FIFA decides on Friday, June 10, if Ecuador should be disqualified from the 2022 World Cup or not — all in the context of a formal complaint filed by Chile questioning the nationality of defender Byron Castillo.
Hacer jugar bien al modesto Puebla no es el único superpoder de Nicolás Larcamón. Ahora resulta que el técnico argentino también es capaz de abrir portales en el multiverso para atraer nuevos refuerzos al club.
Sí, igualito a Benedict Cumberbatch en Doctor Strange.
Die-hard United States men’s national team fans will know the answer to the question of why is the USA playing Grenada. If you’re not as much of a super fan, then let us explain why the U.S. went from playing teams like Morocco and Uruguay to lowly Grenada.
After playing two friendly games against Morocco and Uruguay, the USMNT now has two Concacaf Nations League games to play. The first game will be in Austin, Texas, against Grenada on Friday, June 10.
La teoría de que Charlyn Corral es la Chicharito Hernández del Tri Femenil quedó básicamente comprobada luego de que la Concacaf publicara la lista provisional de las selecciones que en julio participarán del Campeonato W, un torneo que da boletos para el Mundial de Australia y Nueva Zelandia 2023, así como los Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024.
The 2022 Concacaf W Championship is just 26 days away, so USWNT manager Vlatko Andonovski has to be close to knowing the final 23-player squad he'll name for the tournament in Mexico — which serves as qualifying for both the 2023 World Cup and 2024 Olympic Games.
But he's not showing his hand yet.
On Monday, Concacaf revealed the provisional rosters for the W Championship, so while the final 23 will have to be selected from this list, the provisional roster for the USWNT includes an all-encompassing 59 names.
To look at the history of American soccer is to look at a series of poor investments, aging player, and over-ambitious owners. They all had a vision of what soccer could be in the states, but most ended up in the graveyard that we currently stand on.

Count me among the many who were disappointed when FIFA announced that the 2022 World Cup would be moved to wintertime. What is a summer without a World Cup? Fear not. Not all hope for nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat action is lost. While soccer fans will still have to wait until November for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, there are festivities this July of a different nature. July 13 marks the beginning of the first-ever FIFAe Finals, the largest event ever hosted in FIFAe history.
BELLINZONA, Switzerland - The trial of former FIFA president Sepp Blatter and French footballing legend Michel Platini over alleged corrupt payments ground to a halt on Wednesday when Blatter said he was too ill to testify.
Swiss prosecutors accuse the pair, once among football's most powerful figures, of unlawfully arranging a payment of $2.08 million in 2011. Blatter and Platini both deny the charges. But Blatter, looking frail during the hearing at the Federal Criminal Court in Bellinzona, said he was unable to address the court due to chest pains.
Si bien aún falta para el inicio del torneo, poco a poco empieza a definirse la lista de 26 futbolistas que serán parte de la convocatoria de México para el Mundial 2022.
Gerardo Martino ha ido dando pistas de que el núcleo de jugadores que ha sido parte de sus nóminas desde que asumió en el Tri en marzo de 2019 tiene básicamente asegurado su boleto a Catar, a menos que haya una lesión. El Tata también, con acciones más que palabras, ha ido dejando claro los nombres de los que están peleando un cupo para la Copa del Mundo y de aquellos que mejor no se hagan ilusiones.
El fútbol mexicano vive un momento histórico y no es una exageración. Ana Galindo guiará a la sub 17 en una gira por Japón y se convertirá en la primera directora técnica en dirigir a un seleccionado varonil del Tri.
