Olympique Lyonnais, one of the best sports dynasties ever, has been dethroned.
After 14 straight D1 Féminine titles — which coincided with seven Champions League crowns — Lyon will end the 2020-21 season without either trophy, a remarkable end to one of the most dominant teams we’ve ever seen.
Soccer coaches are faced with countless unenviable problems every day: How to go about training, how to set the team up for matches, how to meld personalities into a single unit. But one problem every coach would love to have is what Vlatko Andonovski is facing ahead of this summer’s Olympics: How to cut some of the best players in the world.
Las Tigres de UANL han escrito su nombre en la historia de la Liga MX Femenil, al convertirse en las primeras bicampeonas del fútbol local. Las amazonas vencieron a las Chivas Rayadas del Guadalajara por un marcador de 5-3 y un global de 7-4.
Es la cuarta corona para las felinas, quienes dieron a entender el por qué son las reinas del fútbol femenino en México, ejerciendo un buen fútbol a la vista y una contundencia única.
It was a foggy Saturday morning soccer match and I was defending the goal spectating the action going on the field. I had stopped a few shots earlier in the match and my confidence was quickly rising. Thoughts raced through my head, realizing that I was about to officially record my first clean sheet of the season. Then as clear as day the ball was passed to me, and as I went to stop it with my foot it slowly but surely skipped right below my outstretched foot and into the awaiting net behind me.
As much as people love to hate on 2020 for being a crappy year, the sad truth is that as the calendar turns to 2021, our problems won’t magically go away. It’ll be many months — years even — until the Covid-19 vaccine can be fully administered to the global population. Most of the world’s governments are still doing everything in their power to ignore climate change. And let’s not forget police officers are still shooting unarmed Black men with near impunity. But one thing the change in year will bring about is more games on the 2021 USWNT schedule.
Watch out NWSL: Alex Morgan is on fire and the league’s long-dormant potential powerhouse is awakening. There might be no stopping the Pride — at least until the Olympics roll around.
Before the NWSL match between N.C. Courage and Orlando Pride on Saturday, Courage coach Paul Riley said his Pride counterpart was still adjusting to the American league. Marc Skinner arrived in Orlando from England, where Riley said the pace is far slower.
La Selección Mexicana Femenil tendrá un verano movidito con amistosos. El Tri, dirigido por Mónica Vergara jugará ante Japón y los Estados Unidos, con Alex Morgan y Megan Rapinoe a la cabeza. Los partidos servirán a sus rivales como preparación para los Juegos Olímpicos Tokio 2020, mientras que México se alista para las clasificatorias rumbo al Mundial de 2023.
Junto al anuncio, México también dio a conocer la convocatoria para esos partidos.

Ni “Rápido y Furioso”, de la 1 a la 9, tuvo tanta emoción como los minutos de descuento en la final de ida del Guard1anes 2021 de la Liga MX Femenil. El duelo entre Chivas y Tigres contó con chances en ambas metas, discreto cometido arbitral y unos cinco minutos de descuento que incluyeron un penal desperdiciado y el gol del triunfo felino -con dos tiros de chilena incluidos- en el minuto 95.
