Mexico's Hector Moreno Joins Al-Gharafa In Qatar

El Tri star Hector Moreno has made a switch from Real Sociedad to Al-Gharafa in Qatar. The Mexican defender has called an end to his European adventure at the age of 31. 

Moreno is arguably one of Mexico’s most consistent players over the years and has been an ever-present figure with El Tri. 

Recently proving his ability at the top by playing in Mexico’s successful 2019 Gold Cup run, he almost missed it due to injury but he ended up being able to play and helped lead the team to top the United States in the final. 

Little Feral Kitten ENDS André-Pierre Gignac’s Career

When whoever’s in charge of the worst competition ever created sits down to look at their social media numbers, they’ll see that the most liked/shared/commented/engaged with post of the 2019 Leagues Cup was a cat. Hopefully they’ll then decide to make the 2020 edition strictly cats. 

You see, it’s a helluva fine boi.

Time For MLS To Get Beatdown By Liga MX In The Most Meaningless Competition Ever Created

As someone whose job is soccer all day, everyday, I like to think that I have a pretty good grip on what’s going on, why it’s going on and when it’s going on. In what I feel is a pretty damning indictment of the newfangled Leagues Cup competition, I haven't a goddamn clue on any of those fronts.

Let’s figure out what in the hell this thing is together.

Who Plays In The Leagues Cup?

Ajax Welcomes Edson Álvarez With Video That Includes Hilarious Arjen Robben Dig

After selling 19-year-old field general Matthijs de Ligt to Juventus for nearly $85 million, Ajax immediately found a promising replacement in 21-year-old Mexican defender Edson Álvarez. The Dutch club paid América $17 million for his services, and it’s easy to imagine the versatile player excelling in the Eredivisie, much like Héctor Moreno dominated at PSV.

Maradona's Former Side Loses Youth Player In Stabbing Death

Los Dorados de Sinaloa have lost one of their promising youth players this week. 

Mirsha Francisco Herrera Gastélum, 20, was killed in a stabbing attack in Culiacan, Mexico, on Tuesday. 

He was on his way home after training when he was attacked in an attempted robbery. 

Even After His Team Was Smashed By Zlatan, Carlos Vela Insists He’s The Better Player

I understand professional sports are full of trash talk and bravado; the unnecessary and macho behavior is everywhere. But there is a time and place for such brashness, and following a heavy defeat is certainly not one of them. That said, the Zlatan vs Vela rivalry is becoming one of the best reasons to watch MLS this season.

Edson Alvarez Becomes Latest El Tri Star To Move To Netherlands

Edson Alvarez is indeed heading to Ajax.

The Mexico International has just made his long-talked-about transfer to the Dutch league. 

Luis “Chapo” Montes: A Story Of Redemption

Luis “Chapo” Montes has had a wild ride with the Mexico national team. If you’re a fan of Club León or Liga MX, you’ll know who the diminutive 5-5 midfielder is. 

Montes has been a staple of Mexico’s top professional league since he made his debut in 2006 with Indios. He’s gone on to play for only three teams in his whole career and all in Mexico (he later made his breakthrough with Pachuca before transferring to León).

Héctor Herrera Included In MLS All-Star Skills Challenge After Atlético Transfer

For Mexican midfielder Héctor Herrera, finalizing a transfer this summer was at the forefront of his mind. That announcement was finally reported during the Gold Cup, and it was a big reason why Herrera ignored Tata Martino’s call-up and didn’t make the trip to the United States for the tournament.  

Zlatan Doesn’t Hold Back In Criticizing Carlos Vela Ahead Of El Tráfico

Tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m. CT on ESPN, the LA Galaxy hosts Los Angeles FC in the fourth edition of El Tráfico. The early days of the Los Angeles Derby have been largely dominated by two players: LAFC’s Carlos Vela is the rivalry's top scorer with four to his name, but the Galaxy’s Zlatan Ibrahimović is right behind him with three, including that unforgettable brace on his MLS debut.
