Sparks tend to fly when the United States and Mexico meet on the same field. The rivalry between North America’s two best national teams always produces entertainment and golazos. Some of the best USA vs Mexico goals have been scored in the last 20 years.
The Tyler Adams goal vs Mexico during Sunday’s Concacaf Nations League final will go down as one of the best in the rivalry between the two North American rivals.
The United States men's national team defeated Mexico 2-0 yet again to lift the continental trophy.
The context behind Adams' goal only adds to its lore. He was making his first start for the USMNT in 475 days after a major hamstring injury that required multiple surgeries. He was a surprise start against Mexico as many expected Johnny Cardoso to be in the starting XI.
A casual soccer fan checking the score of the United States men’s national team’s Concacaf Nations League semifinal vs. Jamaica will see the 3-1 final score and assume it was a business-as-usual victory.
It was anything but.
The USMNT only secured the victory thanks to a Jamaica own goal in the final seconds of regulation to send the game to extra time. Gregg Berhalter’s job was dangling by a rope the size of a mosquito’s leg.
A Miles Robinson header and subsequent deflection off Cory Burke’s cranium was Berhalter’s savior.
The wonders of autotune have forever changed the music landscape, now it’s made its way to the broadcasting scene.
In a hilarious video a commentator in Argentina didn’t realize autotune was turned on while calling an Argentina Reserve League game.
Excursionistas opened the scoring with a great cross and finish, but this goal will always be remembered for the autoned commentary.

The Raheem Sterling free kick vs Leicester City from Chelsea’s 4-2 FA Cup quarterfinal victory went viral due to how awful it was. We’re not exaggerating when we say this could be the worst free kick of all time.
In the 75th minute with the game tied at 2-2, Sterling was presented with a free kick just outside of the Foxes’ box. A major opportunity for the Blues.
Getting the ball up and over the wall but still on target isn’t easy from that close, but Sterling was prepared. He confidently stepped up, smashed the ball and then probably knocked someone out in the 25th row.
Player-to-player relationships within the same squad are inappropriate and can lead to significant challenges for managers, Chelsea coach Emma Hayes said.
Reports in British media this week said Leicester coach Willie Kirk is under investigation by the club amid allegations of a player-coach relationship.
Asked about the need to safeguard players, Hayes told reporters: "Player-coach relationships - they're inappropriate, player-to-player relationships are inappropriate."

DORTMUND — Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus were on target as Borussia Dortmund secured a nervous 2-0 win over PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday and a Champions League last-eight place for the first time in three years with a 3-1 aggregate victory.
Luuk de Jong could have sent the game into extra time when he was left free in front of goal but instead of tapping in, he sent the ball wildly over the bar in stoppage time.

The CBS Sports Champions League crew are always teasing one another and providing hilarious moments on camera, but a Jamie Carragher Kate Abdo joke went too far during Tuesday’s coverage.
Carragher, Abdo, Thierry Henry and Micah Richards provided their coverage and analysis from Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.
The crew were doing a bit during the show where each of them had to wear an Arsenal jersey during the broadcast. Former Manchester City player Richards was the first to wear it before it was passed on to Liverpool great Carragher.
An unthinkable Cristiano Ronaldo miss vs. Al Ain in the AFC Champions League quarterfinal on Monday proved crucial as Al Nassr were eliminated on penalties.
United Arab Emirates side Al Ain won the first leg at home 1-0 but faced a tall task in the return leg in Saudi Arabia. They shocked the hosts taking a 2-0 lead in the first half, but then the Saudi side mounted a comeback.
Ronaldo had a massive opportunity to tie the aggregate score in the 61st minute when Al Ain’s goalkeeper spilled the ball right in front of the Portuguese star. What happened next was shocking.
