Por días se habló que el Club Querétaro podía ser desafiliado de la Liga MX luego de los brutales y barbáricos actos de violencia protagonizados por sus aficionados, en el duelo frente a Atlas el pasado sábado 5 de marzo.
MEXICO CITY - Mexico's soccer league on Sunday said it would suspend upcoming matches at a stadium in the central city of Querétaro where violent clashes left two dozen people injured and restrict visiting fans from attending away games.
The brutal attacks among spectators during the Querétaro-Atlas match on Saturday sent 26 people, mostly men, to hospital with three people in critical condition.
En medio de la barbarie que obligó a suspender el partido entre Querétaro y Atlas -y toda la Jornada 9 de la Liga MX- también hubo momentos profundamente humanos, gestos que hacen pensar que en esta vida no todo está perdido.
Uno de los protagonistas de esos instantes, por cierto, fue nada menos que Hernán Cristante, entrenador de los Gallos Blancos. El DT hoy se lleva elogios y hasta el calificativo de "héroe" por las acciones que hizo para proteger a varias familias de Atlas de los violentos incidentes que se producían en el Estadio La Corregidora.
La pena continúa en México luego de los perturbadores actos de violencia vividos durante el partido entre el Querétaro y el Atlas en la Liga MX.
El eslogan "Grita x La Paz" del torneo Clausura 2022 de la Liga MX hoy fue completamente pisoteado durante los dramáticos actos de violencia vividos durante el partido entre Querétaro y Atlas, en el Estadio La Corregidora.
Barbaric, senseless and horrific scenes took place at Estadio Corregidor between Querétaro and Atlas fans on Saturday that has reportedly left fans dead. Mixed reporting has come in Saturday evening with one report claiming that 17 people have been killed due to fan violence. Other reports say people have been taken to the hospital but no mention of deaths.
Fan violence at Querétaro-Atlas in Mexico has led to reports of more than a dozen dead in the stadium. Terrible, terrible news.
USMNT young star, Ricardo Pepi, is in hot water after allegedly liking a racist tweet against Mexican people. The extra layer in the story? Pepi was born in El Paso, Texas, to Mexican parents, and in Aug. 2021, he decided to represent the United States over El Tri.
Before jumping to a conclusion, this is what we know.
BURNLEY — Chelsea fans chanted the name of their Russian owner Roman Abramovich during a minute's applause in solidarity with Ukraine on Saturday.
There have been gestures of support for Ukraine before kick-off at Premier League games, and Burnley's ground featured the slogan "Football Stands Together" and the Ukrainian flag on a large screen.
Ex-Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko called on Thursday for more aid and other measures in support of victims of the Russian invasion of his homeland.
Widely regarded as his country's greatest ever player, Shevchenko said global soccer authorities had done the right thing in banning Russia from international competitions, though the sport was currently the last thing on his mind.
The decision by FIFA on Feb. 28, 2022, to suspend Russia from international competition — a move that could see the national team excluded from the 2022 FIFA World Cup — breaks with a tradition of inaction by soccer’s world governing body over the ethical failings of member states.
