¿Gignac de portero? Los errores de Raúl Orvañanos en el Tigres vs. León

Todos nos equivocamos. Todos. Sin embargo, el narrador de Fox Sports Raúl Orvañanos parece haber hecho del error una especie de deporte olímpico. Tanto que si los relatos de Tigres vs. León jugado la noche del miércoles en la Concacaf Champions League hubiera sido una competencia oficial, el tipo habría ganado el oro.

Orvañanos no tuvo su mejor noche ante los micrófonos. Es una realidad. Si bien es normal confundir a uno que otro jugador en la narración, los niveles de equivocación en la jornada fueron demasiado notorios como para que las hordas en Twitter no se dieran cuenta.

¿Por qué Gignac no celebró sus goles ante el Motagua?

Las aguas están más tranquilas en Tigres.

El equipo arrolló 5-0 a Motagua y selló su clasificación a las semifinales de la Concacaf Champions League, en el debut de Robert Dante Siboldi en la banca felina. Sin embargo, las heridas de una irregular campaña siguen abiertas y reflejo de esto fue que André-Pierre Gignac decidió no celebrar ninguno de los dos goles que anotó ante el equipo hondureño.

No lo hizo en el derechazo de larga distancia que abrió el marcador.

Philadelphia Union’s unprovoked tweet about Jalisco is the definition of classless

Philadelphia Union’s Twitter community manager, in the attempt to heat up their upcoming Concacaf Champions League match against Atlas in Guadalajara, made one of the most unfortunate and unprovoked social media posts from a professional soccer team we’ve seen in a while.

The Union arrived to Guadalajara, Jalisco on Monday to begin their preparations ahead of their CCL quarterfinal clash against Atlas. They will defend their 1-0 lead in the Estadio Jalisco on Wednesday.

Aaron Long showcases his brilliance blocking a shot while face-down on the ground

Los Angeles FC and United States men's national team center back Aaron Long has a superhuman ability to block shots. This whole time Long has been hiding his true defensive qualities. 

On Wednesday night during LAFC's 3-0 Concacaf Champions League victory vs. the Vancouver Whitecaps, he showed fans a glimpse of what he’s capable of.

Long decided that defending the old fashioned way was too easy. Instead, he opted to lay face-down on the floor and dared his opponents to try and shoot. Vancouver’s Javain Brown fell for the bait and was thwarted by the Long-inator.
