The 2023 Leagues Cup is heating up. 48 days after announcing the groups and the format in which MLS and Liga MX clubs will face each other in some sort of summer World Cup-style extravaganza, the tournament revealed its entire match schedule and bracket.
And oh, boy! Be prepared for an overdose of games.
Viene un verano ☀️ de mucho fútbol ⚽️
This summer, Minnesota is bringing together six different clubs from four different leagues to determine which shines brightest in the North Star State. Although in its inaugural infancy, this is a great concept that'll only get better with time — other states should follow suit.
There are and have been different variations of Minnesota's Super Cup, but this competition promises head-to-head action with a tournament structure similar to the World Cup.
Después de un par de pasos en falso, Jorge Sánchez estaba medio olvidado en el Ajax. Sin embargo, el técnico John Heitinga decidió darle una nueva oportunidad y el mexicano no la desperdició.
El ex América comenzó como titular en el duelo de cuartos de final de la Copa KNVB ante el De Graafschap y apenas 12 minutos después convirtió el gol que guió el camino del multicampeón neerlandés a las semifinales de la competencia.
Cada vez que Santiago Giménez marca un gol para el Feyenoord, un doble sentimiento corre por las venas. Por un lado, todo es alegría. Bebote se ha convertido en un favorito de los aficionados mexicanos y su éxito es medicina para la alicaída alma de la nación futbolera. Pero al mismo tiempo, un chorro de rabia inunda la sangre: ¿Por qué Gerardo Martino no lo llevó al Mundial? ¡¿POR QUÉ?! ¡AAAAARGH!
Este miércoles ante el Heerenveen, por la Copa KNVB, la sensación volvió a repetirse.
Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr were knocked of the Saudi Super Cup on Thursday after a 3-1 semifinal loss to Al Ittihad in Riyadh.
The 37-year-old Portugal international, five-times Ballon d'Or winner, had a couple of chances to score but was well shackled by the Al Ittihad defense for most of the match.
Anderson Talisca's goal for Al Nassr in the 67th minute was not enough to turn around the deficit from two first-half goals for Al Ittihad from Romarinho and Abderrazak Hamdallah. Muhannad Al-Shanqeeti added the third three minutes into stoppage time.
The Leagues Cup this summer featuring Liga MX and MLS teams will be a historic tournament and crossover between the two leagues. For the first time every team from both leagues will compete in the same tournament at the same time.
Usually, the only time an MLS and Liga MX team faced off was in the Concacaf Champions League for just a select few. Now every team is involved and guaranteed to play at least one opponent from the rival league.
Wondering who your favorite team will play? Let’s look at the Leagues Cup draw that happened on Friday.
It's increasingly common to see soccer players with a female lip print tattoo on their neck. Yeah, it isn't good. But now there's something even worse than that: Here's the new kissy-kissy Napoli jersey for Valentine's Day.
Geeze, what an awful piece of fabric.
Indonesia routed Brunei 7-0 at the 2022 AFF Championship, a traditional tournament among South Asian nations. After the game, players from Tim Garuda celebrated the victory, except for crestfallen defender Hansamu Yama, who experienced an embarrassing moment during the game.
Yama could have added another goal for Indonesia on the scoreboard but ended up submitting a strong entry for the howler of the year award, missing a shot so close to the goal line that it's almost impossible to understand how he was able to miss the chance.
Former Chelsea and Arsenal player David Luiz experienced a night of contrasting emotions last Wednesday. The defender led Flamengo over Corinthians to claim the fourth Brazilian Cup in the club's history but, seconds later, had to deal with disturbing news about his family, who had suffered a car accident just before the game.
Corinthians and Flamengo delivered a forgettable 0-0 draw in the first leg of the Brazilian Cup final Wednesday. However, there was some action worth mentioning in the stands thanks to the Timão's fans, who deployed a fantastic hawk-inspired 3D tifo before kick-off.
The Gaviões da Fiel — the biggest group of supporters of Corinthians — were behind the imposing design. The whole process took 14 days, and 100 fans worked together to raise it over the east stands of the Neo Química Arena.
