Friendly

Luis Díaz hits the griddy and sets a new low for zombie-like Germany

Germany suffered a 2-0 home loss to Colombia in a friendly on Tuesday in their latest setback less than a year before they host Euro 2024.

Luis Diaz's 54th-minute header and Juan Cuadrado's penalty in the 82nd gave the visitors their first victory over the Germans, who were booed at the end.

The Germans, who have less than a year to build a battle-hardened team for the continental tournament, had needed two late goals to draw 3-3 with Ukraine last week before Friday's 1-0 loss to Poland.

Ruleta de Zidane y túnel: Néstor Araujo puso el fútbol champagne en el México vs. Guatemala

Con goles de Raúl Jiménez y Roberto de la Rosa, la Selección Mexicana venció a Guatemala en un amistoso jugado en el Estadio El Kraken de Mazatlán. 

El partido, la verdad, es que no tuvo nada del otro mundo. Guatemala, dirigida por el Flaco Tena, fue un equipo ordenadito y que hizo pasar un par de sustos al Tri, pero sin TNT suficiente como para amagar a un México que hizo lo que tenía que hacer sin mayores aspavientos. 

Bueno, excepto por la dosis de fútbol champagne que nos regaló el central Néstor Araujo.
