I’m a big fan of superb athletes doing incredible, unexpected things on the field. I particularly love to watch pros pulling off incredible feats without even looking, whether it’s Roberto Firmino’s devilish no-look goals or the NFL’s Patrick Mahomes completing no-look passes.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino said on Wednesday that increased revenues from a biennial World Cup would create opportunities for Africans who otherwise could migrate and find "death in the sea" crossing the Mediterranean.
There’s been a lot of talk — A LOT — about how the USMNT is going to play three World Cup qualifiers in frigid temperatures this international break. Almost every post the @USMNT Twitter account has made this week has highlighted the fact it gets kinda cold in the northern parts of the U.S. in the winter.

Con Raúl Jiménez y Tecatito Corona medios abollados y en duda, muchas de las esperanzas de los aficionados de México, en su duelo ante Jamaica por las eliminatorias 2022, estaban siendo depositadas sobre los hombros de Hirving Lozano. Sin embargo, aunque el jugador está fresco como una lechuga, es un hecho que tiene cero chances de vestirse de corto ante los Reggae Boyz.
No hay doble lectura. La temporada 2021-22 de Diego Lainez en el Betis ha sido espantosa. Tanto que la idea de un cambio de aires da más vueltas que nunca.
A la hora de los rumores, la lista de posibles pretendientes para el extremo mexicano ha sido bastante larga durante el mercado de invierno, pero en los últimos días un equipo de primera división de Madrid parece haber tomado la delantera: no es el Real ni el Atlético, sino que el Rayo Vallecano.
It is, we're learning, a question that can be framed in countless ways — "Will it be an advantage? But will it really be an advantage? How will you prepare? How will you mentally prepare? Will you put hot chicken broth in your water bottle so it doesn't freeze?" — but really only ever has one definitive plan of action: Deal with it.
YAOUNDE — At least six fans died in a stampede at the Yaounde Olembe Stadium in Cameroon on Monday before the host nation's round of 16 game in the African Cup of Nations against Comoros, the Central African nation's national broadcaster reported.
It said dozens of others were injured.
Images shared on social media, which Reuters could not immediately authenticate, showed screaming fans being crushed at an entrance gate.
ROME — Mario Balotelli was named in the Italy squad for the first time since 2018 on Monday, as the Adana Demirspor striker joined seven uncapped players in Roberto Mancini's 35-man training camp selection.
Balotelli, who worked under Azzurri coach Mancini earlier in his career at Inter Milan and Manchester City, has not featured for the national team since September 2018.
But the 31-year-old earned a recall for this week's three-day training camp after scoring eight goals in 18 league games to fire Adana Demirspor to fourth place in the Turkish Super Lig.
Jesús Corona usó los taquetes con magia en su debut como titular en el Sevilla. Tecatito hizo túneles, mareó a un par de rivales con sus desbordes y hasta se anotó con una asistencia en el aguerrido 2-2 ante el Celta de Vigo.
El mexicano llegó al club andaluz hace 10 días y ya había jugado un par de partidos -ante Betis y Valencia- aunque saliendo desde el banco de suplentes. Frente a los gallegos, sin embargo, Julen Lopetegui le dio la confianza para ir desde el inicio.
Y Jesús no decepcionó.
Ghana and the United States men’s national team have a rich history of meeting at the World Cup. The African nation knocked out the USMNT of the world’s biggest tournament in 2010 and 2006 and the Americans got revenge in 2014. Both teams failed to make the 2018 edition and now the question of will Ghana make the World Cup looms after the latest World Cup qualifying draw.
