Con El Permiso De Cristóbal Soria Del Chiringuito: "¿Dónde Está El Grupo De La Muerte? ... ¿Dónde Está?"

Francia, Alemania, Portugal y Hungría eran parte del Grupo F de la Eurocopa. Grupo tan difícil como atractivo. Francia, vigente campeón mundial; Portugal, actual rey de Europa; Alemania, tetracampeones mundiales; y Hungría a completar el grupo.

Didier Deschamps, Joachim Löw y Fernando Santos contaban con los mejores equipos desde el vamos. Ponerlos entre los favoritos del torneo y llamar a la serie el Grupo de la Muerte caía de cajón.

Nineteen MLS players made the 23-man roster for the U.S. men's national team for the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Alex Morgan Leaves For Tokyo In A Week; She Still Doesn’t Know If Her Young Child Can Come With Her

U.S. soccer player Alex Morgan leaves for the Tokyo Olympics in a week's time but says she is still unsure whether eased coronavirus restrictions for nursing mothers will allow her to bring her 1-year-old daughter with her.

Some athletes have complained that they are being forced to choose between the Games and their young children but organisers told Reuters on Wednesday "when necessary, nursing children will be able to accompany athletes to Japan".

La Madre De Adrien Rabiot Arma Una Guerra Con Las Familias De Pogba Y Mbappé

Cuando Francia gana, la vida es color de rosa. Pero basta un pequeño tropiezo para tener que ir a buscar un balde de palomitas y ver el drama que se desencadena.

Pasó con el boicot de los jugadores a Raymond Domenech, en pleno Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010; con el supuesto chantaje sexual que involucró a Mathieu Valbuena y Karim Benzema, que dejó a este último seis años fuera de Les Bleus; y ahora con la masiva pelea entre la madre de Adrien Rabiot y las familias de Paul Pogba y Kylian Mbappé, tras la sorpresiva eliminación de Francia en la Euro 2020.

Meet Ben, The Englishman Who Doesn’t Speak Spanish Playing For Chile In Copa América

When you look at the Chile national team, one player might appear out of place. Ben Brereton is not your usual Chilean; he doesn’t even speak Spanish, the primary language spoken by the rest of the team. The English-Chilean forward had played with England's U19 and U20 national teams for almost five years before switching to Chile's squad this year for the Copa América.

The Best (And Worst) Fans From Euro 2020, So Far

While the Euros roll on through the knockout rounds, we have plenty of wild fan interactions already. From fans showing up to support their team in the wrong country to pitch invaders wielding rainbow flags, anything goes as fans are enjoying their time back. Football fans were kept from stadiums and fully supporting their teams for over a year by the Covid-19 pandemic, diminished to yelling at screens instead of faces, so we wouldn't expect anything less extravagant than what has been happening. Let's take a look at the best Euro 2020 fans so far. 

Tata Martino Closes Door On Efraín Álvarez Switching Back To USMNT

It seems the USMNT's long pursuit of dual national Efraín Álvarez will soon be at an end. Born in Los Angeles to parents originally from Mexico, Álvarez has represented both El Tri and the USMNT at youth level. 

¡Ayayay! La Agónica Clasificación De Ucrania Fue Eclipsada Por Una Espantosa Patada A Artem Besyedin

Ucrania está en los cuartos de final de la Euro 2020. La selección de Andriy Schevchenko se deshizo de Suecia de manera dramática, en el minuto 121 de la prórroga, en un partido parejo, emotivo y que dejó un momento realmente espeluznante: la terrible patada que recibió el delantero Artem Besyedin.

La jugada se produjo en el minuto 97 y en ella se ve al defensor sueco Marcus Danielson, entrando con los tachones arriba y sobre la rodilla de Besyedin. En principio, el árbitro le había puesto amarilla, pero tras revisar el VAR, la roja se volvió inevitable.

Sweden-Ukraine Round Of 16 Showdown Overshadowed By Gruesome Besyedin Injury

The Round of 16 duel between Sweden and Ukraine finished with the underdogs Ukraine claiming a 2-1 victory. A disturbing Artem Besyedin injury in extra time put a major damper on the mood.

Swedish defender Marcus Danielson was rightfully shown a red card after VAR review for an extremely high and dangerous tackle on Besyedin.

Home Sweet Home: Despite UEFA's Scheduling Procedures, England Still Managed To Benefit

When I first heard UEFA's plans to not have just one host city for Euro 2020, I was intrigued and pleasantly surprised.

The idea makes sense. Spread fans out across eleven host cities, which prevents hundreds of thousands of supporters descending on one particular country or city. It mitigates the COVID-19 risks (not something that was on the minds of organizers in 2020, but is beneficial in 2021) and helps the many host countries and cities financially without giving too much home field advantage to one country — at least in theory.
