Last week, I felt privileged to attend the first-ever MLS game on Thanksgiving. It was an odd event I couldn’t not attend. Turns out, a lot of people tuned in to watch on FOX — just not the massive MLS TV ratings being reported elsewhere.
Cristiano Ronaldo has hit back at comments made by Ballon d'Or organizer Pascal Ferré, saying the editor-in-chief of France Football "lied" about his rivalry with Lionel Messi.
Ferré told the New York Times on Friday that Manchester United forward Ronaldo's sole ambition was to retire with more of the awards for the world's best player than Messi.
Lionel Messi won his record-extending seventh men’s Ballon d’Or on Monday. Anyone who watched him carry both Argentina and Barcelona over the last year knows he absolutely deserved it. But even Messi admitted on Monday that Robert Lewandowski deserves the 2020 Ballon d’Or.
Lionel Messi edged Robert Lewandowski for the men’s 2021 Ballon d’Or, the Argentine’s record-extending seventh trophy as the best men’s player in the world. But Cristiano Ronaldo, who didn’t even attend the award show in Paris, still managed to make it all about him.
Messi, who this year helped Argentina win the 2021 Copa América and Barcelona win the Copa del Rey (lol), was also named the world’s best men’s player in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2019.
HERE IS THE WINNER!
The UK was hit by a wintry blast from the Arctic this weekend as Storm Arwen brought high winds, freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall across the nation, while England and the Premier League experienced the brunt of it on Sunday.
The weather disrupted football matches across the land, most notably at Turf Moor as Burnley and Tottenham’s match was called off less than an hour before kickoff.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche, despite appearing pitch-side to monitor the situation in only a dress shirt, agreed with the decision.
Sin liguilla en el horizonte, Chivas comienza a preparar el Clausura 2022. Y en una de sus primeras movidas, el Rebaño acaba de sacarse un gran peso de encima: Oribe Peralta.
Más allá de su reciente regreso a la Selección de Colombia, hay poco fútbol en la vida de James Rodríguez por estos días. El mediocampista del Al-Rayyan, en Catar, está suspendido por insultar a un árbitro luego de una falta que le cometieron y en la sección de noticias de los portales noticiosos su nombre solo hace ruido en las columnas de chisme. Desde los rumores a que era el rey de la fiesta en el Bayern Munich a su nuevo look de pelo calipso, similar al de Karol G, la cantante con quien la prensa rosa lo vincula románticamente.
El Apertura 2021 es historia para Chivas. Y no de la buena.
La escuadra dirigida por Michel Leaño cayó ante Puebla, en la ronda de repechaje y a través de una dramática tanda de lanzamientos penales. La derrota, obviamente, desató los lamentos entre los Chivahermanos, a la vez que fanáticos de otros equipos recordaron el célebre meme "Ya, Gonzalo".
Ignacio Jeraldino llegó a Santos Laguna en diciembre de 2020 con una maleta llena de ilusiones. Luego de un mal paso por el Atlas, el delantero chileno apostaba que el cambio de aires sería perfecto para demostrar sus capacidades goleadoras.
Cada cambio es para mejor ⚽️
