It’s been a rough start for new boss Manuel Pellegrini and West Ham in the Premier League, where the club has opened the new campaign with three consecutive defeats, but the Hammers took a positive step forward by beating League One side AFC Wimbledon in the second round of the EFL Cup Tuesday.
Maybe we need to make this a weekly thing now. Hirving Lozano scored, again.
Mexico’s 23-year-old winger made it two goals in two Eredivisie matches, scoring the opener for PSV Eindhoven against Fortuna Sittard on Saturday.
Hirving Lozano scored in PSV’s season opener last week against Utrecht, smashing home first time as the reigning Eredivisie champion began its title defense with a 4-0 victory.
How fast is Jürgen Damm? Since joining Tigres from Pachuca in 2015, the flying winger has used his blistering pace to help the club to its most successful era ever. His presence on the right wing has been instrumental in back-to-back-to-back Apertura championships, and although the 25-year-old has always struggled for consistency in the final third, his pace makes him a force to be reckoned with.
A weekend of petulance, playacting and red cards in Liga MX sent Tigres manager Tuca Ferretti over the edge, a reaction that was largely triggered after Guido Pizarro was given a straight red card in the 23rd minute for a fairly innocuous piece of contact with Toluca’s Luis Mendoza.
Hirving Chucky Lozano ain’t slowing down anytime soon.
After a torrid World Cup with Mexico, the 23-year-old winger scored yet again in PSV Eindhoven’s first league match of the season.
Chucky was a second-half sub in the 2018 Johan Cruyff Shield match on Aug. 4 against Feyenoord, which ended in a 6-5 loss on penalty kicks for PSV. The Mexico City native started and played the full 90 against FC Utrecht in the opener of the Dutch Eredivisie on Saturday.
After balling out at the World Cup — that performance against Germany still gives me shivers — and reportedly garnering interest from the likes of Inter, Real Betis and Fulham, Mexico international Hector Herrera spent the offseason outlining his love for FC Porto and executing his plan of becoming a more gorgeous man.
No club divides opinion in Mexico quite like Club America, but yesterday, the entire country had to be excited about the performance of 18-year-old phenom Diego Lainez.
Since making his club debut as a 16-year-old, Lainez has been touted as one of Mexico’s top prospects. However, the native of Villahermosa had yet to make much of an impact in his brief Liga MX career with America manager Miguel Herrera deploying the winger cautiously.
Ever wonder what is the best soccer movie? Search no more. We also have. Mexican film Rudo y Cursi is hands down the most entertaining soccer movie you’ll find.
The movie was released in the U.S. in May 2009. Over 10 years after it came out in Mexico, Rudo y Cursi is still a classic audience-pleaser that will surely not disappoint.
The Mexico Women's National Team won the gold medal at the Central American and Caribbean Games on Monday night in Barranquilla, Colombia.
With staggering goals and extraordinary performances, Mexico bounced back from an early deficit in the final vs. Costa Rica.
El Tri Femenil secured the highest prize with a final score of 3-1. Mexico trailed 1-0 after María Alvarado scored via a penalty kick for Costa Rica in the 13th minute.
On June 9, the USMNT drew with France 1-1. On June 13, the United States was awarded the 2026 World Cup. On July 30, LA Galaxy phenom and California native Efrain Alvarez admitted that he’d still be open to representing the U.S. over Mexico. Ladies and gentleman, in the aftermath of missing the world’s greatest event because of a defeat to Trinidad & Tobago, I’m not at all opposed to calling this a new golden era in U.S. soccer.
