A cinco meses del Mundial de Catar 2022, lo mejor que puede hacer la selección mexicana en estos momentos es dar por terminado el proceso de Gerardo Martino. Suena duro, pero si los sueños del Tri son avanzar en la fase de grupos y tener una chance de llegar al cada vez más utópico quinto partido, no queda otra.
Mexico suffered its worst loss in nearly three years on Thursday when Edinson Cavani and Uruguay battered El Tri in a friendly game 3-0 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Cavani was involved in all three of Uruguay’s goals against a rough looking Mexico side.
Con gente abandonando el estadio 15 minutos antes del pitazo final y con los aficionados que se quedaron gritando "Fuera Tata", México sufrió una durísima goleada a manos de Uruguay.
El marcador acabó 3-0 en favor de La Celeste, pero desde un punto de vista moral pareció una derrota mucho más holgada y demoledora. El Tri defendió mal, no generó mucho fútbol en el centro del campo y cuando se aventuró en el área rival falló de manera grotesca, al punto que la pregunta "¿a qué juega México?" se hace cada vez más frecuente.
César Montes recibió un tremendo voto de confianza camino a Catar 2022, luego de que Gerardo Martino lo nombrara capitán de la selección mexicana en el duelo amistoso ante Uruguay, en Phoenix, Estados Unidos.
La decisión es especial para el Cachorro, porque es primera vez en su carrera que recibe tal honor.
BELGRADE - Striker Erling Haaland's superb first-half volley gave Norway a surprising 1-0 win away to Serbia as they got their Nations League Group B4 campaign underway on Thursday, but they needed goalkeeping heroics from Ørjan Nyland to secure the win.
The visitors took the lead in the 26th minute as Martin Ødegaard sliced open the defense with a beautiful pass to Marcus Pedersen who crossed for Haaland to deftly volley home from close range with the only shot on target in the first half.
Inefficient ball control, a sloppy defense and a massive miss from Santi Muñoz. Those were the capital sins Mexico was made to pay for during a painful 2-1 defeat against Venezuela in the Maurice Revello tournament.
Nobody can't hide the facts. Seeing how this Mexican U-21 ensemble wasted its ball possession without damaging the opponent, almost mirroring the deficiencies you can see in the adult squad, was very frustrating.
The animosity between Argentina and Brazil is reaching a fever pitch at the perfect moment: right before the 2022 World Cup. Their only possible clash course in Qatar would see the bitter rivals meet in the semifinals, but that world-stopping event is plausible because La Albiceleste and the Seleção are as good as they've been in a long time.
The two have split the past two Copa Américas, playing out a bad-blooded semifinal in 2019 that Brazil won en route to the title while Argentina had its vengeance in the 2021 final at the Maracanã.
Before last night, casual U.S. soccer fans may not have had any idea who Haji Wright is. After last night's impressive 3-0 win against Morocco, that changed. Wright came on as a halftime substitute and immediately impressed, with a series of clever flick-on passes in build-up play and surging runs into the box that showcased his attacking threat. It was his 64th-minute penalty conversion, however, that Wright and USMNT fans alike will never forget.
After helping the USMNT beat Morocco 3-0 in a friendly on Wednesday night, Pulisic was asked how he felt being back in America. He responded by calling out the small crowd size at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati.
Atlas es hoy el bicampeón de la Liga MX. Sin embargo, en los ojos del entrenador de la selección mexicana, Gerardo Martino, el equipo pareciera no existir. Es realmente un misterio: no importa qué bien jueguen sus futbolistas, el Tata simplemente no les da oportunidad alguna en el Tri. Ni para los amistosos moleros.
