Mexico and Newcastle real-life striker Santiago Muñoz has never been as close to emulating Mexico and Newcastle Goal! movie-character striker Santiago Muñez as he was this Sunday after becoming the hero in a 2-0 victory over Colombia. It's a win that allowed El Tri to finish third at the U-21 Maurice Revello Tournament.
The USWNT is already approaching the CONCACAF W Championship without rising star Catarina Macario (knee) and the explosive Lynn Williams (hip), but another big name might be added to the list of injury casualties at forward after Christen Press was forced off in the 66th-minute of Angel City's 3-2 win over Racing Louisville in NWSL action Saturday.
The 33-year-old was at her best during her time on the pitch, including an impressive run and finish in the 36th-minute for her second goal of the season.
Despite turning 36 at the end of July, Brazilian legend Hulk still packs as much power as ever, particularly in his concussive left foot.
Although the nation of Brazil is free of weapons of mass destruction, it still possesses the key technologies needed to produce nuclear weapons — the science is all stored in Hulk's left.
Sin hacer un partido brillante, México venció 3-0 a Surinam en el inicio de la Concacaf Champions League.
Con varios de los referentes del Tri de vacaciones, el gran atractivo del duelo era ver en cancha a los jugadores que tratan de ganarse un boleto en el avión al Mundial de Catar 2022. Y en ese contexto hubo varios que subieron sus bonos en la lista que prepara Gerardo Martino, pero tantos otros que hicieron mérito para quedarse fuera del viaje.
It’s always a fun time to watch SportsCenter have to discover new sports in the summer. With the NBA plus NHL finishing up and NFL in the offseason the SportsCenter Top 10 segment is forced to look elsewhere for its best plays. Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC of USL1 — the third tier of U.S. Soccer. — has managed to crack No. 2 on the list.
The Hailstorm was hosting North Carolina FC on Wednesday and trailing 1-0 in the first. In the 37th minute Irvin Parra got the Hailstorm back on level terms with a sensational goal that was set up by an even better first touch.
Good news guys, the USMNT is capable of beating Grenada. It’s hard to take too much away from the U.S. defeating Grenada 5-0 in the Concacaf Nations League on Friday, but we have a couple players to highlight for the USMNT.
Head coach Gregg Berhalter put out the B-team for the USMNT, reasonably so, and fans got to see some fringe players try to prove their worth. Christian Pulisic and Tyler Adams didn’t even dress for the team Friday night to give you an idea of how important this game was.

Kylian Mbappé struck a late equalizer to help holders France salvage a 1-1 away draw against Austria as they kept alive their slim hopes of reaching the final four of the Nations League on Friday.

The world champions are bottom of Group 1 with two points from three games, four behind leaders Denmark, who slumped to a 1-0 home defeat against Croatia.
Canada’s World Cup odds aren’t amazing. Being in a group with No. 2 in the world Belgium, 2018 World Cup runner-up Croatia and Morocco is less than ideal. Despite being underdogs, Canada’s dominant 4-0 victory against Curacao on Thursday with Alphonso Davies pulling the strings was a good sign that Canada could cause trouble in Group F.
Un lindo gol de Efraín Álvarez ayudó a amortiguar la contundente e inapelable derrota de México ante Francia, en las semifinales del Torneo Maurice Revello, ex Esperanzas de Toulon.
El dominio galo a lo largo del partido, tanto en el aspecto físico como en lo técnico, fue realmente incontestable y describir el duelo como un baile no es para nada una exageración. De hecho, el 4-1 se siente como si Francia le hubiera hecho precio al Tri.
Igual, pese a la superioridad francesa, México no se quedó con las manos vacías.
As the great Maximus Decimus Meridius once said, never know when you're conquered. Even when all about you is burning and crumbling to ruin, remain calm and listen to that little voice inside that says, "Hold on! You might still go viral!"
