Canada’s World Cup odds aren’t amazing. Being in a group with No. 2 in the world Belgium, 2018 World Cup runner-up Croatia and Morocco is less than ideal. Despite being underdogs, Canada’s dominant 4-0 victory against Curacao on Thursday with Alphonso Davies pulling the strings was a good sign that Canada could cause trouble in Group F.
Un lindo gol de Efraín Álvarez ayudó a amortiguar la contundente e inapelable derrota de México ante Francia, en las semifinales del Torneo Maurice Revello, ex Esperanzas de Toulon.
El dominio galo a lo largo del partido, tanto en el aspecto físico como en lo técnico, fue realmente incontestable y describir el duelo como un baile no es para nada una exageración. De hecho, el 4-1 se siente como si Francia le hubiera hecho precio al Tri.
Igual, pese a la superioridad francesa, México no se quedó con las manos vacías.
England tied Germany 1-1 on Tuesday in the UEFA Nations League with Harry Kane converting a controversial penalty in the 88th minute to earn the Three Lions a draw. The England penalty vs Germany was a soft call and had hints of Kane being offside.
Después de haber tocado fondo ante Uruguay, México mostró un mucho mejor rostro ante Ecuador en el Soldier Field de Chicago. El Tri, sin embargo, sigue sin convencer del todo y no pudo pasar del 0-0 ante la selección sudamericana.
The USMNT vs. Uruguay friendly never got going in the way we imagined on Sunday night at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City. At the end of the day, the main talking point is that Uruguay manager Diego Alonso made seven substitutions — Diego Rossi and Facundo Pellistri somehow entered the match together in the 68th minute when that obviously shouldn't have been allowed.
Con cinco goles de Lionel Messi, Argentina venció a Estonia y continúa su tour de la alegría.
La Albiceleste sumó 33 partidos sin perder y poco a poco se instala como una de las selecciones favoritas para quedarse con la Copa del Mundo Catar 2022. ¿Lo de Messi? Sensacional.
Con un penal de Santi Muñoz y un remate que por poco no saca llamas de Jorge Ruvalcaba, la selección sub 21 de México firmó una victoria por 2-0 sobre Indonesia, en el tradicional torneo Maurice Revello. Si bien la performance del Tri fue bastante vainilla, el triunfo al menos alcanzó al menos para mantener las esperanzas de avanzar a las semifinales de la competencia.
Indonesia no fue un rival muy incómodo para México. Nunca desafió el control de balón ni tampoco creó oportunidades que pusieran nerviosa a su línea defensiva.
You get the feeling that if Ukraine had been playing any other nation on the planet in Sunday's playoff, they'd be going to the World Cup. The team picked up where it left off against Scotland — playing with a passion, verve and energy that saw the visitors threaten to play Wales off the park at Cardiff City Stadium.
The San Diego Wave twice came from a goal down thanks to an Alex Morgan brace, including a 90th-minute equalizer, to snatch a 2-2 draw with Kansas City on Saturday to stay atop the early NWSL standings with 13 points from seven games.
The Wave is undefeated at home (2-0), but they've been exceptionally good on the road for an expansion side (2-2-1). They just wouldn't quit on Sunday at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City.
Kristen Hamilton had given the Current the lead in the 11th-minute, but Morgan brought the Wave level from the spot in the 37th.
BRUSSELS — Memphis Depay scored a double as the Netherlands ended 25 years without success against neighbors Belgium with a 4-1 thumping of their hosts in the Nations League in Brussels on Friday.
Steven Bergwijn and Denzel Dumfries netted the other two goals as the Dutch ended Belgium’s almost six-year unbeaten home record in a stark reversal for the team, who had topped the FIFA rankings for three years until being recently deposed.
