Thinking back over the first six months of the Premier League season, it has seemed like an unusually poor year for goalkeepers. This has been evident from the opening weekend, when a plethora of minor goalkeeping errors led to a forgettable start to the season.
David de Gea has been sensational, but aside from the Man United keeper, who has stood out between the posts this year?
MANCHESTER — Cristiano Ronaldo broke his goal drought to score Manchester United's opener in a 2-0 victory vs. Brighton & Hove Albion that lifted them into the Premier League's top four on Tuesday.
Ronaldo, without a goal since December and dropped to the bench by interim manager Ralf Rangnick in some recent matches, struck five minutes after halftime with a superb finish after being played in by Scott McTominay.
My WORD what a strike from Ronaldo!
A un par de semanas de su inicio, la MLS abrió su clóset y comenzó a mostrar los jerseys que usarán sus equipos durante la temporada 2022. Y entre ellos está el del LA Galaxy, equipo que recurrió a Javier Hernández para presumirla ante sus fans y el resto del mundo.

Let's start this Champions League match report with one particular talking point: Change is always difficult, especially for our soccer overlords in England, and there's going to be a lot written about how Real Madrid's negative approach at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday exemplifies UEFA's mistaken decision to do away with the away goals rule.
Real Madrid’s Casemiro will miss the second leg against Paris Saint-Germain for yellow card accumulation.

Casemiro should consider himself lucky to have not seen a red card for what happened after the tackle.
While the incident is brief, Casemiro clearly grabs a hold of Paredes’ neck after the challenge.
El pasado fin de semana, Puebla y Atlas brindaron uno de los mejores partidos del fútbol mexicano en lo que va del 2022. Fue un 1-1 con emociones para los dos lados y cuyo momento cúlmine fue el empate de La Franja: una chilena espectacular de Memo Martínez en el minuto 95 de juego.
There's so much soccer on the TV screen this week that it feels we are in paradise. The soccertopia includes the Champions League in Europe, the Copa Libertadores in South America, and our old friend the Concachampions.
The knockout stages of the Champions League begin Tuesday with what's arguably the most eagerly anticipated Round of 16 matchup ever — a clash between the club that never settles for anything less than lifting the trophy, record 13-time winner Real Madrid, and the club whose entire apparatus is hellbent on making that happen for the first time, PSG.
Christian Eriksen's inspiring return to the pitch took a massive step forward Monday as the midfielder made his first appearance since suffering an on-field cardiac arrest and recorded an assist in Brentford's friendly victory over fifth-tier club Southend United. To make things even better, Eriksen was celebrating his 30th birthday.
After being fitted with a heart-starting device known as an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), Eriksen terminated his contract with Inter Milan back in December while continuing to work on his fitness with former club Ajax.
The New England Revolution officially announced the acquisition of decorated veteran Jozy Altidore on Monday.
The two-time U.S. Soccer Male Player of the Year has scored nearly 200 goals and played more than 500 matches for club and country.
