MANCHESTER, England - Former Manchester United captains Gary Neville and Roy Keane accused Ralf Rangnick's team of giving up in Sunday's 4-1 derby defeat at Manchester City.
United had competed well in the first half, going in 2-1 down at the break, but they looked demoralized after Riyad Mahrez scored City's third and that attitude riled the two ex-skippers.
Ahhh, the soothing sounds of soccer ASMR.
An empty field.
Just you and the ball. And some birds.
Put on some headphones and turn up that volume to hear the satisfying sounds of putting on boots, juggling, shooting, crossbar pings and more.
At this point, you get the feeling it'll be a cold day in hell when Mexico takes to the pitch without Memo Ochoa in goal, whose appearances in the latest window of qualifying brought him to a grand total of 125 caps for El Tri — just five behind legendary keeper Jorge Campos.
When anyone starts talking about that infamous Kepa Arrizabalaga Carabao Cup final moment, the reply is now going to have to be "which one?"
In 2019, Kepa gave us the unforgettable scene of refusing to be substituted for penalty specialist Willy Caballero near the end of extra time. The Spaniard saved one but Chelsea ultimately still lost to Manchester City.
Chivas vivió una ingrata noche en Guanajuato. La derrota 2-1 ante León se sintió un poco injusta al interior del plantel, mientras que su delantero José Juan Macías fue blanco de un masivo abucheo de parte de la afición local.
JJ reemplazó a Ángel Zaldívar en el minuto 65, haciendo su primera aparición en la Liga MX desde su fallido paso por el Getafe de España, e inmmediatamente desde la tribuna cayó una ruidosa silbatina.
El arbitraje mexicano cavó un nuevo nivel bajo tierra. Sí, todas las semanas hay decisiones que dejan a los aficionados preguntándose si están en un programa de bromas con cámaras ocultas, pero lo que ocurrió anoche en la Liga Expansión desafía toda lógica posible: un choque entre dos jugadores de un mismo equipo acabó siendo sancionado como penal por el silbante Edgar Allan Morales.
Barcelona defender Ronald Araújo apologized for his "unfortunate gesture" in Sunday's 2-2 LaLiga draw away at city rivals Espanyol, saying the "tension" of the match led to the incident.
Araújo appeared to be taking aim at Espanyol midfielder Nico Melamed while he was leaving the field towards the end of the match, which saw both teams have a player sent off.
A bad-blooded Liga MX clash between Pumas and León on Sunday ended with both sides having 10 men on the pitch, but Pumas could've gone down to nine in the final minutes if not for an incredible piece of sportsmanship from León's Luis "Chapo" Montes.
The two sides entered matchweek five separated by just a point, and the first half at Estadio Olímpico Universitario in Mexico City was finely poised with Santiago Colombatto giving León the lead in the 20th minute with a left-footed strike from 17 yards out before Rogério brought Pumas level just four minutes later.
Argentinian club Newell's Old Boys have always dreamed of seeing Messi wearing its No. 10 jersey. And that dream is kind of a reality these days.
The only thing is this Messi is not the global superstar Lionel but a young fellow named Joaquín. And that's the catch.
Joaquín Messi is part of the Newell's Old Boys team currently playing Copa Libertadores U-20, and his last name has promptly caught the attention of all those involved in the competition. And one of the first questions he is asked is if they are related.
¡Brrrr! Hace frío en la frontera. Una masa de aire polar afecta el sur de Estados Unidos y el norte de México, en especial el estado de Chihuahua, con temperaturas de seis grados Celsius bajo cero y una sensación térmica de -11.
La inclemencia climática se ha sentido con particular intensidad en Ciudad Juárez, donde incluso cayó nieve durante la última noche. La situación obligó a cerrar caminos y puentes, así como la suspensión de clases y otras actividades académicas.
