Thursday night’s wild game between the United States men’s national team and Mexico ended prematurely due to Mexican fans repeated homophobic chanting. The 3-0 win for U.S. was a bit overshadowed by the actions off the field, however one fan has won the hearts of the internet.
It’s official USMNT fans. Gregg Berhalter has been announced as the head coach of the national team, first reported by The Athletic.
La Selección Mexicana volvió a entregar una actuación paupérrima ante Estados Unidos.
Lo visto en Las Vegas por las semifinales de la Nations League fue tristísimo y pone el proceso de Diego Cocca en la unidad de cuidados intensivos.
En el entorno del Tri, la idea era tansformar la selección de cara al Mundial 2026 después del fracaso en Catar 2022. Pero apenas cinco meses después, todo está en ruinas.
Y nada parece describir la crisis que vive El Tri que seguir dependiendo de jugadores como Uriel Antuna.
The United States men’s national team dominated Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League semifinal with a 3-0 victory. What should have been a moment to celebrate was disgraced by fights between players and repeated homophobic chants from Mexican fans.
Before we get into the disgusting ending of the game, let’s take a quick look at the highlights.
Un desastre, una vergüenza, una profunda pena.
México fue goleado por Estados Unidos en las semifinales de la Liga de Naciones, en una de las peores performances del Tri desde el fatídico 7-0 ante Chile en la Copa América Centenario 2016.
Cierto, el marcador no fue tan expresivo (3-0), pero la falta de ideas del técnico Diego Cocca, el pobrísimo rendimiento de sus jugadores y su incapacidad para procesar la derrota de manera digna, dejaron la sensación de que es necesario resetear todo.
Todo.
Things are getting awfully serious now: the kits are revealed, the roster is close to locked and Sports Illustrated has dropped its Women's World Cup preview issue with Alex Morgan, Rose Lavelle, Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman gracing the cover.
For the second time in a row the United States men’s national team will be playing in the Concacaf Nations League final four and the Gold Cup during the same summer. Similar to 2021, the USMNT will send the A-team to the Nations League and the B-team to the Gold Cup.
Just look at the difference in the rosters.
LET'S GO TO CAMP ⛺️
68,000 packed Workers' Stadium in Beijing on Thursday to get a glimpse of Lionel Messi and world champions Argentina during a friendly match against Australia. The Inter Miami attacker delivered with a stunning 20-yard strike just 79 seconds into the game, but one fan wasn't content to simply gawk in awe at Messi's magisterial ability — he had to make contact with the extraterrestrial.
Lionel Messi played his first match since announcing a jaw-dropping move to Major League Soccer's Inter Miami on Thursday. The 35-year-old captained Argentina in a friendly against Australia that was staged at Workers' Stadium in Beijing, China.
His misery in Paris is clearly behind him because it took Messi only one minute and 20 seconds to open the scoring.
México alista los últimos detalles para enfrentar a Estados Unidos en las semifinales de la Liga de Naciones de la Concacaf este jueves (10 p.m. ET), en un partido etiquetado como la primera gran prueba de Diego Cocca al mando del Tri.
Si bien el argentino asumió labores apenas a principios de años, los susurros en las catacumbas de la FMF apuntan a que este duelo y el rendimiento de la Selección Mexicana en la próxima Copa Oro serán cruciales para definir el futuro del proceso. De no ser positivo, dicen, no habrá duda en soltar el cordelito que sostiene la guillotina.
