España tuvo que ir a los penales para deshacerse de Suiza y avanzar a las semifinales de la Euro 2020. Y para suerte de los hispanos, en la portería estuvo Unai Simón y no su arquero habitual, David de Gea.
Switzerland ran out of gas in a shootout defeat to Spain in the Euro 2020 quarterfinals on Friday. The Swiss had two tame penalties saved and a third blasted into the stands as Spain won the shootout 3-1 after a 1-1 draw in regulation. But take nothing away from the performance of goalkeeper Yann Sommer, who valiantly gave Switzerland a chance with nine saves.

La selección olímpica de México salió de paseo por el Nissan Stadium de Nashville y logró un elocuente triunfo por 3-0 sobre su similar de Panamá, en un amistoso previo a su viaje a Tokio. Pero más importante aún, ganó puntos en su batalla contra el “eeeeh, puto”, el nefasto grito homófobo que suele salir de las tribunas y que se ha transformado en un verdadero dolor de cabeza para el fútbol azteca.
When you look at the Chile national team, one player might appear out of place. Ben Brereton is not your usual Chilean; he doesn’t even speak Spanish, the primary language spoken by the rest of the team. The English-Chilean forward had played with England's U19 and U20 national teams for almost five years before switching to Chile's squad this year for the Copa América.
Ucrania está en los cuartos de final de la Euro 2020. La selección de Andriy Schevchenko se deshizo de Suecia de manera dramática, en el minuto 121 de la prórroga, en un partido parejo, emotivo y que dejó un momento realmente espeluznante: la terrible patada que recibió el delantero Artem Besyedin.
La jugada se produjo en el minuto 97 y en ella se ve al defensor sueco Marcus Danielson, entrando con los tachones arriba y sobre la rodilla de Besyedin. En principio, el árbitro le había puesto amarilla, pero tras revisar el VAR, la roja se volvió inevitable.
The Round of 16 duel between Sweden and Ukraine finished with the underdogs Ukraine claiming a 2-1 victory. A disturbing Artem Besyedin injury in extra time put a major damper on the mood.

La victoria de Uruguay 1-0 sobre Paraguay y la goleada 4-1 de Argentina sobre Bolivia cerraron la fase de grupos de la Copa América 2021.
El punto a destacar, por supuesto, fue Lionel Messi, quien se convirtió en el jugador con más partidos en la historia de la Albiceleste, con 148. En modo celebratorio, La Pulga además dio una asistencia y marcó un doblete en el triunfo ante la selección altiplánica.

England picked up an iconic 2-0 win against Germany in front of 40,000 fans at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday to advance to the quarterfinals.
The win was England’s first competitive victory in a knockout game against Germany since the 1966 World Cup Final.
This was also the result that every neutral fan dreaded. England deserves top marks for its defensive efforts in the tournament so far. The English defense has played four games and gone perfect with four clean sheets. But holy cow is it hard to stay awake watching the Three Lions play.
BUENOS AIRES — With his inauspicious Argentina debut nothing but a distant memory, Lionel Messi became his country's most capped player on Monday in their 4-1 Copa America victory over Bolivia.
A perennial candidate in the 'Greatest of All Time' debate, Messi marked the occasion in style with a virtuoso performance, scoring twice and setting up another in his 148th national team appearance, surpassing Javier Mascherano's record.
That didn't take long
