Gerardo Martino announced the Mexican squad facing Guatemala in a friendly game this Wednesday, April 27. Since the match is not during a FIFA international break, the roster is heavily reliant on Liga MX but also packs a couple of surprises. The most interesting of all? The inclusion of 18-year-old and Real Sociedad B defender Jonathan Gómez, who last December made his debut in the USMNT.
Tenida especial para una jornada especial.

¡Llegó el día! Jesús Corona se estrenó como goleador del Sevilla y aportó con un doblete en la victoria 2-3 de los andaluces en su visita al Levante, en un duelo válido por la Jornada 33 de LaLiga.
No hay dudas de que Tecatito ha vivido un resurgimiento futbolístico desde su arribo al equipo español, a comienzos de 2022. Sin embargo, al seleccionado mexicano aún le faltaba consagrar ese buen momento con un gol.
Y ante el Levante, Corona pagó su deuda e incluso dejó un abono extra para futuras cuentas.
D.C. United have "exchanged proposals" with star winger Gareth Bale, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
The MLS club initially spoke with the 32-year-old Welsh captain's representatives months ago "but it didn't go anywhere," the newspaper's soccer writer posted on Twitter.
In a reply to his own tweet, the writer characterized a scenario that would bring Bale to the nation's capital as "very far-fetched."
MADRID - Real Madrid's Karim Benzema struck an added time winner as the visitors recovered from two goals down to beat title rivals Sevilla 3-2 in a thrilling LaLiga clash on Sunday that took Carlo Ancelotti's side a step closer to winning the title.
The victory means Real now have a 15-point lead at the top over second-placed Barcelona, who have two games in hand, and Sevilla in third with six rounds of matches remaining.
WHO ELSE BUT KING BENZEMA!!
Barcelona is out of the Europa League. What could have been a consolation prize in Xavi’s first year as Barça manager has turned into another embarrassment for a club in transition after Lionel Messi’s exit. More importantly, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Colombian striker Rafael Borré scored one of the goals of the tournament with a 30-yard worldie before paying tribute to Cafeteros legend Freddy Rincón, who tragically died just hours earlier.
There's nothing better than a well executed slow burn.
Concussions are a big topic in American sports with strict protocols in place to avoid athletes suffering severe head injuries. Hell, America has an entire movie literally called “Concussion.” FIFA and UEFA don’t appear to be on the same wavelength as head injuries aren’t taken too seriously. A Phil Foden head injury in the Champions League vs. Atlético Madrid was a prime example.
Un día después, el sublime pase de Luka Modrić que encarriló la clasificación del Real Madrid a las semifinales de la Champions League continúa dando vueltas en mi cabeza. Sinceramente, perdí la cuenta de las veces que lo vi y estoy seguro de que no soy el único dándole y dándole al play.
John Carlin is one of the most accomplished sportswriters of our era, but that doesn't make him immune to fucking it up. And well, he did it in a terrible fashion after criticizing the looks of Atlético Madrid players and comparing the team with the Sinaloa Cartel in his last opinion column in Diario La Vanguardia.
