Estados Unidos trae a México de la correa hace bastante tiempo.
Sí, como en el meme.
De cara al próximo amistoso que enfrentará a ambas selecciones el próximo 19 de abril, ya son cuatro partidos en los que el Tri no puede con el USMNT, incluyendo tres derrotas y un empate.
The United States men’s national team announced the 23-man roster for the inaugural Continental Clásico on Wednesday, April 19. The friendly doesn’t take place during an international window meaning the latest USMNT roster is comprised almost entirely of Major League Soccer players.
The 23-man roster only includes one player from a European club, Sergiño Dest. The American right back has essentially been banished from AC Milan’s starting lineup and the club OK’d the decision for him to leave the club to partake in the friendly.
Let’s take a look at the rest of the roster.
Veteran United States women’s national team center back Becky Sauerbrunn was celebrated in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, on Tuesday at CITYPARK ahead of the USWNT’s friendly vs. Ireland for reaching 200 international appearances.
She reached the 200-mark last year during the SheBelieves Cup but was honored for reaching the milestone in front of family and a massive home crowd. Tuesday's friendly was her 216th cap for the USWNT.
I woke up today to a balmy 74ºF in Boston and suddenly felt the first trumpets of the summer. And later, the Premier League and LaLiga announced they would be around this side of the Atlantic during the sunshine season and decided to wear shorts and flip-flops to fit the mood.
A terrifying Mal Swanson injury overshadowed the USWNT’s 2-0 victory vs. Ireland in a friendly match at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas, on Saturday.
Swanson went down injured twice in the first half. The first came when Swanson collided with goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan after Ireland’s Aofie Mannion shoved Swanson in the back. The star American forward was down for several minutes with what appeared to be a neck injury.
By the time the USWNT and Ireland wrap-up their two-match friendly series next Tuesday at CityPark, there'll be less than 100 days before the start of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
So although the U.S. holds a 13-0-0 advantage all-time against the Girls in Green (outscoring them 48 to one in the process), there'll be plenty of internal battles to focus on at Q2 Stadium in Austin on Saturday before the second game in St. Louis three days later.
Club América and León played the wildest Liga MX game in this Clausura 2023 on Saturday. It was a riveting 2-2 draw that ended up with both coaches promising to punch each other in the dressing rooms. But while one of them finished the game with his shirt ripped, no punches were thrown at the end.
La Selección Mexicana Femenil dio a conocer su lista de convocadas para los duelos que sostendrá ante Chicago Red Stars y Houston Dash en abril, ambos parte de su MexTour W por los Estados Unidos.
La nómina de Pedro López tiene 23 nombre, entre los cuales se encuentra una que otra sorpresa. Destaca, por ejemplo, el debut de Jazmín Casarez (FC Juárez), así como el regreso de María Sánchez y Diana Ordóñez, quienes estuvieron ausentes en la última convocatoria.
Curiosamente, ambas son jugadoras del Dash, uno de los rivales de la gira.
Argentina continued their never-ending happiness tour after winning Copa América, Finalissima and World Cup, thrashing Curaçao 7-0 in a friendly game where Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick and surpassed the 100-goal mark playing for La Albiceleste.
Argentina palooza continued Tuesday night as the world champions put on an exhibition against CONCACAF minnows Curaçao at the Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero. Captain Lionel Messi had a hat trick in the first 37 minutes, bringing his international tally to 102, as La Albiceleste put seven past the Columbus Crew's Eloy Room.
It was an honor and a privilege.
