South Korea Ends Another Epic USWNT Win Streak

If the USWNT’s two October friendlies were supposed to be feel-good send-offs for Carli Lloyd, no one told Yoon Young-Guel and South Korea. 

Yoon made eight saves to earn a 0-0 draw against the U.S., ending the USWNT’s 22-game home winning streak on Thursday at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas. The last time the U.S. failed to win on home soil was Oct. 6, 2019, a 1-1 draw to this same South Korea side, a match that ended the USWNT’s 17-game winning streak that included winning the 2019 Women’s World Cup.

Instead, the 43-year-old former Chelsea star is spending this international break holding a charity match with his former club, Marseille. Even three years after he retired as a member of Phoenix Rising in the USL Championship, the Ivory Coast international’s still got it.

Samir Nasri, on the other hand, has been enjoying his retirement quite a bit, the 34-year-old having only announced he’s leaving the game a few weeks ago.

Carli Lloyd’s playing career is coming to an end. But first, two final farewell matches later this month against South Korea. On Wednesday, coach Vlatko Andonovski named his USWNT roster for the upcoming friendlies, which are little more than a chance to send Lloyd off in style.

América Debe Condenar Públicamente El Acto De Racismo Que Acusa Miguel Layún

América y Pumas trasladaron su tradicional rivalidad a Carson, California, para un partido amistoso.

María Sánchez Tiene Una Bazuca En Su Pierna Izquierda Y El Estadio Azteca Fue Testigo De Su Poder

Dentro de las muchas habilidades y talentos que empaca María Sánchez, hay una que sobresale: la potencia de su pierna izquierda. La mediocampista de Tigres tiene realmente una bazuca con la que perfora corazones e ilusiones rivales. No importa si el balón está en movimiento o si es una oportunidad de tiro libre, cada vez que percuta uno espera que la arquera rival esté confesada.

Ese poder, por cierto, estuvo en exhibición en el amistoso que disputaron la selección mexicana y su similar de Colombia, en el Estadio Azteca.
