As he lights up the pitch at Euro 2020, we look at the highlights from the Lukaku Q&A to get to know one of our favorite stars even more.
Let’s go ask your questions
Italy is hoping this is the start of a new golden generation after missing the World Cup three years ago; Austria is hoping its current golden generation can reach the Euro quarterfinals for the first time ever. The Euro 2020 Round of 16 continues with the top team from Group A against the runner-up from Group C. Read on for our Italy vs Austria prediction, preview and viewers guide.
Uruguay venció por 2-0 a Bolivia y aseguró su paso a los cuartos de final de la Copa América 2021. Los charrúas no tuvieron muchos problemas e incluso pudieron marcar un tercero en los descuentos del segundo tiempo.
Sin embargo, Maxi Gómez.
El delantero del Valencia, quizás afectado por el mismo mal que sufre Álvaro Morata en la Euro, desperdició una oportunidad increíble: frontal y con el arco vacío.
Termina el encuentro entre Bolivia y Uruguay
El dato duro que consigna el diario deportivo Olé es que Lionel Messi ha pasado 12 de sus últimos 17 de cumpleaños concentrado con la selección argentina. Ahora que pasó de los 33 a los 34 no fue la excepción: en medio de la Copa América 2021, Leo celebró lejos de la familia, pero con sus compañeros de la Albiceleste.
After 13 straight days of Euro group play, fans can finally take a moment to catch their breath. Over 3,240 minutes of soccer were played in the group stage and now it’s time for the Round of 16. Before moving on, it’s worth looking back at the worst Euro teams from the group stage that left us disappointed.
Footballers have frequently spoken about how the periods of “rest and relaxation” at major international tournaments are merely a euphemism for being bored out of their collective minds. It’s always a fascinating subplot to a month-long period spent holed up in a resort, doubly so during the time of Covid-19 — when leaving the hotel, or inviting someone inside, is bound to cause a national stir (see: Chile).
The European Championship is entering its knockout phase and the following is an overview of the remaining 16 teams:
AUSTRIA
The Colombian Football Federation (FCF) has asked Copa América organizers to suspend the referee from their 2-1 defeat by Brazil, saying he prejudiced the result by not halting play when the ball hit him in the lead up to a goal.
Néstor Pitana, the Argentine who refereed the 2018 World Cup final, waved play on when the ball bounced off him outside Colombia's box and Brazil continued passing for Roberto Firmino to head in an equalizer.
Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne go together in Belgium's attack like peanut butter and jelly coming together to make the most timeless of sandwiches. They've built their impressive careers at separate clubs, but when they come together with Belgium there's little opponents can do to stop them. Having so much success between them, the two obviously had to create a celebratory handshake to go with it.
We interrupt your evening to bring you a goal that you absolutely must watch. Luis Díaz unleashed a wicked bicycle kick goal against Brazil during their Copa América match on Wednesday evening in Brazil.
I’m just going to stop talking because you’ve either already watched the highlight or waiting to watch it, and either way nothing I say will do the goal justice.
¡Goooooool golaaazo de Colombia! ���⚽
