La Madre De Adrien Rabiot Arma Una Guerra Con Las Familias De Pogba Y Mbappé

Cuando Francia gana, la vida es color de rosa. Pero basta un pequeño tropiezo para tener que ir a buscar un balde de palomitas y ver el drama que se desencadena.

Pasó con el boicot de los jugadores a Raymond Domenech, en pleno Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010; con el supuesto chantaje sexual que involucró a Mathieu Valbuena y Karim Benzema, que dejó a este último seis años fuera de Les Bleus; y ahora con la masiva pelea entre la madre de Adrien Rabiot y las familias de Paul Pogba y Kylian Mbappé, tras la sorpresiva eliminación de Francia en la Euro 2020.

Meet Ben, The Englishman Who Doesn’t Speak Spanish Playing For Chile In Copa América

When you look at the Chile national team, one player might appear out of place. Ben Brereton is not your usual Chilean; he doesn’t even speak Spanish, the primary language spoken by the rest of the team. The English-Chilean forward had played with England's U19 and U20 national teams for almost five years before switching to Chile's squad this year for the Copa América.

The Best (And Worst) Fans From Euro 2020, So Far

While the Euros roll on through the knockout rounds, we have plenty of wild fan interactions already. From fans showing up to support their team in the wrong country to pitch invaders wielding rainbow flags, anything goes as fans are enjoying their time back. Football fans were kept from stadiums and fully supporting their teams for over a year by the Covid-19 pandemic, diminished to yelling at screens instead of faces, so we wouldn't expect anything less extravagant than what has been happening. Let's take a look at the best Euro 2020 fans so far. 

Everton’s New Coach Is A Liverpool Legend; Not Everyone Is Happy About It

There will be plenty of people with mixed feelings on Merseyside on Wednesday. The initial rumors that ex-Liverpool manager Rafa Benítez was being considered for the Everton job were met with shock and disbelief, and now it's a done deal: Benítez returns to Merseyside to take charge of the Blues on a three-year contract. 

Home Sweet Home: Despite UEFA's Scheduling Procedures, England Still Managed To Benefit

When I first heard UEFA's plans to not have just one host city for Euro 2020, I was intrigued and pleasantly surprised.

The idea makes sense. Spread fans out across eleven host cities, which prevents hundreds of thousands of supporters descending on one particular country or city. It mitigates the COVID-19 risks (not something that was on the minds of organizers in 2020, but is beneficial in 2021) and helps the many host countries and cities financially without giving too much home field advantage to one country — at least in theory.
