¡Toc, toc! La Liga MX está de regreso esta semana y con sus litros de fútbol champagne ni te darán ganas de ir al antro. Porque todo lo que necesitas para este viernes, por ejemplo, te lo dará un Necaxa vs Juárez.
Despite pandemics and lawsuits, one constant for the U.S. women’s national team lately has been the SheBelieves Cup. Every year since 2016, the USWNT has hosted some of the best teams in the world in a four-team competition aimed at inspiring young women. Unfortunately, the 2022 SheBelieves Cup looks like it’ll be the least inspiring yet.
Perhaps more so than any other type of soccer, international football lends itself to the hero forward who saves the day with a miraculous goal. Whether it’s Pelé dominating the men’s World Cup, Michelle Akers scoring at will at the Women’s World Cup, Landon Donovan’s unforgettable finish against Algeria or Carli Lloyd’s midfield bomb in 2015, there’s something about the international game that loves a star goal scorer.

In 2021 and soon-to-be 2022, it’s officially cool to believe in the USMNT again.
The two years after the disaster in Couva against Trinidad and Tobago was a gray, murky time period with nothing to show for it. In 2019 the Americans lost both games against foe Mexico, including the Gold Cup final. Several months later Canada defeated the U.S. in Concacaf Nations League play and it felt like everything was falling apart for this team.
One of the greatest aspects of soccer is the ability for anyone to play anywhere, at any time — all you need is a ball and love for the game. There is but one piece of mandatory protection in official matches. So why do soccer players wear shin guards and nothing else, and are they effective?
Cruz Azul voló durante el primer semestre del año. El equipo ganó la fase regular del Guard1anes 2021 con un récord de 41 puntos, igualó la marca histórica de 12 triunfos consecutivos en Liga MX y logró romper una maldición de 23 años sin títulos. El Cruz Azul era básicamente un Súper Cruz Azul y no pocos creyeron que La Máquina, por la calidad de sus jugadores, se convertiría en un equipo que marcaría época. La palabra dinastía sonaba como eco en periódicos, estudios de TV y sitios web, e incluso los miembros del plantel lo veían como una posibilidad.
After a 2020 that was, in many ways, a lost year for international soccer, the U.S. women’s national team went into 2021 with high hopes. The year ended with feelings of missed opportunities and the need for a rethink moving forward less than 20 months away from the next Women’s World Cup.
