RIO DE JANEIRO - The president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has been removed from office for 30 days by the organization’s ethics commission, it said on Sunday, only a week before Brazil is due to host the Copa América.
Brazilian news reports said Rogério Caboclo was accused of sexually harassing an employee.
The CBF gave few details.
Estados Unidos se coronó campeón de la Nations League de la Concacaf, luego de vencer a México por 3-2, en un partido que fue un verdadero remolino de emociones.
Hubo goles, múltiples llegadas a los pórticos, amagues de batallas campales, VAR, prórroga y hasta un penal perdido en el minuto 123.
A sensational, helter skelter Concacaf Nations League final between the USMNT and Mexico in Denver, Colorado, was ultimately won 3-2 by the home nation after a 120-minute match that included sensational moments of play, godawful refereeing, raucous fan behavior, five goals and a backup goalkeeper making a decisive penalty save at the death.
The story of the Reyna family is well-known on the pitch. Claudio excelled for the USMNT, winning 112 caps and playing at three World Cups, and his 18-year-old son Gio has already shown early signs of usurping his genius.
On Sunday evening, Gio scored his third senior U.S. goal in only his seventh appearance. It was his first competitive goal for the USMNT, serving as a 27th minute equalizer against Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League final.
MIDDLESBROUGH, England - A makeshift England side beat Romania 1-0 in their final Euro 2020 warm-up game on Sunday as Marcus Rashford converted a 68th-minute penalty after manager Gareth Southgate made nine changes to the team that beat Austria by the same score on Wednesday.
Rashford left Florin Niță rooted to his line with a perfectly taken spot kick after Tiberiu Căpuşă brought down Jack Grealish but the Romanian goalkeeper did well 10 minutes later when he saved a Jordan Henderson penalty.
"El Partido Que Nadie Quiere Perder", hoy tiene un nuevo capítulo. En Denver, Colorado, México y Estados Unidos vuelven a enfrentarse, esta vez para decidir al campeón de la Nations League de la Concacaf.
Ahead of Argentina and Lionel Messi beginning 2021 Copa América play against Chile on June 14, adidas has launched the special edition cleats that Messi will wear throughout the tournament, dubbed “El Retorno” (“The Return”).
The name comes from Messi’s transition from the Nemeziz silo back to a boot — the X50 Speedflow — that takes it’s inspiration from the F30 cleats that he wore during Barcelona’s 2007 Copa del Rey run.
Nunca hay que poner títulos con la palabra “aburrido” o cualquier cosa que sugiera que la historia no es digna de contar, pero, ¡ay, muchachos! qué soporífico fue el amistoso entre las selecciones olímpicas de México y Rumanía. Justito después del almuerzo fue difícil mantener los ojos abiertos, pero por suerte Jesús “Canelo” Angulo dio algo para hablar y un triunfo para el Tri.
England will continue to take a knee during the European Championship and ignore any "adverse reaction" to taking part in the anti-racism gesture, manager Gareth Southgate said on Saturday.
Boos could be heard from sections of the crowd at the Riverside Stadium when players took the knee before England's friendly win over Austria on Wednesday.
A una semana del inicio de la Copa América aún es un misterio si el torneo se va a jugar o no. La CONMEBOL se vio obligada a cambiar la doble sede de la competencia, debido a los problemas sociales de Colombia y la emergencia sanitaria en Argentina, relocalizándola en Brasil, una de las naciones más golpeadas por la Covid-19. La decisión ha causado descontento en varios sectores, incluyendo a los futbolistas que, en teoría, deben jugar en el evento.
