Soccer players love tattoos and Uruguayan goalkeeper Sebastián Sosa probably has the best ink work at the 2022 World Cup.
Sosa didn't play in the 0-0 draw against South Korea, but his design didn't go unnoticed among photographers covering the game.
Uruguay and Real Madrid star Federico Valverde almost had the highlight of his career on Thursday during his nation’s 0-0 draw vs. South Korea. With the score tied at in the 89th minute, Valverde ripped a shot from over 25 yards out that nearly brought the house down.

México debutó en esta edición de la Copa del Mundo con un empate a cero goles frente a la selección de Polonia.
A nivel de clubes es común ver a futbolistas evitando festejar goles contra un ex club. Sin embargo, la escena es rarísima en partidos de selección y casi inédita en una Copa del Mundo. Al menos hasta hoy, cuando el delantero Breel Embolo marcó el gol de la victoria de Suiza ante Camerún.
El delantero del AS Monaco aprovechó un centro de Xherdan Shaqiri y desde el punto penal remató de primera para decretar el triunfo 1-0 de La Nati sobre los Leones Indomables.
AL RAYYAN, Qatar - A slightly different career path could have seen Yunus Musah lining up alongside fellow 19-year-old Jude Bellingham for England against the United States on Friday. He could even have been playing for Ghana against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal on Thursday.
Instead, the teenaged midfielder will pull on the United States shirt for the 20th time in Friday's World Cup Group B clash in Al Khor when his side will try to spring a major upset.
This morning began the same way as any other World Cup morning would: Wake up at 3:50 a.m., turn on the broadcast from my phone before putting the game on the TV, get my computer to begin writing. But in this exhausted haze, one thing immediately caught my color-deficient eyes: Cameroon and Switzerland were extremely difficult to tell apart.
There’s an unwritten rule in soccer where players don’t celebrate goals they score against former club teams. Instead of celebrating the player will typically put their hands up in the air (like if a police officer told you to put your hands up).
This kind of thing happens all the time during club play. It’s extremely rare to see on the international level, especially at a World Cup.
For the first time ever, American families will enjoy their traditional Thanksgiving meals before gathering around the television to watch something far superior to whatever the Detroit Lions are planning this season — the 2022 FIFA World Cup. We get four World Cup games on Thanksgiving Day this year, beginning at 5 a.m. ET and ending with the introduction of five-time world champions Brazil in Qatar at 2 p.m. ET.
Si has seguido a México en la era Gerardo Martino, seguro te habrás dado cuenta que el técnico argentino no es muy amigo de los trajes y las corbatas. Cada vez que dirige al Tri, el DT prefiere vestirse con la ropa deportiva que le provee adidas, sponsor de la selección.
Saudi defender Yasser Al-Shahrani was one of the stars in the surprising 2-1 win over Argentina. However, the player was not able to celebrate the victory properly after suffering a nasty facial injury. So bad that he was taken off the field on a stretcher and then flown home for surgery.
The whole sequence was hard to see.
