Looking at North Macedonia's obscure warmups heading into its match against Ukraine, there is no surprise it later lost. As fun as it looked, with the players racing up the pitch and passing the ball between each other using upturned cones, it didn't seem like the appropriate warmup for the Euro 2020 Group C match on Thursday.
La Copa América es el torneo de selecciones más antiguo del planeta. Su primera edición fue en 1916 y tuvo a Argentina, Brasil, Chile y el campeón Uruguay como participantes.
Desde entonces, mucha agua ha pasado debajo del puente y este 2021, pese a la resistencia de los jugadores y los brotes de Covid-19 en varios de los planteles, se añade un nuevo capítulo al grueso libro de su historia.
¿Qué equipo tienen más títulos? ¿Quién es el máximo goleador de todos los tiempos? ¿Cuál es la mayor goleada? Todas preguntas que intentamos responder en este post.
Denmark, playing with all the verve and commitment that comes with paying tribute to a fallen talisman, played just about the perfect first half against No. 1-ranked Belgium on Thursday. Then Roberto Martínez pulled out his trump card and it became apparent why Belgium is ranked as the best team in the world.
European soccer's governing body UEFA has responded to Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo's removal of a Coca-Cola bottle at a Euro 2020 news conference by telling teams they have contractual obligations towards tournament sponsors.
Ronaldo moved Coca-Cola bottles aside as he sat down to speak to the media on the eve of Tuesday’s Group F opener against Hungary in Budapest, which Portugal won 3-0.
On Wednesday, Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku announced that his team planned to kick the ball out of play in the 10th minute of the game against Denmark to pay tribute to Christian Eriksen. The Eriksen tenth minute moment on Thursday was as beautiful as you could imagine.
BUCHAREST — Andriy Yarmolenko grabbed a goal and an assist as Ukraine beat North Macedonia 2-1 on Thursday to boost their chances of reaching the European Championship knockout stages and leave their opponents' hopes hanging by a thread.
Yarmolenko put Ukraine ahead from a corner in the 29th minute, popping up at the back post to beat Stole Dimitrievski with a side-footed finish after latching on to Oleksandr Karavaev's flick.
The USWNT brought in 20,500 fans for the grand opening of Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas, and defeated Nigeria 2-0 in the final game of the Summer Series. Christen Press will go down in history as the first player to score a goal in Q2 Stadium history.
In stoppage time of the first half Carli Lloyd found Press with a quick-thinking pass which the American winger curled in for her 61st international goal.
On the mark
Italy favorites to win Euro 2020? I’d argue for Gli Azzurri. Italy picked up its second victory in Group A and secured a spot in the knockout stages after comfortably defeating Switzerland 3-0.
It was an unexpected hero who bagged a brace for Italy as Manuel Locatelli got the double to secure the three points. The Sassuolo midfielder had never scored a brace for club or country before Wednesday.
No fue una buena noche la de ayer para Josué Duverger, arquero de Haití. Su selección perdió 3-0 ante Canadá, en un duelo que definía un cupo para el octagonal final de la Concacaf rumbo a Catar 2022, y una parte importante de la derrota recayó en sus hombros. O más bien, en sus confundidos pies.
Duverger fue fundamental para mantener su arco cerrado en el primer tiempo.
Sin embargo, apenas se reinició el complemento, el golero se vio envuelto en un blooper que hoy se repite en pantallas de todo el mundo.
Juega poco, pero cada vez que lo hace, Gareth Bale demuestra que es un talento excepcional. El "11" de Gales hoy, por ejemplo, fue vital en la victoria por 2-0 de los Dragones sobre Turquía, en el Grupo A de la Euro 2020.
Su performance fue casi perfecta, en gran parte a las dos asistencias que registró. ¿Qué le faltó? No errar de manera tan catastrófica el penal que tuvo en sus pies.
¡¡La falló!! ⚽️
