USMNT vs. Saudi Arabia player ratings: Let's do this quick and forget it ever happened

Oh boy. After getting played off the pitch against Japan last Friday, our USMNT vs Saudi Arabia player ratings from Tuesday's friendly in Spain aren't much better. 

Saudi Arabia entered the match having recently gone goalless against Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, and that lack of a cutting edge was evident against the U.S. — although the Americans did take it in turns to gift opportunities to the Green Falcons.

México vs Colombia: Alineación probable, canales de TV y horario

Lo ideal era una despedida en el Estadio Azteca, en territorio nacional. Sin embargo, la FMF y sus compromisos comerciales determinaron que el último partido de México en suelo norteamericano previo al Mundial de Catar sea en el Levi's Stadium en California, Estados Unidos. 

Ahí, el Tri enfrentará a la selección de Colombia – por primera vez en la era Martino – con varios cambios en relación al equipo que derrotó a Perú hace tres noches en el Rose Bowl.

Gianluigi Donnarumma's miracle triple-save gives Italy the win

On Monday, Italy blanked their Hungarian opponents 2-0 thanks in large part to a spectacular display from goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The USMNT's penultimate friendly before the start of the World Cup was a lesson in what not to do against Wales on Nov. 21 at Al-Rayyan Stadium.

After a headbutt a la Zidane, a France U-18 game had to be abandoned because of too many red cards

Si bien Raúl Jiménez no vive su mejor momento goleador, la lesión muscular que sufre comienza a preocupar sobremanera en la selección mexicana, al punto que la posibilidad de que se pierda el Mundial de Catar 2022 no es una idea descabellada.

Chicharito scores a brace in response to a clown-inspired tifo in the Cali Clasico

You don't provoke Javier "Chicharito" Hernández. It is the lesson that a few San Jose Earthquakes fans learned Saturday night after deploying a tifo vs. LA Galaxy that ended up inspiring the striker to score a brace against them. 

The supporter wanted to create a hostile environment for the LA Galaxy in a new edition of the Cali Clasico, unraveling a giant banner mocking them – and LAFC – with the message: "The LA Circus – Same clowns, different costumes."
