10 Jugadores Diferentes Anotaron En El 10-0 De Guatemala Sobre San Vicente Y Las Granadinas

San Vicente y las Granadinas visitó a Guatemala, en la primera fase de las Clasificatorias Concacaf para el Mundial de Catar, con la misión de no volver a casa con una maleta extra llena de goles. Por lo mismo, entraron al Doroteo Guamuch Flores con una pobladísima línea de cinco defensores. Lamentablemente para ellos, el plan colapsó como un socavón en apenas 94 segundos. Eso le tomó a los chapines en convertir el primer tanto de una jornada que terminaría con un abultado 10-0.

Leagues, Clubs Want Players To Be Allowed To Opt Out Of Copa América

South American players should be given the chance to opt out of playing the Copa América this month, the World Leagues Forum (WLF) said in an open letter to FIFA and the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) on Saturday.

The WLF, an organisation that represents more than 40 professional leagues and their clubs, said the abrupt decision to move the Copa América to Brazil after Argentina pulled out due to a surge in COVID-19 cases "directly affect(s) leagues, their member clubs and their players."

Previewing Italy vs. Turkey, Euro 2020’s Unpredictable Opening Match

A year late and thousands of fans short, Euro 2020 is finally here, and we couldn’t have asked for a more intriguing match to kick off the competition. After a year of uncertainty, the opening match is just as unpredictable as the 16 months that preceded it. Any Italy vs Turkey preview or prediction is mere speculation, as the Euro 2020’s first match is sure to enthrall.

Neymar’s Silly Little Penalty Kicks Friday Night Exemplify Why People Hate Him

Neymar had a pretty good game in World Cup qualifying on Friday night, leading Brazil to a 2-0 win over Ecuador with a goal and an assist. But watching that Neymar penalty vs Ecuador, I found myself feeling like a crotchety old man, yelling at the TV for a youngster doing something stupid.

Brazil has a perfect 15 points from five matches to top CONMEBOL’s World Cup qualifying table. Neymar is a big reason why, with four goals to go with three assists. He added to both tallies on Friday and now only trails Pelé by eight as the top scorer in Seleção history.

What Would You Ask Pulisic If You Had One Question? Well, Here’s What My Goofy Ass Asked

Imagine you get to ask the first American male to win the UEFA Champions League one singular question. What would you ask? Christian Pulisic is sitting there on the other end of the Zoom call staring into your soul awaiting your question. The pressure is on.

This was the situation I found myself in on Wednesday. Concacaf was kind enough to give me — an aspiring 22-year-old sports media graduate who just finished college last month — media accreditation to attend Nations League press conferences and the semifinal matches.

Lewandowski Is A Living Cheat Code Who’s Casually Pulling Off Mind-Boggling Tricks In Training

Two weeks after breaking a Bundesliga record that stood for 49 years, Robert Lewandowski continues to show to the world why he’s a living cheat code. While on duty with Poland’s national team the 32-year-old showed off an insane move that I shall dub the Lewandowski trick shot.

Costa Rica Casi Hunde A México, Pero En Los Penales Memo Ochoa Salvó El Bote

México estuvo a punto de hundirse en las semifinales de las Nations League de la Concacaf ante Costa Rica. Sin embargo, en los penales, Memo Ochoa brilló para llevar al Tri a la final del torneo, donde lo espera no otro que el USMNT.

Tal como uno podría haber imaginado, México se hizo rápidamente dueño del partido ante los ticos, con Héctor Herrera de titiritero e Hirving Lozano tratando de encender los fuegos artificiales en el ataque.

Iba Al Ángulo: Claudio Bravo Le Dijo No A Messi Con Una De Las Mejores Atajadas Del Año

Todo futbolista sueña con hacer un gol al ángulo. Bueno, todo futbolista que no sea un arquero. Esa casta, en realidad, sueña con un vuelo al rincón que se vea espectacular en la tele y en las portadas de los diarios. Claudio Bravo, portero chileno, tiene un par de esas en su extensa carrera y esta noche agregó una más a la colección, al ahogar un magnífico tiro libre de Lionel Messi, en el 1-1 entre Argentina y La Roja en las Clasificatorias Sudamericanas a Catar 2022.

Miren, por favor.

CONCACAF Stretcher Girls Steal The Show From USA-Honduras Nations League Clash

Still awake? The USMNT and Honduras did battle in the Concacaf Nations League semifinals for a grueling 90 minutes on Thursday with the U.S. claiming a 1-0 victory. The game featured at least five Honduras players being taken out on a stretcher (they magically healed and were quick to get back on the field). The fact that four Concacaf stretcher girls produced the most noise from the crowd is a testament to the overall performance.

We’re Seeing Prime John Brooks Right Now And It’s Masterful

The excitement around the USMNT is warranted. The quality of our young core is evident in the roll call of clubs they play for: Barcelona, Juventus, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund among them.

But the expectations have to be tempered. These players are still developing, which is also evident in the roles they play for those teams. Gio Reyna started the highest percentage of league games with BVB at 67.6%, followed by Dest with Barça (60.5%) and then Pulisic with the Blues (47.4%) and McKennie with the Old Lady (47.4%).
