Jermaine Jones destroza a Chicharito y propone un nuevo apodo para el delantero

Jermaine Jones ha proporcionado la mayor fuente de "material de cartelera" desde el vestidor de México al lanzar una evaluación mordaz del mexicano Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández. Si bien Jones dice que no etiquetaría a Chicharito como un "jugador sucio", sí cree que la afición del delantero mexicano por jugar directamente en la línea de fuera de juego lo convierte en algo molesto para enfrentarlo.

The USMNT Could Make A Massive Statement By Defeating Mexico

The United States vs. Mexico is one of the footballing world’s biggest international rivalries. The games are always intense, and the two sides clearly do not like each other.

La prueba de que, a diferencia de los hombres, las jugadoras de fútbol no lo fingen

Una investigación de la Universidad de Wake Forest en 2011 mostró que las jugadoras de fútbol tienen la mitad de probabilidades que los hombres de tumbarse y fingir una lesión durante un partido, y este video con Barbara Latorre de Barcelona lo demuestra.

Drake And Future Are All-In For El Tri

Drake and Future appear to be Mexico fans. Who knew?

Mexico Name Strong, Attack-Minded Squad To Break The Dos-A-Cero Jinx

The Hex kicks off on November 11 in Columbus, Ohio with the big one: the United States versus Mexico. El Tri manager Juan Carlos Osorio has announced his squad for that match and their trip to Central America to play Panama four days later.

While Osorio had the luxury of naming largely experimental squads for September’s final fourth round World Cup qualifiers against El Salvador and Honduras, as well as their October friendlies against New Zealand and Panama, the Colombian has named his strongest possible side in an attempt to end the Dos a Cero spell.

We've Reached Peak Giovani Dos Santos

For those watching Mexico play New Zealand in a friendly match in early October, it was easy to scoff at the sight of Giovani dos Santos wearing the captain’s armband for El Tri. Leadership has never been a quality directly associated with the Mexican attacker, but his continued evolution as a footballer speaks to his newfound maturity. 

Mexico Gets Serious About Hosting The 2026 World Cup

Mexico has previously stated its desire to host the 2026 World Cup, a tournament that will almost certainly be given to the CONCACAF region, but now it's getting serious.

Following CAF in 2010 (South Africa), CONMEBOL in 2014 (Brazil), UEFA in 2018 (Russia) and AFC in 2022 (Qatar), FIFA has all but promised the tournament to North America.

Queretaro Are Into The Copa MX Final After Penalty Shootout

Queretaro vs. Toluca in the Copa MX semis was a classic goalkeepers' duel, which is a roundabout way of saying it was a 0-0 draw.

So hats off to Alfredo Talavera (Toluca) and Tiago Volpi (Queretaro), and no one else.

Both players earned clean sheets, saved penalties and even both scored penalties in the shootout. In the end, Volpi made one more save than Talavera, and so Queretaro advanced to the final (8-7), where they'll play the winner of tonight's Superclasico.

This Banger In Liga MX Will Make You Want To Exercise More

Jonathan Urretaviscaya excercises. that much we can tell from his long sprint down the field that turned into a golazo against Chivas Sunday. He ran from his own 18 to the Chivas 18 with the ball and still had the energy to neatly chip the keeper. We would have collapsed in a sad heap somewhere near the halfway line, which is one of many reasons we are not a professional soccer player.

For more on Urretaviscaya's goal, let's check in with The18 amazing goals correspondent Surprised Koala. Surprised Koala, what did you think of Urretaviscaya's goal?

Carlos Vela Scores, Is Quietly Having A Pretty Good Season

If Carlos Vela keeps playing the way he's been playing, Juan Carlos Osorio is going to have a lot to think about come November.

The Mexican striker scored the third goal in Real Sociedad's 3-0 win against Alaves with a slick finish.

Vela has three league goals so far this season for Sociedad.
