The internet is truly the most bizarre place on the planet. If you’re out of the loop on what’s going down in pop culture, Nicki Minaj is in the media spotlight after making the claim that her cousin’s friend in Trinidad had a bad reaction to the Covid-19 vaccine that resulted in swollen testicles.

Euro 2020 finalists England pushed world champions France out of the top three in world soccer body FIFA's latest men's soccer rankings published on Thursday.

With the USMNT’s back very much up against the Olimpico Metropolitano Stadium walls on Sept. 8, something needed to change, quickly. The Gregg Berhalter halftime speech vs. Honduras was just what the squad needed, combining tactical tweaks with positive motivation.

El concepto rebranding se multiplica como plaga en el universo del fútbol, especialmente a la hora de rediseñar escudos de clubes y selecciones. Basta mirar a la MLS. Sin embargo, hoy el turno pertenece a México. O al menos eso es lo que parece luego del hallazgo hecho por Bill Reese, un usuario en Twitter que encontró la posible nueva insignia del Tri en el sitio de la Oficina de Patentes y Marcas Registradas de los Estados Unidos, USPTO por sus siglas en inglés.
El último empate ante Panamá le permitió a México mantener el liderato en el Octagonal rumbo a Catar 2022 y también seguir invicto ante los canaleros en eliminatorias mundialistas. El partido, sin embargo, marcó otro curioso registro: el Tri masculino cumplió 40 partidos consecutivos sin usar su tradicional jersey de color verde.

Momentos mágicos se vivieron esta noche en el Monumental de Buenos Aires, luego de que Argentina venciera a Bolivia por 3-0.

Lionel Messi, el capitán, marcó las tres conquistas y sobrepasó a Pelé como máximo goleador en la historia de las clasificatorias sudamericanas.
