Two days before the 50-year anniversary of Title IX, the KC Current of the NWSL unveiled one of the most inspiring investments in professional women’s sports in America. The $18 million KC Current training facility opened on Tuesday is the first such complex built specifically for an NWSL team. It’s incredible, and the players couldn’t believe their eyes.
Mexico announced today the list of 38 players facing the upcoming FIFA international break and the beginning of the Concacaf Nations League. On paper, the squad is gigantic but ends up being reasonable, considering El Tri will be playing five games in just 18 days, and one of those matches — vs. Nigeria — will be too close to the end of the European season.
Giovani dos Santos is one of the most talented Mexican players of this century. I mean, nobody can doubt his skills as a baller and his iconic moments playing for El Tri, but at the same time, we all can agree on how exasperating and inconsistent his club resumé has been, which includes Barcelona, Tottenham, Villarreal, LA Galaxy and Ipswich Town, among others.
Proof of this erratic and unpredictable career is the fact most people probably don't know where he is playing right now or if he is playing at all.
The rivalry between México and United States is not only in the field. It's becoming more and more common to see both nations battling to convince young, talented dual-citizen soccer players to commit to their programs. Ricardo Pepi, Julián Araujo and Jonathan Gómez are the most high-profile cases last year, but the list grows and grows down the line. One example is the Cowell brothers, Cade and Chance.
Pudo ser Canadá, pudo ser Inglaterra, pero a fin de cuentas el destino de Tatiana y Silvana Flores parece estar ligado a la Selección Mexicana.
Al igual que su hermano Marcelo, el compromiso de las jugadoras con el Tri es más fuerte que nunca y prueba de ello es que ambas se entrenan con las selecciones juveniles de México, las cuales tendrán bastante acción en los próximos meses.
La misma federación compartió una imagen de ambas jugadoras en modo práctica y que disparó el orgullo de Rubén, el padre del clan Flores. "Mi corazón se derrite aquí", escribió en Twitter.
The tuxedo is out of the closet once again. This time it's to welcome a new edition of Copa Libertadores. Palmeiras (Brazil) has won the last two championships, and the logical question is who will be the team that will challenge its dominance?
The tournament will kick off Tuesday, Feb. 8, with the match between Montevideo City Torque (Uruguay) vs. Barcelona SC (Ecuador) for the first of three qualifying rounds before the group stage.
Carlos Salcedo no pudo tener un mejor día en su primera jornada como jugador del Toronto FC. El Titán recorrió las instalaciones del club, conoció y compartió con sus compañeros, se entrenó y al final del día hasta recibió un boost a su ego, luego de ser comparado con Sergio Ramos.
The USWNT wraps up its annual January Camp in Austin, Texas, on Friday after 10 days of work that's served to allow Vlatko Andonovski a closer look at some fresh faces, including 13 players (half the roster) with 10 caps or fewer.
The U.S. men’s national team has a striker problem. Players like Ricardo Pepi, Jordan Pefok, Gyasi Zardes and Daryl Dike have all attempted to fill the No. 9 vacancy on the team with mixed results. The team has been searching for an answer, but little did they know the solution has been one step away from the field this whole time.
Gregg Berhalter needs a go at striker. Don’t believe me? Check out this video from the USMNT’s Arizona training camp and try telling me that Mr. Nike Shirt couldn’t score a goal for this team.
Santiago Muñoz finalmente dio señales de vida.
El jugador mexicano que busca la gloria en el Newcastle United, tal como el ficticio Santiago Muñez de la película Goal!, salió de las penumbras e hizo una rara aparición en el entrenamiento del primer equipo de Las Urracas.
La presencia del delantero de 19 años quedó en evidencia en una galería de fotos del club, que hoy preparaba su próximo duelo de la Premier League ante el Leeds United.
