The United States women’s national team and England’s national team shared a moment before Friday’s friendly to show support for all the victims of the NWSL’s abuse scandal. An independent investigation from Sally Q. Yates and King & Spalding LLP revealed the top women’s soccer league in the U.S. had a systemic misconduct and abuse problems.
United States women’s national team fans watching Friday’s friendly might be asking, “why is Alex Morgan not playing vs England?”
Morgan is among several big-name players for the U.S. that will miss the massive game between the defending World Cup champions and the Euro 2022 winners.
Después del fracaso que significó la no clasificación al Mundial de Australia y Nueva Zelandia 2023, una nueva era comienza en la selección mexicana femenil. Una que tendrá al técnico español Pedro López a la cabeza y una que se inicia con el retorno de una de las figuras más legendarias del fútbol local, la delantera Charlyn Corral.
United States women’s national team head coach Vlatko Andonovski released the 24-women roster that will travel overseas to play England and Spain in a pair of friendlies. The latest USWNT roster had several interesting inclusions like the return of Crystal Dunn and a potential senior debut for 17-year-old Alyssa Thompson.
On Tuesday night at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey, Lionel Messi was limited to 34 minutes off the bench but again demonstrated why his form has Argentina firmly placed among the favorites in Qatar.
Messi scored twice — giving him nine goals in his last three international appearances — to continue his incredible start to 2022-23 (he has six goals and eight assists in 11 games for PSG).
The first was a 22-yard rip that skipped into the corner beyond a despairing Andre Blake in the 86th minute.
A 53 días del Mundial, el nivel de juego de México es desalentador. La dura derrota 3-2 ante Colombia en el Levi's Stadium fue una prueba más de que el Tri necesita de algún evento sobrenatural para cambiar el tormentoso futuro que aparece en el horizonte.
Más allá de un buen primer tiempo ante los sudamericanos, en el que el Tri logró ponerse arriba 2-0, la verdad es que el equipo dejó claro que no está listo para un duelo de 90 minutos en la más alta competencia. Ni a nivel colectivo ni a nivel inidividual, salvo contadas excepciones.
México jugó su último partido en suelo norteamericano antes del Mundial de Catar y la derrota 3-2 ante Colombia fue un perfecto resumen de la era de Gerardo Martino al mando del Tri: un inicio rampante, con un frondoso juego ofensivo, pero con un cierre espantoso, lleno de dudas y sin ideas.
Sí, el futuro no es alentador.
Gregg Berhalter and his United States men’s national team are on a one-way collision course with a nasty ass kicking in Qatar at the World Cup. On Tuesday the USMNT played its final friendly before the World Cup and pathetically tied lowly Saudi Arabia 0-0.
There are few words that can accurately describe how poor the U.S. has looked in the last two friendly games vs. Japan and Saudi Arabia. With no words to summarize these poor performances let’s just let one stat in particular speak.
Oh boy. After getting played off the pitch against Japan last Friday, our USMNT vs Saudi Arabia player ratings from Tuesday's friendly in Spain aren't much better.
Saudi Arabia entered the match having recently gone goalless against Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, and that lack of a cutting edge was evident against the U.S. — although the Americans did take it in turns to gift opportunities to the Green Falcons.
Lo ideal era una despedida en el Estadio Azteca, en territorio nacional. Sin embargo, la FMF y sus compromisos comerciales determinaron que el último partido de México en suelo norteamericano previo al Mundial de Catar sea en el Levi's Stadium en California, Estados Unidos.
Ahí, el Tri enfrentará a la selección de Colombia – por primera vez en la era Martino – con varios cambios en relación al equipo que derrotó a Perú hace tres noches en el Rose Bowl.
