Mexican wonderkid Marcelo Flores didn't play a single minute in Arsenal's 3-0 Monday debacle against Crystal Palace, but he still found a way to look on the bright side of his first-ever call-up to the Gunners' first squad.
"Unfortunate result but loved the environment and experience, COYG," he wrote on his Instagram, 24 hours after the defeat.
Un par de horas antes de que la selección adulta de México celebrara su clasificación a Catar 2022, Marcelo Flores sumó nuevos puntos para ser considerado en la nómina final del Tri en la Copa del Mundo.
Tal como hace un par de días, en donde mareó defensores con sus lujos, el jugador del Arsenal volvió a presumir sus cualidades en un amistoso ante Uruguay Sub 20. El Tri ganó 3-2 y Flores aportó con un doblete y una asistencia.
Tardó siete meses, pero al final llegó: Santi Muñoz convirtió su primer gol vistiendo el jersey del Newcastle Sub 23, en la victoria 4-3 sobre el West Bromwich Albion.
El delantero mexicano aterrizó en las Urracas con bastantes expectativas mediáticas, debido a la similitud de su nombre con la del ficticio Santi Muniz de la película "Goal!", quien en busca de la gloria mundial empieza su carrera europea, justamente, en el Newcastle.
The tuxedo is out of the closet once again. This time it's to welcome a new edition of Copa Libertadores. Palmeiras (Brazil) has won the last two championships, and the logical question is who will be the team that will challenge its dominance?
The tournament will kick off Tuesday, Feb. 8, with the match between Montevideo City Torque (Uruguay) vs. Barcelona SC (Ecuador) for the first of three qualifying rounds before the group stage.
No sé con que estará alimentando la familia Flores a sus hijos, pero sea lo que sea está funcionando y quiero la receta.
Ricardo Pepi won’t be playing in Major League Soccer for much longer. The 18-year-old American phenom has requested a transfer from FC Dallas and is being eyed up by some of Europe’s biggest clubs. In an interview with 90 Minute Football, Pepi revealed that his dream is to play for Real Madrid. That begs the question; has an American played for Real Madrid?
La vida hoy le copió un poco a la película "Goal!" (2005).
¿La recuerdas? OK, resumen rápido para aquellos que se dicen fanáticos del fútbol, pero aún no la han visto: Santiago Muñez (Kuno Becker) es un mexicano indocumentado que trabaja en cocinas de Los Angeles, pero que un día se tropieza con la oportunidad de probarse en el Newcastle United, en la Premier League. El joven llega al equipo reserva de las Urracas, pero luego de superar los retos y desafíos que tiene toda película consigue el éxito y la gloria.

The NCAA has adopted a new interim policy that provides college athletes with the opportunity to profit off their name, image and likeness (NIL). Including all the top three divisions of all NCAA sports nationwide, almost 460,000 athletes now have the liberty to be compensated for their worth and what they bring to their school. Before the new policy came into effect, the NCAA owned the public rights of every athlete as a part of their scholarship agreement.
The U.S. men's national team defeated Mexico in a highly contested match on Sunday to win the CONCACAF Nations League, marking the country’s first competitive victory over its rivals since September 10th, 2013.
The fruitless streak continued so long that I personally graduated middle school, high school and was just one year away from graduating college before the U.S. was victorious again. Christian Pulisic, the American captain who scored the go-ahead goal, was just 14 years old when the U.S. last claimed victory.
