The last time we checked in on Brazilian prodigy Kauan Basile, it was Jan. 27, 2021, and the eight-year-old Santos futsal baller had just signed a three-year deal with Nike, making him the sportswear giant's youngest-ever affiliated athlete.
"I like to play football," Kauan Basile said at the time.
Edson Álvarez has been phenomenal for Ajax and has become an undisputed starter for both club and country.
His recent form and performances have raised interest from clubs around Europe, especially in the Premier League.
The midfielder closed the 2021-22 season playing a total 41 games — scoring five goals and providing one assist — and winning the Eredivisie for the second time along the way.
During a distinguished playing career with Boca Juniors that included five Primera División titles and three Copa Libertadores triumphs, Argentine legend Juan Román Riquelme made a habit of destroying rival River Plate.
He loved nothing more than snatching the souls of lost Millonarios.

El sorteo se hizo, los grupos se definieron y ya conocemos la suerte que tendrán los futbolistas mexicanos en la Champions League 2022-23, torneo que tendrá su primera jornada el martes 6 y miércoles 7 de septiembre.
Hasta cinco futbolistas mexicanos podrían participar de la fase de grupos de la UCL.
Los tres que estarán disponibles desde el inicio de la competencia son:
We all remember Nigel de Jong's kung-fu kick over Xabi Alonso's chest in the 2010 World Cup. Well, in Uruguay, there was a very similar play last weekend but 10 times worse. So bad that the player fouled is in the hospital and could lose one of his kidneys.
No kidding.
No country has been distancing itself from middle school putdowns as effectively as Turkey this summer.
Back in June, the United Nations agreed to officially change the country's name from Turkey to its Turkish name of Türkiye. While obviously not a big deal inside the country, NPR's Peter Kenyon reported that the move was a rebrand "to dissociate the country's name from the bird that traditionally appears on American dining tables at Thanksgiving and from the slang definition of a turkey as something that doesn't work or is foolish."
Natanael Alves de Andrade never imagined filling in as a stretcher carrier during a Brazilian Serie B league game would make him some sort of viral sensation. And all because of a childish tantrum in which he entered the field, threw the stretcher to the ground, yelled at the ref and dropped an injured player before escaping to the dressing rooms.
Epic? Epic.
Shakhtar Donetsk and Metalist 1925 played out a 0-0 draw in Kyiv’s empty Olympic Stadium on Tuesday as competitive football returned to war-torn Ukraine with the start of the country’s new Premier League season.
The opening matches of the campaign have been timed to coincide with Ukraine's Day of the National Flag and provide a further show of resistance following Russia’s February invasion that brought a premature end to last season’s championship.
Cada año se hace más común ver a jugadores mexicanos emigrar hacia Europa y, esta temporada 2022-23 en especifico, ha sido una de muchos movimientos para los jugadores aztecas hacia y dentro del viejo continente.
En ese contexto, no es raro ver incluso a más mexicanos compartiendo en un mismo equipo.
Y es justamente esto lo que nos inspira a dar una lista de futbolistas aztecas que tuvieron la dicha de compartir plantel con un compatriota en el viejo continente.
Poco a poco, Diego Lainez comienza a ganar minutos en el Braga SC de Portugal y a demostrar que puede ser factor.
Este domingo, el extremo mexicano entró de cambio y en los casi 30 minutos que disputó dejó su primera asistencia vestido con los colores de los Arzobispos.
