La Federación Mexicana de Fútbol lleva años pidiendo a sus aficionados que se abstengan de utilizar un grito homófobo muy popular en sus estadios, tanto en sus partidos de la Liga MX como a nivel internacional, cuando juega la selección nacional. Ahora está recibiendo la ayuda de la FIFA.
Six months have passed since that tragic Nov. 25, 2020, the day Diego Maradona passed away. Diego Armando Maradona's death has more and more shadows.
In his last days, the Argentinean star consumed a cocktail of antidepressants and antipsychotics that, mixed with alcohol, could have seriously damaged his health and even cost him his life. That is the conclusion of the medical board's report delivered to the Prosecutor's Office on the occasion of the investigation opened for his death.
Olivia Moultrie is a 15-year-old soccer phenom who has been training with the Portland Thorns since 2019 after Nike signed her to a nine-year endorsement deal. Moultrie has been denied from signing with a team due to the National Women’s Soccer League’s age rules, but that could soon change.
Ya es una realidad. La Copa América 2021 perdió a una de sus países organizadores. La CONMEBOL anunció recientemente que Colombia no sería anfitrión del torneo. Si bien, el comunicado que confirmó la noticia no especificó las razones, todos sabemos cuál son esas razones: el contexto de protestas sociales que afectan a la nación sudamericana.
I’m not a podcast person. I listened to Season 1 of Serial on a road trip and only finished it because I was on a road trip. I then avoided the format for like six years until Grant Wahl’s American Prodigy: Freddy Adu, because I need to know where my son Freddy is and what he’s doing at all times.
But I’m back at it with The Crack Podcast, which I started simply because I love DaMarcus Beasley and Oguchi Onyewu, but I continue because it’s hilarious, informative and generally fucking excellent.
Este lunes, futbolistas de la Selección Peruana de Fútbol publicaron videos en redes sociales pidiendo a la comunidad de su país no votar por el comunismo en la segunda vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales a celebrar este año. Los clips son parte de una campaña llamada "Ponte la Camiseta" y en ella los jugadores muestran su rechazo por el candidato de izquierda, Pedro Castillo, a la vez que apoyan implícitamente a la candidata de derecha, Keiko Fujimori, hija de Alberto Fujimori, el ex dictador peruano hoy preso por crímenes de lesa humanidad.
Players and staff from Colombian side Junior and Argentina's River Plate were left rubbing their eyes in discomfort after police fired tear gas at protesters outside the stadium ahead of their Copa Libertadores match in Barranquilla on Wednesday.
Demonstrations fueled by outrage at a now-canceled tax plan have grown in Colombia over the last two weeks.
Television pictures earlier showed the River team cutting short their warm-up on the pitch due to similar discomfort at the Romelio Martínez Stadium in Barranquilla, the city which will host the Copa América final in July.
Manchester City no le dio esperanzas al PSG y lo derrotó por 2-0 para convertirse en el primer finalista de la Champions League 2020-21. La idea era hablar de los goles de Riyad Mahrez o el maravilloso pase de Ederson en la apertura de la cuenta. Sin embargo, en vez de eso, aquí estamos hablando de Jim Beglin, narrador de la transmisión en inglés de CBS y quien al explicar la expulsión del argentino Ángel di María, por una patadita infantil a Fernandinho en el minuto 69, no encontró nada mejor que decir que la tarjeta roja se debía a "ese temperamento latino".
Prior to Tuesday, Ángel Di María had played 741 matches for club and country, receiving all of four straight red cards and 80 yellow cards. No one would ever say Di María is a hothead or has a habit of committing bad fouls — even Lionel Messi has more yellow cards in his career. So it makes the racist comment CBS announcer Jim Beglin said after the Di María red card all the more baffling.
Lionel Messi’s Instagram account recently reached 200 million followers. The account mostly just tweets out ads for the biggest brands in the world, such as adidas, Pepsi, Gatorade and SpaceScooter.
