Si estás mirando el duelo eliminatorio entre Costa Rica y México seguro habrás notado que al Tri le falta alguien.
No, no hablamos de Raúl Jiménez ni de Chucky Lozano ni de otro jugador de campo. La ausencia es al borde de la cancha y corresponde al entrenador de la selección, Gerardo Martino.
Prometía ser una linda tarde de fútbol con un Brasil vs Argentina por las Eliminatorias Sudamericanas en el menú, pero al final millones de personas terminaron viendo un papelón.

England, the world’s fourth-ranked nation, went through the motions against Andorra, ranked 156th, in World Cup qualifying at Wembley on Sunday.

Brasil y Argentina vuelven a verse las caras después de la final de la Copa América 2021, que significó el primer título internacional de la Albiceleste desde 1993. Esta vez, la excusa son las Eliminatorias a Catar 2022 y el duelo ocurre en un contexto marcado por la negativa de la Premier League de facilitar futbolistas a distintas selecciones, escudándose en una lista roja del gobierno británico ante la Covid-19, la cual discrimina abiertamente a naciones latinas, africanas y asiáticas.

Four years ago, in the midst of his team’s ill-fated quest to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, USMNT coach Bruce Arena challenged any European nation to try to qualify for the World Cup in Concacaf. Arena compared Concacaf World Cup qualifying to a season of Survivor, I think.
I can’t tell if José Mourinho is trolling Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka, trying to encourage him to do the right thing or both, but the Mourinho Xhaka comment on Instagram has brought something to my attention I did not expect.
Xhaka tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of the international break, keeping the midfielder out of his Switzerland’s friendly with Greece on Wednesday and putting his availability for World Cup qualifiers against Italy and Northern Ireland into doubt.
On Aug. 21, teenage goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu earned a shutout for League One leader Portsmouth against Doncaster Rovers. Just 11 days later, the Manchester City loanee was making his fifth international start for the Republic of Ireland.
