirmed as his personal account.
In it, Berhalter describes an incident from 31 years ago when, as an 18-year-old, he had a violent incident with his wife Rosalind. The two have now been married for 25 years but the actions occurred after they'd been together for four months.
SANTOS, Brazil - Emotional crowds bid Brazil soccer legend Pelé a final farewell on Tuesday, lining the streets of Santos to watch his coffin taken to its final resting place from the city's stadium where 230,000 mourners had filed past his open casket.
Young and old embraced as the funeral procession wound its way through the costal city's streets for hours, with some fans in tears and others cheering and drumming for a national hero who rose from barefoot poverty to become one of the greatest and best-known athletes in modern history.
El debut de Guillermo Ochoa con los colores del Salernitana es inminente. Memo, de hecho, aparece entre los citados por el técnico Davide Nicola para el próximo partido de I Granata en la Serie A ante el AC Milán, campeón defensor de la competencia.
La cita del Salernitana con los rossoneri está programada para este miércoles 4 de enero (6:30 a.m. ET) y de acuerdo a la información proveniente desde la península itálica tendrá a Memo Ochoa atajando desde el primer minuto.
RIYADH - Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo said his "work is done" in Europe, adding that he is relishing new challenges both on and off the pitch after being unveiled as a player of Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr on Tuesday.
Ronaldo, who was a free agent following his acrimonious split with Manchester United in November, joined Al Nassr last week on a two-and-a-half-year deal estimated by media to be worth more than $210.94 million.
He was greeted by a sea of yellow and blue at Al Nassr's home ground Mrsool Park, where thousands of fans turned up to witness his unveiling.
After losing in the final stages of the World Cup and then suffering a first Ligue 1 defeat of the season this past Sunday, PSG teammates Kylian Mbappé and Achraf Hakimi quickly used their time off to get as far away from the sport as possible.
With the France and Monaco stars unlikely to feature whatsoever in Friday's Coupe de France Round of 64 match against third-tier Châteauroux, Mbappé and Hakimi departed for the United States and made a surprise appearance at Brooklyn's Barclays Center for an NBA game between the Nets and San Antonio Spurs on Monday night.
After finishing his professional career on Nov. 8 with a red card and the infamous last words of "I s**t on your prostitute mother!" aimed at the referee, Gerard Piqué has returned to the limelight with his latest business venture, serving as the president of the Kings League in Barcelona.
