La Selección Mexicana busca acabar con maldición postmundialista que la persigue desde 2002

México se alista para enfrentar a Surinam por la Nations League en su primer partido oficial luego del fracaso que supuso el Mundial de 2022. La idea, obviamente, es borrar el mal sabor que dejó el paso del Tri por Catar, así como empezar con el pie derecho el proceso de Diego Cocca al mando del equipo.

Pero no es lo único. La Selección Mexicana también busca acabar con un maleficio que la persigue desde 2002.

We rate the incredible new adidas away kits for the 2023 Women’s World Cup

The hype for the 2023 Women’s World Cup continues to build as the tournament is only four months away. New adidas Women’s World Cup kits released on Thursday added to the excitement as the sportswear giant unveiled some works of art.

Six away Women’s World Cup kits for Germany, Spain, Japan, Sweden, Argentina and Colombia were shown off. All the tops draw inspiration from the beauty and geography of each country. The result is six truly remarkable kits.

We took it upon ourselves to rate each of the six kits.

Sin Memo y con Bebote: La alineación que México prepara para enfrentar a Surinam y olvidar las penas

Es hora de ponerle punto final al duelo y olvidar todo lo que pasó en Catar 2022. La era de Diego Cocca al mando de la Selección Mexicana y el proceso al Mundial 2026 comienzan este jueves (8 p.m. ET) con una visita a Surinam por la Liga de Naciones de la Concacaf.

La gran pregunta alrededor del duelo es cuál será el equipo que parará Cocca en su debut con el Tri.

FIFA 23 in real life: Argentina will play River Plate in a friendly game

If you’ve played enough of the FIFA video game series with friends, then you’re probably familiar with randomizing the teams before a game. Sometimes you’ll get a strange matchup where one player gets a national team and the other gets a club. 

That would never happen in real life, right? 

Friday will see a situation just like that as the Argentina national team announced it will play a friendly against Primera División leaders River Plate. The game is part of a national celebration for Argentina’s triumph in Qatar.

If you are too sensitive, YOU SHOULD NOT WATCH what happened to Irven Ávila's elbow

It's been a while since I last saw an injury on a soccer field that sent shivers right down my spine. However, the unfortunate elbow dislocation suffered by Peruvian player Irven Ávila ended the stretch.

If you don't want to see what happened to him, it's time to close this tab and keep living your life far from pain. Please, don't say I didn't warn you.

Irven Ávila elbow injury

Just four minutes after scoring the first goal in Sporting Cristal's 2-1 win over Atlético Grau, life was not very kind for the 32-year-old veteran Ávila.

Goalkeeper goes coast-to-coast and possibly breaks the record for longest goal ever scored

Cobresal goalkeeper Leandro Requena is over the moon not only because he scored a rare coast-to-coast goal against Chilean giants Colo Colo in a 3-1 win last Saturday, but also because his feat might have broken the record for the longest goal ever scored in professional soccer. 

The funny thing is he wasn't even trying. 

Carlos Vela protagoniza el momento más cute de la Champions League

Carlos Vela anduvo medio desenchufado en el duelo de vuelta de los octavos de final de la Concacaf Champions League ante Alajuelense. Y el LAFC lo sufrió. Sin embargo, cuando la realidad apremiaba y la Huesuda afilaba la guadaña, el mexicano concentró sus energías, marcó el gol de la clasificación de su equipo y en su festejo nos dio el momento más ¡aaaaawww! del torneo.

Stoppage time record? Under a downpour, Bolivian league game goes until the 133rd minute

Stoppage time in soccer is getting out of control. At the World Cup in Qatar, we saw how the customary three to five added minutes went right to the 10+ zone, while FIFA — through the International Football Association Board (IFAB) — recently suggested leagues worldwide follow suit as a way to "increase the net playing time and reduce time-wasting."

Gol iluminado de Aldo Rocha consagra la épica remontada del Atlas en la Champions League

Parecía imposible. Por el nivel de juego y los salvajes rumores de peleas internas. Sin embargo, Atlas lo logró. Los rojinegros dieron vuelta un trágico 4-1 ante el Olimpia de Honduras en un 4-0 en el Jalisco que se unió a las remontadas históricas en la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf.

Los Zorros fueron un vendaval y con un doblete del estratosférico Julián Quiñones, una conquista a los tumbos de Ozziel Herrera y un gol mágico, iluminado del capitán Aldo Rocha.

They've done it! Haiti's Violette knocks Austin out of Champions League

Damion Lowe scored just before halftime and the Philadelphia Union added three second-half goals to secure a 4-0 victory over El Salvador's Alianza FC on Tuesday in Chester, Pa., and a 4-0 win on aggregate in a CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 match.

Lowe headed home a corner kick from Kai Wagner at the start of first-half stoppage time for the first goal in the two-leg, total-goal series. The teams played a scoreless draw at San Salvador, El Salvador, last week.
