The U.S. women's national team is in a position to win a record third straight World Cup because every player who steps on the field is expected to meet the high standards of their predecessors.
Sophia Smith is the latest example of a potential legend in the making, following in the footsteps of players such as Mia Hamm, Abby Wambach and current teammate Alex Morgan.
Alan Pulido perdió los papeles en la Leagues Cup. El delantero mexicano terminó expulsado luego de darle un cabezazo a un rival durante el empate 3-3 del Sporting KC ante el FC Cincinnati.
Muy al estilo de Zinedine Zidane sobre Marco Materazzi en la final de la Copa del Mundo 2006.
Con su equipo ganando cómodamente por 2-0, Pulido se volvió en un energúmeno al minuto 30, tras una falta que él mismo le cometió al defensor Yerson Mosquera.
If you've ever wondered who are the highest-paid women's soccer players on the planet, well, Forbes just published an article digging into the finances of the main stars at the 2023 Women's World Cup.
The business magazine talked to 20 experts in the industry to create their estimates and considered the players' salaries on-field as well as their main earnings off-field (endorsements, licensing, cash returns, etc).
The United States women's national team began their World Cup campaign in New Zealand on Friday, and their comfortable 3-0 victory over Vietnam was watched by record numbers back home on FOX and Telemundo.
Friday night’s Leagues Cup match between Inter Miami and Cruz Azul was a historical moment for soccer in the United States as Lionel Messi made his amazing debut.
Fans will talk about that night for decades. The night Messi arrived in Major League Soccer.
What isn’t being talked about as much but deserves a spotlight is the performance from Sergio Busquets who also made his Inter Miami debut.
The world watched Friday night as Lionel Messi made a dream debut for Inter Miami scoring a last-minute free kick for a 2-1 win vs. Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup.
Superstars watched on at DRV PNK stadium with the likes of LeBron James, Kim Kardashian and club owner David Beckham in attendance.
Sophia Smith scored two and assisted one for the United States women’s national team during the 3-0 victory against Vietnam in their Women’s World Cup opener. An Alex Morgan assist vs Vietnam was one of the big highlights as she cleverly set up Smith for the opening goal.
Despite the victory, USWNT fans won’t be too pleased with the performance. The Americans were far too sloppy in the final third of the field and didn’t look to be on the same page for most of the 90 minutes.
Lionel Messi es un ser mágico.
El argentino debutó con la playera del Inter Miami y de inmediato dejó un momento épico para la historia del equipo floridano. Un gol sublime de tiro libre, en el último minuto de juego, y que sirvió para vencer a Cruz Azul por 2-1 en el inicio de la Leagues Cup.
Cruz Azul tuvo incontables chances para sacar una victoria desde el DRV PNK Stadium, pero su falta de puntería se ha vuelto su pecado mortal.
How big is Lionel Messi?
Inter Miami, dead last in MLS, hosted Cruz Azul, bottom of Liga MX, in the uncelebrated Leagues Cup on Friday night, and a sellout crowd (one fan paid $3.5K for a spot near midfield) with LeBron James, Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian, Marc Anthony and Becky G in attendance showed up to watch.
You would've thought that Kim K had cursed Miami to a group stage exit, but Messi had other plans.
El debut de Lionel Messi en el Inter Miami, enfrentando a Cruz Azul en la Leagues Cup, no solo es un evento deportivo, sino que también social. Prueba de ellos es que varias celebridades estadounidenses acudieron al DRV PNK Stadium para ser testigos del estreno del campeón del mundo.
Una de las figuras más reconocibles en las tribunas fue la influencer Kim Kardashian, quien en entrevista con Apple TV señaló que su presencia se debía a que "mi hijo está obsesionado con el fútbol".
