France’s new World Cup commercial has a must-watch plot twist

MANCHESTER — Soccer fans are buzzing about a Women's World Cup ad featuring French stars Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann - or so it seems at first.

Sophia Smith haunts her opponents in horror-themed Nike World Cup commercial

Nike went all out on their latest commercial featuring United States women’s national team star Sophia Smith.

¿Con o sin Edson? El XI que trabaja Jimmy Lozano para el duelo ante Jamaica

La presencia de Edson Álvarez es la principal duda que tiene Jaime Lozano a la hora de armar el equipo que alineará la Selección Mexicana ante Jamaica en las semifinales de la Copa Oro 2023.
