Argentina, uno de los favoritos para ganar la Copa del Mundo y rival de México en la fase de grupos, dio a conocer hoy la lista de 26 jugadores que tendrá disponible en Catar.
Por supuesto, Lionel Messi es quien lidera la convocatoria.
La nómina la dio a conocer el técnico Lionel Scaloni a través de un video diseñado especialmente para irse a dormir una siesta.
Every four years, an elite sect of footballers emerge from their cryotherapy chambers without having aged a day since the game's last showpiece event. They have heard the call of their nation and awoken from their slumber, ready to once again take their rightful place on our television sets and to lay waste to group stage opponents with a fraction of their veteran experience.
We've spent more time with these guys over the last 15 years than many of our relatives, and we'll finally now get to spend Thanksgiving with them too.
Polonia, el primer rival de México en el Mundial de Catar 2022, definió hoy la lista de jugadores que llevará al torneo.
Sin muchas sorpresas, la convocatoria entregada por el seleccionador Czeslaw Michniewicz está encabezada por el goleador Robert Lewandowski y el portero de la Juventus, Wojciech Szczesny.
Dentro de la lista de la escuadra europea también se encuentra el mediocampista Piotr Zieliński, socio de Hirving Lozano en la sorprendente campaña del Napoli en la Serie A
Barcelona and Spain's national team popularized tiki-taka in soccer. But their hypnotic passing style — when a squad tries to control the ball and dominate its opponent — is not alone . In Costa Rica there exists the tico-taka, which was on full display during a 2-0 win over Nigeria on Wednesday night.
It's true we're used to seeing Costa Rica with a more rough and raw style of play, but from time to time they show they can produce beautiful and poetic moments of fútbol. And that's when this tico-taka appears.
Belgium coach Roberto Martínez has included injured striker Romelu Lukaku and playmaker Eden Hazard in his 26-man squad for the World Cup in Qatar, saying he will give the former "every second" to regain his fitness for the tournament.
Lukaku has been suffering with a hamstring injury which, coupled with a thigh problem earlier this season, means he has played just twice since August and is currently sidelined for his club Inter Milan.
Gregg Berhalter’s official 26-man United States men’s national team roster for the World Cup was revealed and wow was it full of surprises. Some big USMNT World Cup roster snubs came with the shock inclusions.
Here is the USMNT World Cup roster.
Player name (Club Team, Caps)
Goalkeepers (3):
Defenders (9):
Rogelio Funes Mori no ha tenido un buen semestre. Entre lesiones y pocos goles, el Mellizo se ha convertido en el punching ball de la afición mexicana que no entiende cómo él tiene un ticket asegurado en el Mundial y no así Santiago Giménez, actual goleador de la Europa League.
La posible cepillada a Santiago Giménez de la lista final de México para el Mundial de Catar 2022 tiene a la afición del Tri dándose cabezazos con la pared.
La gente realmente no entiende cómo Bebote, el delantero mexicano del momento, puede quedarse sin un boleto para el evento y menos comprende los débiles argumentos que tendría el técnico Gerardo Martino para marginarlo.
England right back Reece James confirmed on Wednesday he will not be a part of the England team at the World Cup in Qatar due to a knee injury, further depleting manager Gareth Southgate's options in defense.
Chelsea's James had stolen ahead of a packed field to make his spot on the right of England's back five his own, but a knee injury picked up on Oct. 11 against AC Milan ruled him out for eight weeks.
In a news conference on Tuesday, Chelsea manager Graham Potter had said James was only taking part in light training.
