The biggest quadrennial men’s soccer game in America is on Friday. Chances are, you or someone you know has no idea what’s going on. That’s fine. We’re here to explain USA vs Mexico, to either help you explain what’s going on to your filthy casual friends or so you don’t look like the dummy to your buddies on Friday night.
NBC’s eight-year grip on the U.S., English-language TV rights to the Premier League may be at an end. Who ends up with the next big rights package remains to be seen, but one of the biggest players in American sports broadcasting has entered the fray.
ESPN confirmed it has placed a bid for the rights to broadcast the English Premier League in the U.S. on Tuesday, saying soccer is very much a part of its plans for ESPN+ moving forward.
Ryan Reynolds is fairly new to this soccer thing. The Canadian movie star recently bought one of the world’s oldest clubs, Wrexham AFC, with fellow funnyman Rob McElhenney. The two attended their first Wrexham game on Tuesday, an away match against Maidenhead United at York Road. Though still a novice, Reynolds showed an uncanny and deep understanding of what British soccer is all about after attending just one match.
Por decimosexta ocasión consecutiva, un equipo mexicano ganará la Concacaf Champions League.
La final de la edición 2021 enfrentará a América y Monterrey, dos clubes que ya han ganado el trofeo en el pasado y que, curiosamente, nunca perdieron en la definición por el título. Las Águilas accedieron a esta instancia en siete ocasiones y ganaron las siete, mientras que Rayados hizo lo mismo cuatro veces.
Soy un amante del fútbol de selecciones, al punto que me gusta sacar capa y espada para defenderlo de los discursos europeos que buscan menoscabarlo. Sin embargo, la o las personas que planificaron el amistoso entre México y Ecuador para este miércoles 27 de octubre merecen algún tipo de castigo por la imperial desprolijidad de programarlo en unos de los peores momentos de la historia. OK, lo último es una exageración, pero no quita el hecho de que la elección de la fecha sea un desastre.
Además de dinero, ¿qué diablos estaban pensando?
Last week, Arsène Wenger — now FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development — told a refereeing convention in France that refs should give post-match press conferences.
“It would be a good way to avoid controversy and shut them down before they became a public debate,” Wenger said. “We would have to get the support of referees, and I don’t know what kind of state of mind they’re in after games to be able to give an opinion.”
Carli Lloyd’s final USWNT appearance is Tuesday, Oct. 26, in a friendly against South Korea from Saint Paul, Minnesota. One of the greatest women’s soccer players of all time is retiring at the end of the NWSL season to start a family, and she’ll have one last sendoff with the national team. To commemorate her final cap, Fox Soccer will have a dedicated stream — a Carli Cam, if you will — following her every move at Allianz Field, according to Engadget.
El próximo domingo 24 de octubre será uno de esos días que todo fanático del fútbol sueña. Uno de esos días en que uno despierta y espera que nadie lo moleste. Nadie. Una cita íntima entre tú, el televisor y el control remoto.
Juventus’ 2020-21 season, Andrea Pirlo’s first and only in charge, was a failure by the club’s own lofty standards. Pirlo delivered the Coppa and Supercoppa, but Juve’s nine-year grip on the Scudetto was ended by Inter Milan while Cristiano Ronaldo’s Champions League dream was humiliatingly crushed by Porto in the Round of 16.
The fallout was immense with Pirlo sacked and Ronaldo sold, making the campaign one of Juve’s most dramatic — thankfully, Amazon Prime Video Sport was there filming it all.
If you were able to watch the Champions League on Paramount+ on Tuesday without interruptions, then you were one of the lucky ones. If you’re like me, you were stuck looking up “Paramount plus down” or “Paramount plus Champions League down.”
The first half went smoothly for me. I watched a bit of the Transnistria underdogs Sheriff and then hopped over to watch Ajax and Dortmund. Everything went wrong when I heard that Sheriff equalized against Inter Milan seven minutes into the second half. When I tried to switch games, I was greeted with this.
