It's probably for the best that Lionel Messi was way too busy to watch Inter Miami play on Saturday night. While the Herons were getting smacked 4-1 by Philadelphia for a seventh consecutive defeat in MLS, Messi was celebrating his 36th birthday in his hometown of Rosario and playing in a testimonial match for Newell's Old Boys legend Maxi Rodríguez.
La Selección Mexicana inicia su operación RESET este domingo enfrentando a Honduras en su debut en la Copa Oro 2023.
Bajo el mando de Jaime Lozano, el Tri intentará borrar el mal sabor de boca que dejó el equipo en los breves siete episodios que alcanzó a dirigir Diego Cocca.
Si bien Jimmy no armó la convocatoria para el torneo, conoce a varios desde el bronce obtenido en los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio 2020 y espera exprimir lo mejor posible su talento para comenzar a reparar la quebrada relación que hoy existe entre el equipo y la afición.
Brandon Vázquez came off the bench to score in the 88th minute as the U.S. men's national team salvaged a 1-1 draw with upset-minded Jamaica on Saturday in the first match of the CONCACAF Gold Cup in Chicago.
Vázquez, of FC Cincinnati, entered six minutes earlier and was in the right spot in front of the goal when a Jesús Ferreira cross deflected off Jamaican defender Dexter Lembikisa.
Luego del fracaso de la Selección Mexicana en Catar 2022, uno de los nombres que desapareció de las convocatorias del Tri fue Héctor Herrera. Y a HH la verdad que la idea de estar borrado no le gusta para nada.
¿Por qué no lo llaman? El mediocampista de 33 años cree que todo se debe a su decisión de jugar en la MLS y así lo expuso el miércoles en la noche, luego del triunfo de su equipo, Houston Dynamo, sobre San Jose Earthquakes.
India, ranked 101st in the world, are flying high this calendar year with an unbeaten record of six wins and one draw, including an impressive 4-0 victory over Pakistan on Wednesday to begin the 2023 South Asian Football Federation Championship.
They managed that win despite having their manager, 55-year-old Croatian Igor Štimac, sent off before halftime.
Already leading 2-0 off a Sunil Chhetri brace (he's not finished yet, Messi and Ronaldo!), Štimac still lost his mind in the 45th minute when the referee awarded Pakistan a throw-in instead of giving possession to India.
Alan Pulido es un hombre con una misión. Luego de perderse todo el 2022 por una lesión de rodilla, el delantero se ha convertido en una máquina de goles que resucitó al Sporting Kansas City de entre los muertos y que de a poco levanta la mano para volver a la Selección Mexicana.
Sobre todo ante la sequía de goles que vive El Tri.
La última demostración del poder de destrucción de Pulido ocurrió el miércoles en la noche, con el delantero siendo responsable del doblete con que el SKC rescató un empate en su visita al LA Galaxy.
Jürgen Klinsmann has defended his underwhelming start to life as South Korea coach with the German yet to win any of his four games in charge since taking over from Paulo Bento.
Klinsmann was appointed in February and his team have drawn twice and lost twice as the Koreans look to build on their run to the knockout rounds of last year's World Cup under his Portuguese predecessor.
An opening draw with Colombia was followed by losses against Uruguay and Peru while Klinsmann's side were held to a 1-1 draw by El Salvador on Tuesday in their most recent international.
We spent over a decade thinking Lionel Messi was Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest nemesis, but how wrong we were: the player's real enemy is no other than the wrinkles surrounding his eyes.
He hates them.
I know it sounds egregious, but we have proof.
Cristiano scores a bazillion goals every season and keeps his body in perfect shape, masking the fact he's already 38. But he's no fool. He knows that the passage of time is ruthless, and he's very conscious of it.
Take, for instance, his last game against Iceland.
Con el breve capítulo de Diego Cocca cerrado, el futuro de la Selección Mexicana está ahora en las manos de Jaime Lozano.
El Jimmy llega en modo bombero y con la etiqueta de "interino" para dirigir al Tri en la Copa Oro que tendrá a México debutando este domingo 25 de junio ante Honduras.

JIMMY LLEGÓ A HOUSTON
History was made Tuesday night at DRV PNK Stadium, the future home of Lionel Messi, as Saint Kitts and Nevis defeated French Guiana in a penalty shootout to advance to the Concacaf Gold Cup group stage for the first time ever.
The Sugar Boyz — ranked 139th in the world — got themselves to the Gold Cup qualifying prelims in Fort Lauderdale by topping their group in Nations League C, but they had to get by Curaçao (a 2019 quarterfinalist) in the semifinals last Friday (which went to a penalty shootout) before Tuesday night's dramatics against French Guiana.
