The United States men’s national team has scheduled a juicy, enticing friendly game against Uruguay on June 5. This will be one of four games the USMNT plays in June. Uruguay — ranked 13th in the world — will be the highest ranked non-Concacaf opponent the U.S. has faced in over a year.
Deportivo Táchira became the first Venezuelan team to win a game in Bolivia for Copa Libertadores after beating Independiente Petrolero 2-1 on Tuesday night, in Sucre, at 9,219 feet above the sea level. Of course, all of Táchira's players need to be credited for the feat but especially the goalkeeper Christopher Varela who scored the first goal of the match from his own box.
Tigres y América protagonizarán el duelo más atractivo de la Jornada 16 del Clausura 2022. Por el tamaño de sus aficiones, el buen momento general que viven y un par de historias llenas de condimento, entre ellas el duelo que tendrá el hoy felino Sebastián Córdova contra su ex club.
Gerardo Martino announced the Mexican squad facing Guatemala in a friendly game this Wednesday, April 27. Since the match is not during a FIFA international break, the roster is heavily reliant on Liga MX but also packs a couple of surprises. The most interesting of all? The inclusion of 18-year-old and Real Sociedad B defender Jonathan Gómez, who last December made his debut in the USMNT.
Hay consenso general en torno a que el nivel del arbitraje mexicano es mediocre. Sin embargo, hace rato no se veía algo tan espantoso y vergonzoso como la actuación de Diego Montaño en el partido entre América y Club León.
Cringe por 90+ minutos.
La performance de Montaño incluyó varios cobros errados, errores de procedimiento y de extra tres tarjetas rojas a jugadores de León.
Necaxa dio uno de los grandes golpes de la Jornada 15 de la Liga MX al derribar a Tigres, uno de los líderes del torneo, en el Estadio Victoria.
El triunfo 2-0 de los Rayos, como uno podrá imaginar, no tenía muy contento al DT felino, Miguel Herrera, quien ventiló todas sus frustraciones en la conferencia de prensa. El enojo particular del Piojo se centró en el primer gol del Necaxa, el cual – según él – debió ser anulado por el VAR ante una supuesta posición fuera de juego del delantero hidrocálido Rodrigo Aguirre.

9. Kurt Zouma
Breaking into this list for the first time ever, Kurt Zouma. Man, you drop kicked your cat, that’s not cool.
8. Sexual Assaulters
Okay for number 8 on our list (honestly should be number one) are Adam Johnson, Benjamin Mendy, Mason Greenwood, Robinho, and everyone else who fits this category.
Concussions are a big topic in American sports with strict protocols in place to avoid athletes suffering severe head injuries. Hell, America has an entire movie literally called “Concussion.” FIFA and UEFA don’t appear to be on the same wavelength as head injuries aren’t taken too seriously. A Phil Foden head injury in the Champions League vs. Atlético Madrid was a prime example.
John Carlin is one of the most accomplished sportswriters of our era, but that doesn't make him immune to fucking it up. And well, he did it in a terrible fashion after criticizing the looks of Atlético Madrid players and comparing the team with the Sinaloa Cartel in his last opinion column in Diario La Vanguardia.
